Today I had to visit the customer's site at work. There was a meeting and they needed me there. I always hate going there. Even though the meeting started at 9:00 am, I had to get there early to beat rush hour traffic and get a parking spot. I was successful on that front. Got there is good time even though it was raining.
Last time I was there, a security guard told me I could finally skip going through the metal detector since I had a badge. Yes. As I entered past the metal detector, some guy called out my name. His voice sounded familiar. But I did not recognize him. Then I found out he was a coworker I have been working with for a year. Only talked with him on the phone before. Never saw him until now.
Good thing this guy somehow recognized me. His badge expired and he was stuck at the front door. It was early and there was nobody to sign him it. I escorted him onto the site. We had a long morning meeting. One of our managers showed up and offered to buy us lunch. He did not have to offer twice.
I got my normal salad. They have this mongo salad bar in the cafeteria with fresh fixings. I also tried out some veggie dumplings. They were nothing special. All in all, I probably had a $10 lunch paid for by the company. Not a huge deal. But it was a nice gesture. The real bonus came when we were able to leave 2 hours earlier than expected. I rushed home to miss rush hour.
Unfortunately I need to travel two more days this week. Not fun.
