The spookiness continues

Today I went to a workshop at the new building I'll be working in once I get my clearance. It is a secure site. I went by bus (well, bus and then bus) and many of my bus-mates were clearly lefty university professors being all public transportationy, so it was quite the shock to the system to arrive at my destination and walk around the high-security fence (a "Hercules" fence, made, perhaps, after the stable shovelling?), past the guard gatehouse (only after showing my badge), and past the in-building security desk, where I was forced to surrender my (possible security hazard) cell phone. I'll stop here -- if I write any more about this, I will probably have to find you and kill you.*

How did I get here?
