However, my gizzard is grinding a bit ... so I decided to vent a bit to the blogging world. :)
There is a group of people who need to be buzzed into the building at random times Thursday afternoons from 1-4, and Fridays from 8-noon and 1-3.
So, during those hours, I try to stay close to my desk, so I'm available to them.
By the time the end of one of those time periods comes, I'm chomping at the bit ... wanting to get things done elsewhere in the building, run errands, etc.
So today ... after doing my 1-4 stint trying to stay within earshot of the door-buzzer, I started tackling the "do elsewhere in the building" pile that had accumulated.
I was met in the building by an irritated man, who had tried to get in, and found the door un-attended, and come around and through the other door to seek me out.
"I am available to open that door until 4:00," says I, "I'm sorry I missed you."
"I was at that door at 3:59" he says, glaring at me ...
Oh. Of course. How silly of me ... I should have synchronized my clock to yours before I attempted to plan my day.
Yikes!

It probably wouldn't have helped to explain that the extra exercise from walking to the other door was your contribution to a healthier new year?

No ... I think he had already decided I was incompetent, and aiming to make his life miserable ... so I just gave up.
It's not like you at a 911 dispatch station or something. I vote to forgive you for not synchronizing your watch.
