Office Pranks, Office Humor, and Office Stories - One Crazy Office

This happened way back in April of 2007. On the site we have what you call a command center. This is where all the monitors are located for the cameras around the site. And they also made it a rule that you can not leave that post unattended for any reason. If you have to go to the restroom then you have to call another guard to come and relieve you. It is a bit crazy I know, but you have to listen to the client, and that's what they wanted.

Now think if you had to work the night shift so your already tired and your just watching the most boring thing on these monitors. Nothing absolutely nothing went on. Every now and then you would see a guard doing their rounds.

Well at the time we had a night supervisor who ruled the night with an iron fist. But he was also the type of person that you have to do what he says, not what he does. Which is the most infuriating type of person for me to deal with. And I never really had to deal with him.

Well this on night in April there was this guard working the command center. The supervisor walked in and saw him with his eyes closed. So he of course blew up on him for sleeping and also sleeping in the most important post on the site. And they gave him a write up for it.
