Be the IT guy. Have all door access, 24/7. Shit is 100% a curse.

I had one gig where I had more access to the building than the building's owner and company ceo.

But the real sense of power came the day I realized I could trap anyone in the company into a concrete stairwell with locked steel doors by revoking keycard access while they were between floors. I had a emergency lever/opener added to the ground floor door - I don't know how that got past fire inspection in the first place.

Electrican here, it's even worse. Fuck lightbulbs and florescent tubes, you don't need me to change those.

I've always wanted a door to nothing in particular with a triple deadbolt eye scan and pinpad access but its all for show just so people wonder what's in there and really you just tap a card to unlock it all.

I work in construction and currently work on the restructuration of an active airport, with various worksite around the airport. I have a very cool badge that clearly states that I can access almost every place. Regularly, when I'm in a part of the airport that is in activity, I have people asking me directions, and I'm like : "No, I don't know where gate 15 is, but I can tell you everything about the beam above your head if it helps..."

The tough part is when you no longer have that access after you're used to it when you get a new job.

No! Don't call security! I swear I worked here a decade ago, I'm just absentminded.

Knowing the code to staff only areas gives me a feeling of power. Even though there's nothing back there but a filthy office, stock room, and canteen.

I worked at a five star hotel before. It was awesome going from the lavish, marble surroundings and air conditioning , through one set of doors into the kitchen, down the stairs and out to the barren concrete walls and flickering lights of the staff area and infrastructure parts of the hotel.

"Let me check if we have that in the back for you."

fucking hell. I had to read that like 3 times to understand it. A period or comma now and again never hurt anyone.

May I interest you in a Flipper Zero ? 😉

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I've been interested for a while but it seems more like a toy than a tool, no? Do you get much use out of it?

[-] termaxima@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Oh i don’t have one 😆 but it sure seems useful to open some doors you’re not supposed to !

It is the fancy toy version though. There are cheaper devices that do some of the same things, although I’m not sure I’ve seen anything else with all the features yet.
