Paranoia is my friend.
General guidelines for security:
1. Do not assume anything. / Ne predpostavljaj ničesar.
2. Trust no-one, nothing. / Nikomur, nilčemur ne zaupaj.
3. Nothing is secure. / Nič ni varno.
4. Security is a trade-off with usability. / Večja varnost
pomeni manjšo udobnost.
5. Paranoia is your friend. / Paranoja je tvoja prijateljica.
These guidelines I read today on slidedshow my friend sent me. They apply to Internet security.
But at the moment I am sitting in the office. And it all applies to me. Paranoid to leave. Why? We had a drink with friends from the corridor, and got late. I had to go back to the office to pick up my laptop. The building is closed so you can only come in with a card. A guy ran after me that he had to enter as well. Then he went exactly on the same floor as I, and asking me questions. He left the elevator for the same direction as I did. Then he went straight forward and I turned left to my corridor. Now I am sitting in my office for an hour already, afraid to leave. I guess I am being paranoid, but I keep wondering: what if it was a hoax. What if he is waiting for me at the corner? I am sure was not .. but still .. I am such a chicken now. Can’t leave.
UPDATE:
I came home safe;). But this morning I told the story to my colleagues from the corridor and they told me no such guy works here in the corridor neither on this floor. So, the guy apparently lied to me about working on the same floor but don’t know what his intentions were.
Anyway, next time, I will be 100% more careful: “Sorry, sir, but you will have to use your own card to enter!”

I suppose you have a (cell) phone there with you, so you could call someone to come and pick you up if you think it’s prudent, or even the guards if there are any in the building.
“Better safe than sorry.”
And you better post something tomorrow morning as soon as you get your hands on a computer to let us know you’re fine, young lady…
Sheesh, scaring your fans like this.
