Wild. I'd love a follow-up on this one.
Apparently the guy was running late and told the previous shift to go ahead and go home. That left nobody on the property for a time.

Well that's good. Underwhelming, but good.
thats like last winter when i got a call from adt at 2:30 in the morning last January. Someone broke into my old offices and I was the old head of operations. Apparently my former employer never changed the contact list. I didnt know who replaced me as the company was going under when i left. felt bad for the adt guy, he had called everyone on the list and every employee on file was resigned and i was the last hope. I never did hear what happened with it.

Gonna try blogging more this year, starting with bringing back Top 10 Tuesdays. I posted this last night but was too tired to share it around elsewhere. Anyway, it's my 10 Reasons Why I Love DDP Yoga.

I have none. I don't keep pictures of myself.
Story of my life.
Being the ADT guy, that is. The amount of times I've heard "oh, I quit 5 years ago", "oh, but my husband's been dead for 3 years", "I've been retired for years", "I don't work there anymore" and even "that company doesn't exist anymore" is ridiculous. Nobody ever bothers to pass on updated contact information to security/alarm companies. Perhaps if they let someone go for stealing from work, but even so - I remember letting a guard give access to someone who was on file as security manager, only to have it turn out the guy'd been fired months before for fraud. Whoops.
to you being the security officer, I am sorry, when I left my last company i did everything to make sure i had corrected everything where my name and number was a contact. I sent the correct paperwork to all the right people, but i figure as the company was in dire straights it was promptly trash canned. I did give the guy the contact info of one of my direct subordinates that I knew still worked for the company, but yeah major cluster fuck, dude had tried 15 people.

I've lived in Colorado, I've lived in Texas, and I've lived a few other places. I've also been on the internet a time or two. It's always funny to me how different people living different places react to different temperatures. Described in Fahrenheit, of course. The superior way to measure human comfort.
For your average American,

50 degrees is chilly
40 degrees is cold
30 degrees is freezing
20 degrees is below freezing
10 degrees is cold as hell
0 degrees is deadly cold

For your average Texan,
120 degrees is time to stay indoors with the AC cranked up

90 degrees is warm
80 degrees is pleasant

-10 degrees is when you decide maybe it's time to move. But just to slightly lower elevation/more south or east, not actually out of the state, because let's face it, there's nowhere else worth living than Colorado.

More of a thing that happened randomly during a crap, but...
Just now, I was in the bathroom of my workplace, sitting there in a stall and doing my thing. I hear two sets of footsteps walk into the bathroom. I heard someone turn on a sink and leave it on. "Oh," I figured, "someone's come in to wash their hands."
I then heard sounds that were very much not related to washing hands.
I was actually done with my business at this point, but I didn't dare leave the stall. So I sort of shifted around a bit so that I made some noises.
The sounds stopped. The sink was turned off. The two steps of footsteps left. I wiped, pulled my trousers up, left the stall. No one in the bathroom but me.
I will never know who those people were.

I'd have thought the bhamv-thing to do would be to surreptitiously watch the goings on.
Sadly, not a single woman works in his office.
Yeah, not any more.

It's completely my fault. He has so much potential and I'm just a big dumb asshole.
I try to give him commands now and he just stares at me because he knows that I'm the idiot. I did not do what he needed from me and I hate that. I don't deserve him.
He's ok and I'm ok but I know I should have done better...he deserves better than me.

I think that's an unfortunate error of grammar in the title of the item. It is white, and the branding style is pride. There's a beanie in their catalog that is a "Light Blue/Navy Pride" beanie.
Wow, there are several hats with that name. I assumed that it was a Pride Slouch Hat that was White. But no the Yellow ones are called Yellow Basic Slouch Hat.
