At 200 Park in NYC, the metlife Building, or you old timers the Pan Am building, Barclays Bank has several floors beneath us.
Each Floor has Glass entry ways and a Robot at each door. Technically these robots are human security force members, grey suit, ear piece and all. Sans weapons, though - that would be dangerous.
You have to wonder what these people seriously do all day. Whats being said into these earpieces. What about the watch microphones? I seriously hope, for the safety of Barclays that their ipods are not attached to the cool squigly earpieces.
Our cub reporter, poodle, was on the scene today. ( he was actually getting lunch - hey a poodle's gotta eat!). He happened along the new Barclays Lobby in our building opposite our office. He noticed a robot there, through the glass. The robot was not behaving very robot-ish.
He was barking like a dog at someone in the lobby through their glass doors.
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that that behaviour is not in the robot handbook.
Now, up to this point, I had thought that would be a cool job to have. Stand around all day, Poodle on one floor, cookie on the other. Can't you just hear the conversation:
"Poodle, I'm on four, going to check on 6. out"
"Cookie, I'm headed to the lobby for coffee. out"
"Poodle, I want a large Vanilla Latte. Out"
"Cookie, you want milk and sugar"
"Poodle, you forgot to say out. out"
"Sorry Cookie, out. Out"
"No Problem, Poodle. Out"
"OK, Cookie, Coming back up to 4. Out"
"OK Poodle I'm out, out."
Come on people we can have a lot of fun with this.
What I find most entertaining here, is A. Cookie was in Long Island that day and B:
Poodle is the one that saw the dogs barking. How ironic.
Who let the dogs "out"???
Out.
