No cause for alarm

Problem 1: Received mixed information about the alarm system and was first to arrive in the morning.

[It turns out that the difference between a four-digit alarm code (wrong) and five (right) is characterized by a piercing and altogether convincing alarm, followed by realistic visions of a heavily armed security force arriving and opening fire on me and my suspicious paper bag, filled with what forensic experts would later find to be muffins (both corn and chocolate chip).]

Solution: Figured it out before strike team arrived, apologized (semi-)profusely to amused production manager. Problem 1 overcome!

Problem 2: Left passport somewhere in the office two days ago, having brought it for payroll paperwork.

Solution A: Panic, sure that a look-alike is gallivanting in Latin America, committing terrible atrocities and leaving photocopies of my passport as evidence at each crime scene.

Solution B: Open photocopier, retrieve passport, feel affection for coworkers who either a) don't make photocopies or b) carefully replaced my passport each time they did.
