Morning, Gents! Well, yesterday was certainly a Monday. Got a call from my supervisor at 5:30 am to tell me that she needed me to pull me from one office to cover another that had a call out. "Sure, no problem," I told her. I mean, that is my job, which is part of the reason I like it so much. So, I grabbed my lunch, bag and everything I needed and headed out early. I did my usual stop at Dunkin' Donuts for my ice tea and then headed to the office. I got to the office a bit early, but seeing a light on in the hallway, I headed in. I don't have a key to unlock doors, but my badge allows me access through a back door, and this is how I got in. So I'm sitting at the computer when I heard a knock on the window. I looked up from my computer thinking I was going to see a someone trying to get in, only to see a police officer. Then it hit me: I set the alarm off. I went to the front door, opened it and saw two police officers staring at me with their hands on their guns, not pulled, but certainly ready. I looked at them and asked, "I set the alarm off, didn't I?" They both said yes, and then I proceeded to show them my ID badge to prove I worked there. They were cool about it and told me to be careful before heading off. I knew that was going to happen at some point....just surprised it took me this long to set the alarm off. Then the day got started and it was nonstop all day. I barely had enough time to eat lunch, but glad it ended. Now I'm off to yet another office. This time I'll wait until I see someone go into the office before heading in. Have a good day, gents.
