while i made my 30 miles 1 and a half hour trip home from work today I recalled another security guards are stupid story ... this particular story is rather old but its a classic.
I once worked for a very large and prestigious biotech firm ... now a little known fact about this biotech firm was how steadfast they were in maintaining security on their campus. Case in point, the bike riding security guards swarmed, tackled and handcuffed someone for swiping their expired badge trying to get to his desk one morning.
Back to my original story ... I frequently ate lunch "on campus" with my fellow co workers. We would walk over to the closest cafeteria, which happened to be in one of the newer buildings. They attempted to make the building seem less for boding and open by installing glass panels as walls for the first floor. Needless to say all the doors were also made of glass. The building also housed an open patio for people to dine alfresco.
Well on this particular day, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the patio was fully populated. At the table to our left was seated a group of security guards on their lunch break. I didn't give them much thought and happily enjoyed my lunch. Several minutes later I was musing about my day while staring off into space, one of the security guards had also finished his lunch ... imagine a man whos about 5 foot 6 ... heavy set ... and generally unimpressive looking. Well he gathered his trash, and started prodding towards what I believed was the door.
**SMASH**
Can you believe it .. the man actually walked STRAIGHT into one of the glass walls, RIGHT into the wall so hard that he fell on his ass. Now I know this makes me sound like on cold ass bitch but understand I didn't really have a chance to be concerned since I never seen a man move so fast. One second he was on his ass, and the next he was standing gathering his trash off the ground. So needless to say I didn't even have the opportunity to ask if the man was all right...
