whoops!

so yeah. i was at work today, and to anyone who doesnt know, i install doors and door hardware. wood and steel doors, steel frames.

well...i had to cut in something into a frame and a college here in town. so i mark up what i need to cut out, drill a couple holes, and realize that i need to cover the smoke alarms so i dont set them off. usually the places i go to have covers for me to use. but this place didnt. so i had to use a rubber glove. well.....when you stretch a rubber glove sometimes it snaps. and sometimes your not ready for it. i hit my hand on the smoke alarm and set it off.

not just one smoke alarm mind you. all of them. in both the connected buildings. and the one next to it. so i had about 200 pissed off college kids across the street from me, pissed off because they were in their dorms. not class. and i didnt know what to do, i called the guy ive been dealing with about 4 times. didnt answer. called 911 and had them tell the firefighters that it was a false alarm. so only one fire truck showed up. and one cop. but thats ok. i didnt need anymore to feel like a complete jackass.

my only thing i can cling to is, everyone who is in this line of work has done this. so i guess i broke my cherry!

still sucks.
