The Night Guard

I am so freakin' stoned right now, that I couldn't think of a better time to write shit here.

So I got night guard last night... a routine one. Freakin' unlucky to get it on a Friday night, but I only found out on thursday so I can't make any changes. It was too late. BUT,

It ain't too bad at all. No. It was actually quite ok. No. It's rather fun actually. I guess I was lucky to get on the shift with all the right people. Lemme start from the day. Maybe this'll be a long entry.

The day's work was normal, as usual, with much cinematography and breaks. We did the vid conferencing again, this time thru microwave. Pretty interesting stuff, and now that the once-called-pig ain't so bad after all, I actually don't mind learning the stuff. Somethin' cool about big control boards and satelite dishes and videocams.

After pmt, it was pretty much slack all the way till 6, where I gotta report. Rota was the 'ok bunch. Basically, we slackd around at MT till about 11, when I gotta do somethin which reminds me of the old 'ghost walk'.

Supposed to have another fella on guard, but apparently, he got sent to hotelDB for not checkin his vehicle, and thus, a trooper brkdown. Suay. So i gotta do the rounds alone. Began takin down the details in all the quiet, dark, and never visited places. And the best thing was, I was in the middle of watchin a local production airing on channel 5, "Return to Pontianak".

The show was pretty lame in the depiction of the pontianak, but it still works wonders when you walk alone in deserted corridors. Yep.. had to walk thru the fabled 3rd storey corridor too. Ooo.

After that, around 11.20, I tried to sleep, but I can't coz some sick guy was coughin' non stop, so I went back to mt n' chilled wit' them drivers. Tried bikes, karoke, watchd movies, and played guitar till ard 3 am.

Then....

TurnOut! Somethin' happened, and all them duty officers and the firefighters went out. The damn Public Affairs got to go too.. I wished I was in PAD. They've got a kickass editing suite!! Anyway, later found out that some nut tried to jump from 4th storey. Yeah, big woohah.

Only got to sleep after 4 and woke up at 6, slacked at the guard house, and at 8, I'm out of there.

2 hours of sleep, and heavy slackin' and much 2nd hand smoke has made me very stoned and sleepy now. I think this is pretty much it.
