work wonderful work

Yesterday when Craig got home from work, I said, "I have to tell you what happened at work today; you will be amazed." And he said, "no, I won't." Because, well, basically he has heard so much crazy shit about my work that its probably true that he cannot be surprised anymore.
But just imagine that your heard the following (of course, entirely hypothetically). Someone who works in a large organization, lets say a university, has a colleague who has over many years become increasingly disaffected and badly behaved. Events transpire that lead said person to pursue legal recourse against perceived aggressors/transgressors. Months pass as the legal machinery grinds along and then you find yourself in a meeting, not with the disgruntled colleague, but with the head of a key affiliated unit and you learn that disgruntled one has been in possession of a master key to that unit for years and still has it and well, has had access to all files, all everything while the legal action has been wending its way along. And no one thought to take the key away? Or more likely, no one really remembered that it was in this person's possession.
Of course the above story is really just hypothetical, a aren't you glad that hasn't happened to you story...
