Helping An Old Lady

I had a bit of a run in with the police at work yesterday; I’m a security guard by trade.  We had an old lady collapse outside our reception and as I was the only one with any medical experience I was called out to help the old lady.

I never knew anything about it until they sounded the alarm.  I was actually having lunch at the time and before I knew it I was downstairs doing CPR on a lady that actually looked a little bit like my wife.

She eventually came round but only after the police and the ambulance had arrived.  I tell you there is never a dull moment when you are a security guard.  Well sometimes there are but when the dull moments happen I just have a nap.

I phoned the police later to check up the lady, gladly she made a full recovery and she even passed on her thanks to me.  I was quite happy you could say.

I had another shock to the system yesterday as one of my grandchildren who reads this website told me that after reading my stories he wants to become a security guard too!

I tried to downplay my job by telling him that’s its all about fixing fridges and repairing broken alarm systems but that never stopped him, he still wants to be like his granddad.

It’s funny how the fact I was asked to do this website has allowed me to communicate with people in my family in ways I didn’t think possible.  I had my doubts about this website but knowing that my grand kids are reading is reason enough to keep this going.

Anyway I have a busy night ahead; I am going to a local DIY store to have a look at some of their security devices.  As you may have read I am deciding on getting a new alarm because my old one is beginning to show wear and tear.

Take care

John
