So, wait. Is that a picture of the actual key or just a picture of a key, like, for reference?!?!

Haha, stock image? That would be awesome.

It's really bronze, half the length and has 4 holes in the... uhh, holder-side-thingie. :D

definitely a stock image of a key. Our front desk people are not quite talented enough to make a transparent background for their pictures.

So if your key looks like everyone else in America's key, it might just be waiting at our front desk.

...and I don't know what's so strange about the email. It gives you a good idea what kind of key was found. If you're looking for a big car key or some tiny key, don't bother the front desk at this time.

I got a brand new pair of roller skates,
You got a brand new key.

I think that we should get together and try them out, to see ...

Excellent! Now all I have to do is cut a key that matches that one and I can steal all your stuff!

You think thats bad? My old accounting dept would send out 3 emails every two weeks about submitting your time sheet. One on Monday to remind you that it was at the end of the week. One on Friday morning saying they need to be in by 3pm and then one friday at 3:30. If you still didn't submit it you got a personal email on Monday!

If only someone would think up a calendar like thing where you could put your own reminders that would occur on a scheduled basis of some sort!

No. OP is. He already had a reference in thread tags before anyone else mentioned it.

I'm willing to wager that the OP was thinking of this instead. Way to play along OP!

That's not a wager you should take.

The thought of quoting anything from either of those train wrecks of sequels is simply beneath me.

Ghostbusters all the way.

That's the kind of thing they SHOULD tell the office. Otherwise, someone will leave something in the fridge and be pissed off that it was thrown away.

That and it's a good test to see which people should be fired.
"Stop sending office wide emails! My delete key is broken so it takes 20 seconds to delete the email instead of the standard 0.1 seconds and IT hasn't got back to me about it"
*fired*


I don't see what's so bad about the OP's picture. I checked my key chain and none of my keys look like that. I has 8 keys.

My Kwikset key looks like that! And the copy that Lowes made for me!

And it's odd how this person was able to do a transparent gif of it. I hope they're not wasting away their skills as a receptionist!

EDIT>> lol @ stock image ... they should've just said a silver key marked ____ instead of taking the time to google the right image.

I like how he was still making the key for Neo & Co when they got there. Imagine if he wasn't done with it yet. They could have waited a few hours for the key to be hand cut or whatever.

Threads in OT are amazing today.

I was expecting this to be some kind of motivational email.. we get those periodically.
