My second day as a full-time member of the company was vastly different from the first, and very much an adventure, at least a short one. Short as in, couldn’t get past security, short. We use a badge system to access the main building area that leads up to the offices and this checkpoint is  about 100 feet into the main building, so I technically got into the building I just couldn’t get to my workstation. I had a feeling something like this might happen and attempted to get out in front of it last Friday, but something went wrong in that process. Before leaving work last Friday I had spoken with security and gave them the heads up that I would be converting from a contractor to a full-time employee and expressed concerns about my ID not working this morning due to my employee ID changing (we use different ID Standards for contractors versus full employees). They made a note in this system and extended my badge access so that my contractor badge would work through tomorrow so that today I could get the new badge (we couldn’t create it Friday because my new ID wouldn’t be live until today), but it looks like the system overrode those changes. This seems like it would be a simple thing to resolve except that the majority of the system is automated and I get to the office very early, 5am today in fact. This is an issue because the people needed to override the access aren’t in the office at this time. So it took almost an hour and me text messaging my manager to get it all straightened out. I was able to get temporary access and, later in the morning, get my ID badge updated to my new full-time employee badge. The rest of the day was business as usual though, so that was nice. Tomorrow should go much more smoothly.
