Keyless Teeth
April 23, 2007
If one carries a proximity card for entry and reentry of one's place or work, and one must carry it when moving around the internal office in order to open important doors, what is one to do with said key card when one is in a be-stalled lavatory and is in possession of approximately zero pockets?
Place it on the floor? On the counter near the sinks that are separated from the stalls by a wall and a door? Hold it in one's teeth? Try harder to manage buttons and zippers and elastic while holding the card and praying it does not fall into the water?
Maybe the better question to ask is how long would one have before confronted with the need to explain teeth marks in ones key card?

You never cease to amaze me :) Have you considered one of those wrist bracelets or a lanyard? Just a thought... You of all people could come up with a more creative idea I am sure.
At least it's your own card. At my last job we had a shared key to the bathroom.
..the bathroom has a keyed entry?...I would feel safe just knowing my shit was secure - then you KNOW nobody is taking one!
The bathroom isn't really locked. There are two sections of the office. The bathroom (and the kitchen) (and the files) is in a separate section from my desk and it requires a key to move from one section to the other.
We were given wrist/arm bands when we were given our new keys, but I really really really don't want to wear my key all the time. Carrying it in my pocket whenever I need to get up from my desk works just fine for me, unless I don't have a pocket. Then it doesn't work too fine.
