Hello there to all my imaginary friends,
The procedure is simple: You walk up to the window, ask for a tool. I check the inventory and if we have it, I go get it for you. You present your badge, and I copy down the badge number and part identificaton number so they can be entered in the computer. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
I really wanted to ask the guy I just handed a drill to why he wrote his number down on a piece of paper and slid it across to me. I could see his name on the badge heck I could see the number on the badge,and when I entered the number, it matched the name. Seriously, why the secrecy? You speak very good, plain, un-accented english and appear free from speech impediment. You had to know the number to write it down. You were standing three feet away.
From somewhere in the back of my brain, a strange voice bubbled to the surface of my thoughts, "Speak your true name within the circle, and I shall own your soul!"
From now on, no more shrimp scampi before work. Nope. Never again.
