Work

I made a positive contribution to work by proposing a sign for the perennially-blocked door 10 that warning people that door is an emergency door and not to be blocked. Door 10 is in a short corridor next to a change room and people keep commandeering it to store stuff. Specifically clients. I think I may have annoyed the client last Friday by informing them I wasn't going to open the theatre until that exit was cleared.

Of course, nobody will read the sign but at least it will be there.

Not as annoying as the time the Hack the North kids decided the best place for a pile of duffle bags was against the outside of door 8, one of the two main balcony entrances.

The legion of house managers got a long form of things that we're expected to do, each section of which we had to initial before returning it. I was not the only one who read it looking for sections that might have been inspired by something I did or did not do.

Reminds me of a train commute I used to do. One day, the train arrived, I pressed the door button and a pile of bags fell on to the platform. The train had previously stopped at a station serving an army camp. The squaddies had got on from one side and piled their bags on the door opposite, not realising that that door opened at other stations. The train guard was none too pleased.
