ARGH! Awoken by the Alarm Company
Advertisements [?]
I don't know if anyone else here is the number one person on your company's alarm phone tree, but let me tell you, I am sick of it. I live only a block away from my job, and I am the first person to get called, and if I don't answer my home phone (its in the living room) then they call my cell phone, which is charging nightly by my bed - so either way, I am up. Well this morning at bloody 6:30 AM, I get that fateful phone call, "hi, this is the Security people and we are calling regarding the alarm being set off at your place of employment, please respond as the police have been dispatched." ARGH!! I had just gotten to sleep after my friend had her baby at 4:45 am, so needless to say I was MAD!! So I wen't over to work and it was only the cleaning lady! She put the code in wrong so it set off the silent alarm. So I started my day today with a phone call, a false alarm and a fine from the police department for responding to a false alarm! GRRRR!!!!! Sorry, I had to vent, it just gets annoying because this happens A LOT! We have photographs in the lobby of the building that are just double sticked taped up and they fall and set off the motion sensor, well when I approached my boss about that, she just said to add more tape. Grrr....well enough...sorry...

Hope you all have had a better day!
