Burglary skills are surprisingly important when building networks
Last week's reminiscence by "Erik" about locking himself in a client's premises inspired several readers to share similar tales. "Bilbo," for instance (not his real name) wanted to reassure us that "When working into the early hours of the morning it's easy to make mistakes" and that he had also locked himself both within and without the places he was meant to be getting work done. He had on various occasions resorted to popping out ceiling tiles and scrambling through crawl spaces as well as popping doors off hinges in the name of getting the job done.
He assured us he has learned from his mistakes. We can only hope - for his sake.
