How stupid does IT guy feel now? Next time he’ll have to change every key except the i.
...arrived at my last job, brief induction - fire exits, stationary cupboard, tea etc then IS attended with laptop. It has a missing key, I forget which one. I said I would have brought my own key if I had known, should I order one from RS and other michael takes. He took it well.
It was a temporary spare until a new one (laptop not replacement key!) arrived.
It lightened the day.

I feel like the missing detail of this story was it was the R key or the S key then it has a joke in it, otherwise it's a Grampa Simpson rambling story that doesn't go anywhere....arrived at my last job, brief induction - fire exits, stationary cupboard, tea etc then IS attended with laptop.

At the time the fire exit signs were white with red writing, unlike the modern ones that are usually green with white writing, oh and the fonts where different too, I forget what font, but anyway the stationary cupboard, there were the red swingline staplers....

And we tied an onion to our belts, as was the style at the time.

Did they keep special stuff in the stationary cupboard that could not be kept in a moving one ?...arrived at my last job, brief induction - fire exits, stationary cupboard, tea etc then IS attended with laptop.

That anecdote went well 
The picture is uncannily unlike me or the workplace. It was TRW in 2012.
Irritatingly I can't recall which key was AWOL. It was a letter but that's it. Perhaps hypnosis will work?
Yes I did get a new key.
A whole set in fact.
Attached to the new laptop I suggested was incoming
The special stuff was kept in the moving cupboard (arse, I say ary, you say ery, let's call the whole thing off).
I seem to be becoming Frank7 in my anecdotage. Although I have never driven a cab.
Have I had my tea yet?
