To Catch a Thief

I know we live in a third world country - but one of the things i'm happy about is working for a company that has a first world facility. I seriously think it's one of the best place to work for, buidling design-wise. So imagine my horror when one day security decides to act like we were in Columbine and start implementing 007-like security measures. Rampant laptops mysteriously disappearing have forced us to act as such. And now behind sleek interiors, visitors wonder what the commotion is all about at the lobby. Unfortunately whenever we enter and exit our building we not only have to pass thru electronic gates we also have to pass thru the laptop registration booth, wherein the designated guard swipes the bar code onto your laptop to match this with your face. Hey i do feel secured, somewhat, heaven help that theif if he decides to strike still..i just miss not having to wait in line, especially when i'm trying to be incognito and do a stealth-mode. Sigh i can't wait until they issue us our laptop padlocks. Yes it has come to that!
