It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Wrong angle

I remember a scene in the classic "Heavy Metal" where this mousy guy is testifying against a right bastard. The bastard tells his lawyer "Don't worry, ... I got an angle." For some reason I remember the guy's name on the stand. He was Hanover Fist. The more Hanover testifies the more this other personality starts to show up. He turns from a mousy nobody to a raging hulk bent on rending the bastard. Hanover chases bastard out the door and down the hall, only to corner bastard and just as he is about to pounce, bastard tells Hanover "Good job Hanover."

Hanover shrinks back to his scrawny  self and says "Thanks Boss." Hanover gets flushed out an airlock for his trouble. I guess Hanover should have had an angle too.

Apparently my work had the wrong angle on the addressability (wheel chair) ramp at the back of the building. they have to rip it out and replace  it. In the meantime, there is a temporary ramp made of aluminum and pipes at the front of the building and barriers to prevent people from walking in to a hole fencing off the entire back half of the building.

If you walk out of the parking garage, you would normally have walked up that ramp in the back to get to the revolving door to the lobby. The elevators in the garage are now blocked off so you have to walk inside the parking garage to the front almost hidden door to walk between the garage and building. it is annoying. Considering how much I hear people complain about the garage and getting around inside it with a car, I wait with head in hands for the bitching to commence over the construction pedestrian dentures.

The building where we reside now is a good one. The security is pretty good as far as I can tell and the services are in line. I do not work with them directly so i don't know how much haggling goes on behind the scenes.  I've heard of worse and even worked in a couple. The last one was not really the owner's fault. The foundation was sinking and cracking. You could see new cracks on the walls daily and in some places on the first floor, you could roll balls around the corner. they just plane had to move to a new building.
