Today, I fulfilled a life-long goal of mine. Be a spy. Now, technically I fulfilled this when I was six, and again at 15, and then multiple times since then. But this is different. THIS... was legit. Explanation? Certainly. ....
Last week I started working at Vivint. Totally awesome. Perk: all access SCANABLE badge to get into the building. No badge, no service. The first time I realized the power of these badges I kinda flipped out a little. Hopefully only inside.. Though I can't promise that some of that didn't leak out into the open and cause others to look at me with expressions simliar to "What.. the heck is that girl doing...?" It takes a certain person to appreciate the happy dance. (Hem hem... Tyler.)
ANYWAY. So. Today, we (those of us in week two of training for Customer Support) FINALLY got our badges! No more lame paper badges saying we were "Employees in Training." Gag. I now have a hard plastic slightly scrateched up card that has my face on it. And my name. And department. Take that. In the words of a much loved disney character: "That's right.... FEEEEEEL the power..." ("Oh. I feel it.")
But I still haven't gotten to the best part! Oh, yes. There's more. Wait for it...... Waaaaiiiit for it................ Ok. You're ready. Today, after leaving work, I went home. (GASP! Keep reading.) I unloaded my black hole of a purse of all my Vivint accessories (which conisists of a folder, pen, and my BADGE.), looked at said badge, then decided I'd take it with me. Just in case. Mom and I then headed out to the mall to meet up with my cousin and aunt, then when we finally decided to leave, the offer was made to show off my new office building. Hook. Line. And sinker. No one can resist the pull of Vivint's corporate office builidng. No one. So, Mom, Cousin, and I all took an adventure. And guess what I got to do.
Use my badge.
There you are. My spy moment of the day. Holding up my totally awesome badge to the sensor and unlocking a side door. Even though the front doors were still open and the receptionists were still there. I just needed to try it. Just once. And it was amazing.
True, it was slightly marred by the fact that I was using the wrong side for like 5 minutes and looked like a total idiot trying to get into the building... But I eventually figured it out, and the amazingness just eminated from me. (Big headed? Probably. It happens.)

World: ... Not really keeping score...
I know, the world doesn't like to keep score with me either. However, the person I don't like keeping score against is life. In fact, I HATE Life! That's when I'm like "hey I'm not really keeping score. It's just a game Life! That's why no one like's playing with you you're a sore winner! Why do you have to be so competitive!" Yeah, Life sucks!. Well, or life would say I just suck at it, but keeping score against the world...much better idea.
