Just a consultant...

So there I was, in my client's main lobby one morning because I had forgotten my ID badge. No big deal, just sign in and get a visitor badge for the day. I walk up, show my ID, and explain what happened. The security guard (from a 3d party company) looks me up and down, checks the computer, and says, "...hmm, I don't see you in here. Are you an employee?". I say no, a consultant. "Oh, a CONTRACTOR. ".

I bit my tongue to not say, "yeah, just like YOU.".

Why, I've never been so insulted.

Humph.
