You think that's bad? Try doing security. Patrol was bad enough - the
drunks are scarier than ghosts when coming at you at 60+ mph the
wrong way on the Interstate - but there is more than enough ghosts
out there to keep you on your toes! There were several buildings that
I avoided whenever possible - I'm sure they were haunted. OK, kevlar
and a gun makes you feel a little better when approaching a drunk
bum... But how is it going to help against a ghost? A Glock can only
do so much.
OT: Hey, I finally got ircd running on my iMac! Compiling Bahamut is
a PITA, and strangely the 1.6 RC3 beta worked and the 1.something
release didn't. Go figure. Now to figure out just why I did all of
this...
The funny part, in a sad kind of way, was that the Data
Center was
supposedly haunted by an unfriendly ghost. Your mind can start to play
tricks on you at two in the morning. Did you just see a shadow dart behind
the far Superdome? Is that a voice that you keep hearing underneath the
noise of the data center? Why is the hair on your neck suddenly standing up?
Why did the broom just fall over? Yes. The grave-yard shift in a haunted
data center was not much fun for me, but at least I couldn't hear the foot
steps of the ghosts creeping up behind me, and that's a good thing.
Otherwise, I would have had to face the morning beauties with bad breath AND
soiled underpants.
