      we call it Daylight Savings Time....
      When I wrote an essay about it back in 2001, I found that a large percentage of Europe and South America tend to call it Summer Time, and a quick glance around the 'net says that in one place it's referred to as Legal Time.

      Standard ticket prices for every one of these lotteries, year round, is usually $100 per ticket. >.>

      I could probably pay off a good chunk on my car for what he's spent on those tickets...

      Then once that was over I got hit with Daylight Saving Time extending my shift by an hour.

      I'm laughing at you being sarcastic and mocking my pedantry, not the fact you got stuck with an extra hour of work because of the time shift. Just so that's clear.

                Honestly, the police probably would have poured it out on the curb. So I fear it's end was tragic.

                Which brings us back to security and the many questions swirling around them at the moment. Honestly I'm not to sure either. The security company that handles the buildings also deals with the property management stuff at night ( water leaks, noise, etc ). However, in the past they've always gone to round up Beasts when I've called or deal with noise complaints and the like. So I was rather perplexed they declined this one.
                I know it's not your job, but have you considered contacting either the security company or the company that employs this security company about these security company employees declining a security call? I know if I was either running a security company or employing a security company I would be rather upset about such a thing, and heads would definitely roll.

                You are an evil man. But this is why I like you.
                Thank you. The admiration of evil is mutual, my disdainful friend. But in that situation I was not being all that evil, as they really WERE sitting at Table 13. The only evil part was informing them of that. (Had they been sitting at another table and I had made that part up, THAT would have been evil!)

                So I'd been in the office over 10 hours by the time I got out of there.
                On both Friday and Saturday I worked 11 hours. No break. On my feet. Serving cheap lunatics with loud tropical shirts. Welcome to Parrothead week in Key West. Welcome also to my mocking you bitching about working 10 hours at a job where you can sit down and only deal with one asshole at a time.

                Ironically, I love my job. Go figger.

                  Oh yes, everything was liberally documented for the client.

                  I am grumpy about it because I work nights, and have not had any vacation time off in almost 2 years. >.> Though it really wouldn't have bothered me too much had the previous 3 shifts been so trying. But at the end of a long, unpleasent week it was the cherry on top of my misery cake.

                  On Sundays I can't leave when I get off work anyhow because transit isn't running yet. Going to be stuck in the office for an hour after my shift tomorrow too because of Remembrace Day. Because transit here takes any excuse it can to not get up before 7. -.-

                    With that extra time, why not go somewhere in the area and have yourself a nice breakfast? Surely breakfast joints will be open at that hour.

                      These guys won't even call 911. What they apparently do is sit around in case they need to call a plumber.
                      That's not a security officer, that's a concierge officer. With nothing to do.

                      Seriously, I would love to hear more about this part of the story. Did he give some kind of argument as to why he wasn't taking security calls, or did you just take his name and hang up while your brain rebooted?

                        Whilst a handful are indeed open, none would qualify as "nice" and most are prefixed with "Mc".

                          SC: “GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!”

                          JESUSFUCKTIRE?!? Stay back!! I can’t endure this level of deranged cheerfulness this early in the morning! Oh my lord, what are you on? Because it seems like they’ve hooked you up with some pretty good stuff. But you’re radiating a level of cheer I simply cannot endure at such close quarters. It’s like garlic to a vampire. So if you don’t mind I’m just going to stay over here in the corner. Pressed up against the wall. Hissing.
                          Ewww, Morning People! *HISS* DO NOT WANT!

                          Me: “And can you tell me the security code on the back of the card, please?”
                          SC: “Oh, I don’t know what that is….”
                          Me: “It’s a 3 digit number on the back of the card to the right of your signature.”
                          SC: “Oh, umm……666? I think it says 666.”
                          It never fails to amaze me how people flip their shit over a simple number. Naturally, as a dirty heathen agnostic, I take a demonic glee in a) informing them of the amount of their change/bill if it comes up some variant of 666, and/or b) telling them "It's JUST a number, it ain't gonna bite."

                            Ahhh, the familiar lament of calling security/plumbing/electrical contractors for housing/defence/facility management clients. When you hang up from a caller, find the correct contractor to call (probably by sifting through a roster that makes your eyes bleed), and hope vainly that they will a) know what the fuck you are talking about and b) are willing to actually do their job. Hoping against hope that they will save you the clusterfuck of figuring out how to escalate the call and having to do 16 logs that all diplomatically say "Operator advised of details, contractor is a lazy fuckwit and declined to do his goddamn job".

                              pretty much as some people said call the company office and complain the one main rule in security is the client is always right so complaining to the head office will get your far as all contract security never want to lose a contract. Unfortunately security pays shit so you will get guys who don't want to deal with issues like that or are to scared to. although I have a funny story about a situation pretty much exactly like this that may explain(not that i'm condoning the security for what they said) why they told you this

                              I was doing overnight security in a high rise apartment building when I came across a large beast of a man passed out in a hallway. this was one of a few issues going on so the caretaker was awake helping out. I get down to the floor where the guy is passed out and begin to approach the passed out guy as I at the time was also doing low income apartments on other days so i'm used to waking up drunk guys and as I approach the guy the caretaker freaks out

                              Caretaker: DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!!

                              Mr.S: excuse me?

                              CT: YOU DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR HIM, i WILL DEAL WITH HIM!!

                              Mr.S: um...ok

                              CT: YOU ARE NEVER TO TOUCH OR APPROCH ANYBODY PASSED OUT HERE, IF YOU FIND SOMEONE PASSED OUT YOU CALL ME AND I'LL DEAL WITH IT!!!

                              Mr.S: Well it is my job and it's why i'm here

                              CT: NO!. IF I FIND OUT YOU OR ANY OThER SECURITY APPROACHED SOMEONE PASSED YOU WILL BE KICKED FROM THE SITE!!!

                              Mr.S: Ok...what ever you want


                              The funniest part is that he got fired a few months later because he wasn't doing his caretaking duties
