Made the night with out the alarm system, everything is in tact this morning. It’s just odd not to have to turn the system off or hearing the chime when I open a door. I do not have high hopes that the replacement backup battery will remedy the situation but when it arrives I will install it and power the system backup. If it works great I can cancel the service call. If it doesn’t work then I will leave it hooked up and see if it magically comes to life. I’ve pretty well decided that I am willing to throw some money at it to bring it back to life but I don’t want to spend a small fortune.
The alarm industry preys on your fear and insecurity. Having the alarm won’t stop a burglary or determined thief, you’ll just get notified that it’s happening and help will be on the way. Knowing all this I still like the comfort feeling it gives me. Might be a false sense of security but it’s something I’ve grown used to.
Slept actually pretty good. I don’t feel super refreshed but it was nice to not have an insomnia attack. Just need to make it through today and then work is pretty much done. I’m still on-call but the likely hood that something will come up will be slim. I will have some testing to do come Sunday morning. Vacation officially starts for me on Monday.
Then when I come back I will only have to work 4 days because we will be celebrating Independence Day so that will be a short week. Then the following week I only have to work 3 days because I scheduled time off to see the doctor. It will be nice break but sadly it will all play out way too fast. Here’s hoping that I am happier as this time goes by.
It’s kind of like I told a colleague if my personal life was more like my professional life I would have way less stress and troubles. Once again I hope for a great day for all of us. Take care!
