For those of you who don't know, in the summer I fix computers for Garden City Public Schools, with a friend of mine.

So, today we were in the high school. We're about to leave for the day. As we exit the computer lab we were in, we hear an odd beeping sound. Looking up, we see that the motion sensor in the hall is flashing.

Scott: "Fuck! Alarm!"

Out come the cell phones, trying to call our bosses who have the codes. Mine: "All circuits are busy now. Please try again later."

HULK SMASH GRR ARGH.

My friend gets through, though, and we disarm the alarm. As we're about to rearm it and head out the nearest exit, our boss says "Oh, those doors are probably instant," meaning that the doors will probably set the alarm off, even if you're still in the "grace period" you have between setting the alarm and it activating.

Me: "What [IDIOT] decided to instant the doors RIGHT NEXT TO THE ALARM PANEL?"

Well, obviously, we made it out without bringing the cops down on us. Or, at least, we left before they showed up. :)

I can't quite explain why, but there's something kinda empowering about returning to a high school a year after graduating... and walking around carrying a master key for the building. :D

I just need to get the alarm codes from my boss—which I'll get the next time I work on a weekend.
