I bussed it the next day and waited outside the building until someone showed up and then waited outside my office area until I saw the custodian inside who let me in.
Yuck. Thankfully forgetting my FOB isn't that big of a deal.
Our office only requires a FOB outside of normal business hours (8 to 5). I arrive early so I can shower, but after that I generally don't need my FOB for the rest of the day. Seeing as a co-worker showed up at the exact same time as me, it turned into a complete non-issue for me. Viewing the parking lot, there was one person already inside as well so at worst I would have just had to walk around to the back of the building and bang on the window by his desk to have him let me in. Which wouldn't have been the first time.
