Complete freakiness

OK, so I get called to the front of the store yesterday about a contractor that’s supposed to be removing something. This is weird since we weren’t expecting anyone, and we have no projects underway or scheduled.

So I get up there, and the guy has a work order to remove the fire suppression system over my fryers because it was disconnected three years ago and no longer in use. Oh. My. God. In light of my recent post I have a bit of a freak out, tell the guy no he can not remove my fire suppression system and he can leave. Now. Right now, while I’m watching him. So I talk to our in-house security guy, to see what he thinks we need to do.

He freaks out. Yay.

He calls the Facility Manager, who is off, and gets a 1-800-WTF? number for the corporate office which I promptly call.

They freak out. Yay.

They confirm which store I’m at and say they’ll get back to me. About two minutes later I’m on a conference call with the corporate WTF? office and the corporate office for the company that inspects all our fire extinguishers nationwide. They assure us that the system was inspected last month (though the latest inspection tag is dated 3/2010) but they will send an inspector out again just to make sure.

Oh. My. God.

Can I have a new life for Christmas? Or maybe the number for that truck driving school we saw on TV?
