Why I hate doors

Here's everything that I know about doors:
  1. They open.
  2. They close.
  3. Some doors lock.
Thank you, that is all.

Oh no wait. Besides IT, I'm de facto in charge of security, sprinkler systems and doors. That means I'm in charge of organizing maintenance and replacements of doors. Which means I hire contractors to tell me BS about doors. I now know about solenoids, strike plates, digital readers, hinge pins, door closers, sensors and our building's air pressure problems. It's not a bad thing, but I wish it weren't me.

There was a cute guy fixing a forklift at the back of the shop who had a British accent and he was impressed that I had a screwdriver and was taking the lock apart. Sadly he didn't ask me out. Probably couldn't: girl with a screwdriver after all, way too intimidating.
