Win: I just checked in online for my flights to and from Munich and printed my boarding passes which means I only need to queue twice (at security and the gate). I only have hand luggage so getting out of the airport should be reasonably quick as well. Then I just need to negotiate Munich's S-Bahn/U-Bahn system and take a short walk to my destination.
Fail: They now "upgraded" our office doors with an electronic locking system. To open it from the inside you need to press a button on the wall and wait five seconds until the door slowly opens, to open it from the outside, you need to use the security tag you also need for the building. After waving it at the thing for a few times, you need to step back as the doors open outwards. Very annoying.
The end of the working day can't come fast enough...
