For whatever reason, my company cracked down on bikes in the building, enforced by the security guards we have to get by at the entrance. I, uh, did some emailing voicing my opinion about the matter and solutions to the crappy bike racks we were supposed to use. The email ended up in a VP's office, and the end result was bike lockers for us right outside the entrance.

The security guard who told me about the enforced policy was pretty apologetic at the time. I'm sure he was just doing what he was told. If his personality had been different, I'm sure he'd have enjoyed the power of authority over me. But Frank and I got along great... :-)
