Well, I'm glad the FIVE check-ins we were expecting tonight never came in, because if they had, I wouldn't have been able to get them into their rooms. When I got here, the left computer was not communicating to the card machine. Now neither computer will talk to it. It tells you it'll make the card, but that message neeeever gets to the encoder machine you slide the card into. Marvelous!
So this fellow comes in through the side door and intends to get into his room that is RIGHT THERE. Instead, he finds he has to walk down to the front desk because his card will let him into the building, but not his room! Weird? Yes.
I can't encode him a new one, but wait! There's a card machine in the back, with a computer full of permissions to make wonky-cool cards. So I head back and try it out. It does not allow me to make cards. It goes through the whole form you fill out on what you want it to make, but when you click make card - zilch.
So I make the guy walk all the way back down to try my master card. My master card does not work either! So I search the front desk for the other MC. Nothing! So I wake my boss up, make him talk me through it on the phone. He hath no suggestions but to make another MC. So I do, I walk all the way back, and voila - access at last. Not that he'll ever be able to leave his room again.
Hey, by the way!
HAPPY (early) HALLOWEEN!!!
