Quoth fireheart17 View Postwe call it Daylight Savings Time....
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostStandard 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...
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostThen 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.

Quoth Gravekeeper View Post4:37am:
I advise security. Security advises me they do not take security calls.
4:38-4:40am:
Several minutes are required to process and recover from a fit of "What the fuck?".
Read this part of the post
02:08:
Still trying to wrap my brain as to why these wastes of food and oxygen are on the payroll of they do not do the job that is in their implied job description of a name.
02:10:
Rebooted my brain to see of a fresh load of the OS would allow me to understand this.
02:11:
Nope, this is still striking me as if a firefighter informed you that they do not take fire fighting calls.
02:12:
Giving it up before my brain leaps out of my left ear and starts running around in circles and yelping like a puppy that got his tail caught under Grandmother's rocking chair.I never lost my faith in humanity. Can't lose what you never had right?

Quoth Gravekeeper View PostHonestly, the police probably would have poured it out on the curb. So I fear it's end was tragic.
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostWhich 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.
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostYou are an evil man. But this is why I like you.
Quoth Gravekeeper View PostSo I'd been in the office over 10 hours by the time I got out of there.
Ironically, I love my job. Go figger.

Quoth Jester View PostI 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?
Quoth Jester View PostWelcome 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.
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. -.-

Quoth Gravekeeper View PostThese guys won't even call 911. What they apparently do is sit around in case they need to call a plumber.
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?

Quoth Jester View PostWith 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.
Quoth RaveniDid 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?

Quoth Gravekeeper View PostIT BURNS
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.
The End Of Days Is Upon Us
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.”
Hot Tips
SC: “You know Prince Charles is the Anti-Christ so what you need to do is make Sarah Palin the head of the CIA and the FBI. America needs more people like her.”
.....Okay. Um. Are you sure you're not the Anti-Christ? Because I can easily see your suggestion leading to the world teetering on the brink of Armageddon should that particular job appointment ever come to pass.DO NOT WANT.
( Fuck you, Daylight Savings >.> )

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
