Hey, Babe,
Babe,
I went into work yesterday, the lights were off, and the Detex wand was lying there, so i settled in; I still had about an three-quarters of an hour until clock-in. I was fairly certain it hadn't been unmanned prior to my shift, but until I saw on the monitors A[]n walking around, without the wand, I hadn't been certain of who it was. The interesting thing is that [A] is normally the fellow who relieves me, so this either meant that he had pulled a double and would then relieve me in eight hours, or I couldn't figure it. I relieved him, he handed off the Security Desk mobile (I had already pocketed the Detex wand) and started my shift.
About an hour in, the Customer Service Manager N[]n visited me and was surprised to find me there, mis-remembering which day of the week it was, and had expected G[]e instead; she has visited him on more than one occasion, and this time, she had cookies. :) Home-made peppermint bark, and crispy oatmeal raisin -- a first for me -- tasty. Found out that [A] was getting paid the big money for his many overtime hours, some of which was defrayed by the Office, and the rest by W[]n Security, our employer; [N] was less than thrilled to be paying that, but, what could be done? We chatted a bit, she performed her evaluation, and then had to go and pick-up another Officer near my neighbourhood and take her to a Framingham to fill the holiday slack left by someone else. My hours were whiled away, and I made my tour, ate dinner in the building management company/building owners' office, where I am invited not only to weekly lunch, but to snack each night. I then completed my shift, and found [A] ready to relieve me. If he's there again today, I will be mildly surprised, and wowed by the money that he has made. Hat's off to [A], big-money baller. Go-him!
So, that's how I spent the 25th of December.
What did you do? Looking forward to your reply.
Kisses,
