This new repairs reporting process is brilliant. Maisie's had a morningful of it. The latest is reporting some work to be done at Dutch Bend.
"We need a door to be repaired at Dutch Bend Library....
...Yes, Dutch Bend Library. A door. We need the padlock to be removed and the door made good....
...a padlock...
...and the door made good...
...they're not open on Wednesdays, so if the job can't be done today it'll have to be on Thursday...
...if they ask at the counter the staff will show them which door it is...
...well, it's the door to a room that's not in use any more so we just need the padlock taking off and the door made good...
...yes, they're closed Wednesdays...
...No. It's a door. We need the padlock taking off and the door made good..."
When she finished her call she looked up at me.
"How often did I say that we needed a padlock taking off the door and the door making good? Do you know what he asked me? 'Is this window on the inside or outside of the building?'"

Assuming it is a Dutch door since it is Dutch Bend.
Wonder if you could say it is a window and they will show up prepared to fix a door...or handbag, as the case may be.

Moo!
Some people need to be trapped in a revolving door for hours, in order for our own amusement, don't they???!!!
...or perhaps trapped inside the room with the door that's padlocked and not yet made good. Make the punishment fit the idiocy. Selah.
It's terrifying how quickly you people have tuned into our corporate mindset.
