Indeed you don't. I don't like it myself, which is why I tried to analyse where that feeling came from. That's one function of a journal (mine, at least).
The final line of my entry refers not of course to lanyard wearers but to lanyards, and certainly I find many aspects of corporate (including educational) workplaces fundamentally inhumane, in a way that's epitomised by that object. The fact that you need a security pass to go to the loo or to make yourself a cup of coffee, for example, strikes me as suboptimal in all kinds of ways. Conversely, I very much admire the fact that you trust your colleagues enough to be able to leave your handbag unguarded while you do so.
