Knock Knock

Nothing wakes you up more than the tap of a policeman’s flashlight.

I got to work like normal this morning and as I walked in the front door the alarm began to scream at me signifying that the normal guy who turns it off was clearly not in this morning. I sprinted to the back of the building in order to punch my alarm code into the panel. I plugged it in when the display says to me that instead of turning off the alarm, it went ahead and armed it again. Crap!! I tried to enter my code several times, each time the alarm seemed unimpressed with my efforts. Finally I decided I would trip the alarm again in order to allow for the window of time in which the panel would allow my code to do something. I sighed in relief as all the lights turned green and it said the building was clear. Woo!

Yeah, that’s what I though until I heard the loud tapping behind my desk. I ignored it at first, assuming I was hearing one of the many giant trucks rambling down the road. It happened again and I heard a voice. I spun around and looked out the window into the dark and was then blinded by a bright flashlight. What the hell? I jumped up and ran to the window, and within a few seconds I knew it was the police.

I gestured her towards the upper parking lot where I went up and met with her. She was a total doll and very apologetic of scaring the crap out of me. I explained to her what happened and she understood completely. She didn’t even take down a report with me there, but did take my name, which was cool since it means I am on file as an employee, which is strangely comforting since I get here so dang early.

I had been kind of sleepy since the warmth of the night was making it difficult to sleep. In addition to that, it clearly was messing with the cats. At one point I was woken up by Breezer who decided to sprint across my face, leaving a nice scratch on my chin. Dammit, Breezer!

It looks as though Ken should be able to meet up with me in time to help with the evening’s activities. He and the boys are able to leave camp early and will meet me in Old Torrance to get the pop up and table to the booth. Yay! My mom also offered to help, which was incredibly sweet. YAY!

I managed to handle most of the major chores yesterday which means I won’t be as crazy busy Saturday. I still have the boys’ laundry, but that isn’t too bad. I also now am all curious as to this mystery noon appointment I have. Sarah told me I needed to be home at noon on Saturday for some kind of surprise, which intrigues me! I am glad she is coming by. I am going to try and convince her to come to game night and I also have a couple of cute things for her. Tee hee!
