Am I the first person to ever …

…  have to change where he parks his bike at work because of upgraded archives-preservation protocols?

I’m not grousing, by the way. It is zero inconvenience. And I am not clueless about the importance of maintaining archives and preservation issues. I’m married to a former librarian.

Still, I just cannot imagine this having come up before.

But you never know.

Remember the episode of “Mad Men” where a tipsy secretary driving a riding mower in the ad agency’s Manhattan offices all but amputates a visiting executive’s foot?

I loved when Roger Sterling, reflecting on the incident later, says “Believe me, somewhere in this business, this has happened before.”
