I like to get to school early while its quiet and peaceful. I am one of a few teachers who come in early. I am the only early teacher who has a key to the back door since that is near my classroom. I pulled into the parking lot last week and I could see from the parking lot that the school looked pretty dark. Our custodian is the BEST. He is hard working and very responsible. He is always there. As I walked to the door I was contemplating why it would be dark in the building, but my logical side remembered the previous day that the lights were going off and on during the day. I could not imagine our custodian not being there. I unlocked the door and as I walked in I heard a humming sound. My thinking was that did not sound like an alarm. As I approached the front door I saw 3 teachers outside who do not have a key. I went out to them. They were laughing, saying we figured you would be the one to sound the alarm. Ten minutes later a policeman arrived. He asked, “Who sounded the alarm?” I put both hands up and said it was me. He asked for my badge and ran it through the system and gave it back to me. A bit embarrassing. A short time later the custodian showed up. He had overslept and hit traffic. He said as soon as he passed the police station he thought, I bet Meg triggered the alarm. Sure enough he was right. We exchanged phone numbers so that won’t happen again.
