This is one on my favorite stories. I again wasn't here for it, but I heard about it from two people and read the write ups and incident reports about it. It all happened again in the command center. The post that always has to be manned and all you have to look at are 3 monitors that show all the cameras on site, of nothing happening.
Well there was this one guy who worked it pretty regularly. But he also had the reputation of falling asleep a lot in there, but he had never been caught. Well this time he did, and it ended up being one of the funniest things in the world. And he did not get fired for it either. In fact I think he got moved to 2nd shift soon after this happened.
It all started when one of the guards was going to the command center to give the guy a break. So he could stretch his legs, get something to eat, anything like that before he would be tied down again for another few hours. Well as soon as he walked in the door he found the guy sawing some serious logs. The guy was OUT. So the awake guard leaves and calls the supervisor over to show him, because he didn't know what to do. Apparently he never has heard of cover for me.
So the supervisor walks in there and starts trying to wake him up. He says his name once, twice, three times. The guy is still not stirring. And what happens next everyone swears happened. The supervisor starts yelling his name right in his ear and this dude is still out. He's not playing around, but he is really out of it. They had no idea what to do. If I was there I would of said pour water on him.
The supervisor gets real mad and starts to slap the dude. The guy instantly wakes up and wonders what the hell is going on. They told me to think of someone sleeping really hard and then start banging pots around and watch them freak out. That is what this guy did. So imagine if you will this big burly supervisor type person just slapping this guard back and forth not knowing what the hell is going on and on top of that he is still half asleep.
