The exercise:
Write two haiku about: security cameras.
The RDOS has been dealing with a lot of break-ins and vandalism recently, so I've been tasked with (inherited the task, really) figuring out how many security cameras we need and where they need to go, along with the necessary signage to go with them.
Which has already been less straightforward than I would have expected it to be.

Well, start with the camera above your desk so no-one can steal your chair again and work from there :) But it's not often you get the opportunity to build a panopticon, so I think you should make the most of it! I suppose the signage has to be a bit nicer than "Someone is watching you" placed in dark alcoves and around unexpected corners, but then you are Canadian... is it permissible to put the sign on a bear or a moose and allow it to roam the offices ('security') after hours?
I'm off to Mallorca (hopefully; in these COVID days I live in dread of being turned away on arrival because I look like I might have once coughed in my life); I'm at the airport now waiting for the flight and marvelling. This is London City, which I pick because there are usually business flights and fewer tourists. We seem to have a lot of tourists this afternoon though: there's already been an entitled prick who didn't want to wait 7 minutes for the check-in to open (really? Can he actually believe the flight will leave without him if he has to wait 7 minutes?) and a group of Karens who look like exactly the kind of people I come to this airport to avoid. Still, I'm sure it would be worse if there were EasyJet or RyanAir flights....
Security Cameras
Eyeless and silent
They observe your every move
And record them all.

Total coverage;
You can't steal a chair in here
Without Marc knowing....
Greg - hah. One of our Parks and Rec managers is all for an armed drone patrolling the hiking/biking trails the RDOS takes care of, so I... no, actually, I don't think the two of you should get together to discuss potential solutions.
Huh, I wonder why the tourists ended up there instead of the usual departure points? Though I suppose entitled pricks are not so easily contained... anywhere, really.
Well, that first one is sufficiently creepy, thanks kindly. But that second one is very comforting, so they balance each other nicely :)
