Security
4 am call outs are the pits. I had to go to the museum last night at 10pm because an alarm had been triggered. Himself came too, with the dog, and one of the other custodians was there so himself and dog did a circuit of the castle grounds while other custodian and I checked inside the building. So that's 3 adults plus a huge black apparently scary dog.
Contrast that to the 4am call out where I decided not to try and wake himself [it wouldn't be possible even if it would be appreciated] and decided not to disturb the dog and arrived at the museum to find the alarm company hadn't bothered to call anyone else out. That place is so scary in the dark! Okay, so I'm a sissy and all too aware of the place's Horrible History. Good job the alarm was triggered by the wind and not some nasty toe-rag with a cosh and his mind set on the safe, wasn't it?
Now I am having self indulgent tea and toast with ginger and marrow jam, yum.
