Application rejected by the police? No problem, become a security guard instead
I have worked in the same building, with the same receptionists and the same security guards for the last eight years. Now, this being a non-smoking building means that I have to go outside for a smoke. Which I do. Almost every hour. So I walk back inside the building and realise I have left my security pass on my desk. Thinking no problem, Mr. Friendly Security Man knows me I nonchalantly stroll past him and say hi. "Sorry Mr. X, you need to show me your pass". "But I left it upstairs, anyway you know me well enough by now". "Yes I do, but sorry Mr. X, you need to get a temporary one made at reception. I can't let you in otherwise, more than my jobs worth". The hairy ring then shows me the direction or reception (I have worked here long enough you doughnut, I know where the pissing reception desk is). At reception "hi can I get a temporary pass please". "sure Mr X, who are you seeing?" "err, me". "Oh, I need someone from your company to endorse it". "But you know me". "Yes I do, but how do I know you haven't been sacked". "??????" ............ what is the point I ask you !!
