Huh, well, I'll give them today to call me back and then I will try the Just Show Up approach. It's Quest Diagnostics, who I haven't dealt with before.
Yay meds

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
That's astonishing, Kevin. How bizarre.
It gets worse. They have new anti-terror doors, but they have a side entrance that lets tourists in to get to the cafe. The side entrance and main terror doors go to the same area, as the cafe is next to the lifts. So, if you want to get into the building and have a bomb? Turn up and say you're a tourist. You're in.
I actually found out about the bomb policy when they get a letter saying a bomb was going to explode through the post one morning. So they set off the alarm and got people searching. Needless to say, I left the office, figuring if I was going to die it wouldn't be from stupidity.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
yup. Fast and go in. there are a number of places around here that just do tests.
ETA: Quest is one of the places. even when it is crowded, things don't take too long , because most people there are just there to give up some blood

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
When I have blood drawn, I get a form from the doctor, show up at the place early in the morning, go through the process, they take the blood, and I leave (early morning is best, so I don't have to spend too much time awake and hungry; also, it's less crowded then). Results are sent to the doctor (with any luck).

Cool, I will pop in tomorrow morning. I didn't want to fast and then show up and have to wait, all grumpy and hungry. Seems like they could put that info on the recorded message if they aren't going to call people back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so classic. "What? I said terrorist -- it's on them if they heard tourist!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the bomb policy sounds very British. Neither Britain nor the US have a lock down on office stupid--that just sounds the way Brits would have at it.
I'm reading the article about Halloween episodes, and it's really thoughtfully written. Perhaps more thoughtfully than my painkilled brain can do justice.

You should win something for being the last member of the team, Jilli. Something other than all the work the team does, I mean.

I like the term "terror doors."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I should get a "terror desk," which I will hide under if the situation warrants.
