I learned several years ago that you shouldn’t try to outguess the boss. You will end up doing the wrong thing every now and then.

The problem is, I’m not positive what this sign means.

On the one hand, it could mean that only company employees are allowed in the basement. That would make sense, except that the sign is on the back side of the door leading down to the basement. A visitor wouldn’t see the sign unless they went down and came back up the stairs. Plus the theater is in the basement.

On the other hand, the sign could mean that employees are only allowed in the basement, and nowhere else. That would make sense, because we are supposed to use the employee break room in the basement, and we are definitely not allowed to eat our lunches in the restaurant, even when we buy them from the restaurant.

But that couldn’t hold true all of the time, because then who would operate the roller coaster or bury fossils in the sand?

I don’t know.

Until I find out what the sign means, I’m going to just keep on wearing the Groucho Marx glasses and slink around the jobsite.
