Quick Trip is awesome
I had to report at work today by 5:00 A.M. due to a validation protocol that is being implemented over two weeks (including the one we're on currently). First I didn't recharge my phone, then I didn't bring my electronic key, and I was low on gas........the third factor would have been problematic since no gas stations are open at 4:00 A.M. in the morning. HOWEVER, a Quick Trip gas station was open ("QT"), in fact, it was basically the only place that was in business at such a time.
I saw seven other cars on my way to work, one of them was a police car which was right in the middle of the road, apparently the cop was taking care of business with two other cars; perhaps they got caught "under the influence." He eventually noticed that the traffic was building (the four other cars I witnessed during the whole trip to work) and made way to direct it around the two cars to which he was attending to.
I arrived at the work site to find that I had not brought my electronic key to access the building, the battery was quite low on my phone, I was hoping that an anvil would drop from the sky, knock me unconscious, put me out of my misery. I was able to make a single phone call to have one of my co-workers open the door from the inside.
