Things that make you go hmmm...

I've recently changed jobs and there are a couple of things that still seem odd about the new office, even though I'm well past the initial period at a new job where everything seems strange ("...excuse me, what's the fax number here?" ""Which printer do my documents come out of?" "Why didn't someone tell me that I needed a key to get back into the office when I came back from the bathroom?")

So here's some stuff I can't quite figure out:

You need a key to get into the office. Considering the high-security environment at my previous workplace I should be accustomed to this but I consistenly forget my key and consequently am trapped in the lobby until someone wanders out and rescues me.

The bathroom has a smell machine -- a GOOD smell machine. There's this little box on the wall above the stalls that periodically releases a puff of scented air -- pffft! -- presumably to neutralize any foul odors that might be present. I am a little paranoid that it seems to happen every time I'm in there...is it just a coincidence or is it reacting to some odor I'm giving off?

There is a receptionist desk, yet no receptionist. The empty desk sits right in front of the door that I'm always forgetting my key to.  There appears to have been a receptionist at one point because there's a PC and everything there...I wonder what happened to the receptionist?

It's just sugar water, you know

I'm kinda droopy right now because the dog and I didn't sleep well last night. However, I'm very excited because I have discovered Vitamin Water...some kind of concoction with Vitamin C in it and some fruit called dragonfruit.  I like it despite the trying-too-hard-to-be-cool copy on the label.  However it does have like a couple hundred calories per bottle so you can't really drink it like water, so to speak.
