The Stalled Server Room

The Daily WTF has an interesting post today.

A company had to relocate from the second to the first floor in their building. Unfortunately their server room couldn't be moved.

Here's the letter from building management explaining the situation:

Hi all.

As you all are aware, we have new tenants that have moved into the 2nd floor suites. The access to the server room is now via the women’s bathroom.

There will be a sign on the woman’s door that can be changed from OPEN to CLOSED and vice versa.

Should you need to enter the server room, please change the sign to CLOSED. Once you are done, please change it back to OPEN.

Once you enter the bathroom, you will be able to access the server room via the handicapped stall. Please close the stall door prior to entry, just in case someone doesn’t see that the bathroom is closed.

I know this isn’t ideal, but if we adhere to this protocol, I don’t think anyone will be disrupted.

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

I have one. Do the AAPD know about this? If they don't, they will soon.

That is absolutely ridiculous. I am handicapped and a funny joke people like to play is lock the door from the inside and then leave it that way. How sick people can be amazes me.

At one place I worked, one of the main communications rooms in one particular building was in a mezzanine level, accessible only through the ladies toilets.

Twas no great issue, bang on the door, yell out 'MAINTENANCE!' and stroll on in. The ladies didn't seem to mind either.

Mind you, we had our own lockable door in there and didn't have to lock any other poor bastards out of the toilets :|.

Strange but frankly: If you need to access your server room often, you are doing something wrong...
