Short Term Memory

Here is one from today.
Boss - "You need to take off more days. You are maxed on everything."
Me - "Ok but when I take a day off I take 2 days to catch up...I need some help."
Boss - "Well we really don't have anyone."
Me - "I hear you. That's why I haven't yet."
Boss - "That's ok lets discuss next month. Hey I also got an email from another project that needs help. Can you work next weekend too?"
Me - "..."
Boss - "..."
Me - "So work 7 days in a row?"
Boss - "Ya that would be great."
Sigh. It's like everyone has short term memory loss.

This morning my co-worker could not find their keys for the office.
We looked everywhere.
Then I remembered who this was. So I walked to the office door and opened it... his keys were in the lock.

Testing Locks (Over and over...)

Today I had to deal with someone who could not figure out that they could not test their door code on our keyless locks because the doors were already unlocked for the day.

Him-"It doesn't beep."
Me-"Right the system is already unlocked"
Him-"How do I know it works?"
Me-"I entered it, tested it, and I get in 3 hours before you do so if there is a problem come see me."
Him-"I sure wish I could test it."
Me-"Why?"
Him-"To see if it works."
Now I can hear the receptionist laughing and hard.
Me almost choking him - "Dude I know it works. I can swear that it works I used it myself when I entered it."
Him-"ok."
He walks off.

Five minutes later I look out and he is at the floor below me...trying it on the fucking door. That is already unlocked. He had gone downstairs to do it so I wouldn't see.
The guy is nice just a bit slow so I yell. "BEEP"
He just looks up at me sort of sheepishly.
Didn't see him for the rest of the day.
