As I left for work this morning, I didn't feel too tired, yet a series of events make me believe I was quite tired nonetheless. It all started when I attempted to punch out at work. I looked at the timeclock and noticed it was set to OUT - which is the correct setting if you want to punch out. In fact, I changed it to IN and then proceeded to wave ma badge in front of it, of course resulting in an error. I changed it back to OUT and tried again, but it threw up a fault once more.
I went back inside and had one of the colleagues check my timeregistration for me and surely enough, it didn't register my attempt to check out. Back to the clock for another attempt, only resulting in more failures. Checked at the front again, still no change. Back onto the site to attempt checking out at another timeclock, and after yet another failed attempt to check out, I changed it to check in, badged and it worked. A minute later I checked out. Finally, I had already wasted about 10 minutes if not more with this crap.
I drove back to the front and checked with the colleagues and it had now registered both the in registration as well as the out registration. Time to go home. Unfortunately, I forgot to badge out - all the other badge attempts before were time related, not entrance related - and I realized it while driving home. (Fixed that by phone this afternoon.)
When I got home, I found a parkingspot, not too far from my place, but as I got out I noticed some signs prohibiting parking from 07h00 till 18h00. One of them was turned around though, indicating it was no longer in service, but the other one wasn't. Instead of risking my chance to wake up and find my car towed, I backed out of the spot again in search for another one. Finally found one at the end of the street. Forgot my cellphone in the car, on the front passenger seat in plain sight. I didn't realize it though till I woke up a few minutes after 16h00 so I just walked over to pick it up and it was still there, no windows smashed or anything. Phew.
Off for my last shift in just over 2.5 hours - it's about time for it to be the last one for now...
