swestrupI don't know if I mentioned it here, but I lost my Intel ID badge. That's right, the thing I spent a full week going through the paperwork to get, and I had it less than 4 days before I somehow lost it. It vanished sometime between Thursday evening when I left work and Friday morning when I tried to reenter work without it.
In that interval I had ridden in a car, gone to a Korean BBQ, had coffee in a coffee shop, gone to my hotel room, eaten in the hotel breakfast room, and had ridden on a bus. Over the long weekend I managed to check all of those places for a lost ID badge but by this morning it was clear that it was gone for good.
So, I bit the bullet and told folks today that I needed a replacement. I was driven back to the badge office and in under two minutes they had invalidated the old one and issued me a new one. Had I realized it would be that easy I might not have been so diligent in looking for the missing one!
