Businesses with total lack of sense...

I work in a very secure area. We aren't supposed to bring anything into our solid, windowless, skylightless, locked room. After a good 7.something local earthquake a couple of years ago, everyone forgot to check our room to see if the inmates were still alive.

The power has gone out a couple of times in the last year, and it took a few seconds for the automatic switch to the generator. I was shocked at the NON-illumination of the 'emergency' lights. I have 4-watt nightlights that are brighter than those things! We are under camera and audio surveillance every moment; if they're thinking that they can see what we're doing under those conditions, I hope they're using infrared, because we can't even see each other except as faint shadows!

Anyway, I can't even carry my little pocket PSK in there, but I do sneak my little Photon in. So far.

Theres nothing like being stuck in a dark place with no windows and lots of stuff to bust your shins on thats why I carry 3 diffrent lights, gerber infinity on a neck lanyard, a princeton tec blast in my watch pocket and an inova x1 new style in my left front pocket. I've noticed that people are always needing a knife or scissors or a flashlight but never carry them when a victorinox classic and a photon or inova microlight costs less than most people spend on coffee from starbucks in a day. I've noticed that I'm always the strange guy that carries all that junk until someone needs it or the lights go out then I'm a hero then when everythings back working and the emergencys over I'm the strange guy again. Its always a case of we few having to save the many from themselves.
