Goose Baxter Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 What does everyone do when they are on kickback in the middle of the morning? I am an alarm engineer who sits in the office all night alone waiting for the phone to go and spend my nights playing football manager and on this. Are many people working or they just up really late in the night/morning? What do you all do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are many people working or they just up really late in the night/morning? What do you all do? I'm a general layabout who occasionally works evenings. I don't normally get out of bed 'til late morning and as a result I sit on the net and, like yourself, play FM through the night. It's a hard life.

Goose Baxter Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 What do you do? Does it not get busy? I am an alarm engineer for all the c.o.e.c schools & community centres. So we work when the school's are closed and when the alarm goes of at the school/co centre we have to attend to resolve the problem. See if it needs fix or if the school has been broken into. We are night time key holders for all these sights. So if the alarms are not going off i have no jobs and if a lot go off then i am busy. But its office based, hense all the fm08 and jkb!! And i only work 3 days a week as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a wee bit nervy turning up at a school in the middle of the night not knowing if its a fault or some junkies that have broken into the place.

It can be especially with all the noises that you hear when it is just you in the school but if it has been broken into by the time i get there (based in livy) the junkies have left and if there is a sign of a break in you just phone the filth. It can be a good job as i seen queensferry high go on fire the other week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
