So if you were walking up the stairs to your office, started wandering around on the floor, how long would it take you to realize you were on the wrong floor? Here’s how it went for me…

  1. Walk to the kitchen area to get some juice. Notice a “new” vending machine next to the soda coolers.
  2. Wonder why a new vending machine would already be half-empty.
  3. Walk past the printer room, notice that the printout holder on the wall had been moved.
  4. Walk past a conference room I had met in the day before. Notice that it’s not a conference room, but a shared office. Wondered how they switched that out so quickly.
  5. Start approaching my office, hear someone typing inside (and my office mate is out of town). Stop just short of asking him what he’s doing in my office.

I’m off to get some sleep, and hopefully avoid this situation in the future.

The conversation continues...

    I am using this information to extrapolate a detailed map of your office building to aid me during my next top-secret corporate espionage mission.

    I did that once when I was late for a meeting. Fortunately I realized before I opened my mouth that I was on the wrong side of the floor!

    But still.

    When I worked at StratCom, you could literally be shot for accidentally wandering into the wrong area.
