The Monday Morning Key Debacle

Yesterday morning's series of events:

-on the way into work, get a call on my cellphone from the boss, asking if I have a key to his office; he's locked himself out

-no I don't

-arrive and realize I forgot my keys at home, and the only spare is in the boss's office (which he's locked out of)

-he realizes that the HR manager may have a spare key to his office, which would allow him into his office, and therefore, me into mine, but HR manager hasn't arrived yet & no one knows where she is.

-boss asked me if I have key to HR manager's office. I do...it's on my key ring, back at home with my office keys.

-I realize I may actually have a copy of a key to boss's office, but it's in my desk, in my office, which I'm locked out of.

-maintenance guy arrives on the scene, states that Operations VP may have a key to HR office.

-I approach Operation VP, who says he doesn't have a key to the HR office, but gave one to the maintenance guy when the new lock was installed.

-maintenance guys says, "yeah, I think you're right" and searches his key ring, trying every available key. None fit.

-I decide to take advantage of the downtime, go to the corner gas station, buy some caffeine, and arrive back shortly.

-HR manager finally arrives, searches for keys to boss's office. Doesn't have one.

-Maintenance guy get's biggest wrench I've ever seen, beats the crap out of boss's door handle, snaps it off, and we all get to work.

Sounds like maintenance should have those big "keys" on all of their keyrings! I rememember laughing at "Garfield" comics. He loathed Mondays.
