Darned Alarm System!
Yesterday morning around 10AM my alarm system started wailing. I got up
and entered the code to silence it. Meanwhile, I got a call from the gate (SOP), is everything okay? Yes, everything is fine. Well, it seems the system was still sending a trouble signal to the console so they sent someone over to take a look and reset it. It took him about 10 minutes to get it to reset properly. The thing is, Persia *knows* if that alarm goes off and the phone rings immmediately, there will be a knock at the door. A friend discribed it as 'The Beverly Hillbillies' syndrome... every time they heard that mysterious "purty music", aka the doorbell, someone would be knocking on the door. LOL Anyway, around 3:30AM Persia and I were sound asleep when the alarm went off again. I got up and punched in the code. The phone rang. As I was telling the guy there's no fire, no one is hurt, it started wailing again. Oh come on! I said I don't know what's going on, it did this yesterday morning, too. As I was saying that it went off yet again. Grrrr. He said I'm sending someone over to disconnect it so you can get some sleep. Thank you! Meanwhile, Persia knew someone would be coming over. So she went and hid in "her" room. He disconnected the alarm, although he said he really didn't like doing it. Too bad. I have enough trouble sleeping without getting up every time that thing decides to start whooping on a whim. They'll file a report and have the alarm system guys come out to take a look. As I was drifting off to sleep again, Persia rejoined me on the bed. But she remained in alert mode, just waiting for the loud whoop of the alarm, the phone ringing and that knock on the door again... Jill |
