a little rest

yeah, after the alarms finally settled down, i napped... i woke to the sound of alarms as the, well, i'll just cut and paste what i wrote to the manager...

Early Saturday morning before the office opened we had an issue with the alarm and had to pull the wires out of the box to turn it off as it woke neighbors. Pressing Function 5 did not work, neither did pressing Function 1234 as detailed in the move-in paperwork. It started with a frequent short beep repeating throughout the night, the sound a smoke alarm makes when the battery is low. A neighbor said there was a power failure, so that might have triggered the beeps. As the beeps woke Jackson, she tried pressing function 5 to no avail and she went back to sleep, or tried to.

In the morning about 9am, a steady siren started when she opened the front door. The alarm itself started blaring about a minute or two later and nothing we pressed stopped it, so after about five minutes of blaring alarm or so with neighbors coming out to see what was going on, I finally just pulled out the wires from the speaker box itself. Later in the day when we opened the patio door, the loud siren started again. At that time pressing Function 5 off seemed to have worked. Currently, the alarm panel is flashing armed for zone 1 and 2, however there are no noises. I hope there will be no further disturbances this weekend.

yeah, so anyway, i didn't sleep late and the various beeping kept me from sliding into the impromptu afternoon nap i had pencilled in for today... but somewhere around 6pm i finally did slide into a nap for a few hours... not extra sleep, just completing the sleeping in that should have happened this morning... tomorrow is an early start full softball day, so maybe i'll get to sleep in next weekend... if the body lasts that long...

wasn't i talking about taking some time off this month?...
