I unlocked the office door this morning and the alarm started chirping. Thankfully I didn’t curse which would be my normal reaction since I thought someone was already here and the alarm should be disabled already. My co-worker was standing right there at the alarm. The alarm had been going off for about 20 minutes. She’d been stuck at the panel trying to turn it off and had already talked to the alarm company several times. Of course, when I came in, I tripped the alarm again. Good Morning Neighbors! Hope you weren’t trying to sleep late. No wonder your rent is so cheap you’re next door to the people who have problems with their alarm.
Campus police showed up and the officer walked around with me while I opened and re-locked all the back doors–we have 3 of them. We concluded there is a ghost in the wiring and the officer left. Although when I mentioned I didn’t want to walk down in the basement (no door down there anyway), the officer didn’t say he’d go down there with me. He wished us a good day and left. So far, no boogeymen.
