Day 51

Today I was attacked by a group of teenagers who broke onto the site, (through the large opened gate, whoops) scared the fuck out of me when opening the door to my security hut and then pelting me with snowballs!

As I started chasing them I noticed about 10 more of the wee bastards at the gate ready and I was pelted with even more frosty love! They got me a few crackers right in the gob, knocking off my glasses at one point aswell. I tried to chase them back out, to get the gate locked, but several of them used their weight to prevent me from closing it. As I was on my own, there was pretty much fuck all I could do. I tried shouting at them, but eventually I just retreated to my security hut, locked the door and phoned the police.

Eventually the group (made up of about 15 or so little employees of Satan) just gave up and left. A few minutes after that I locked the gate. I then phoned the police back to earnestly tell them not to bother coming afterall.

Obviously it was the humiliation of the situation that stung the most, but I was most concerned about the fact that if they had been smart, or inclined, having seen that I was completely helpless on my own, they could have easily broke onto the site and done whatever they wanted. Causing damage to staff vehicles nearby and all the other property here.

Had they decided to split apart and run riot about the place, I would have been royally fucked! There was no way I would have been able to catch them all or chase them about the place.

It was kinda funny though. Had I been watching the whole ordeal from another perspective I would have found it all pretty hilarious actually.

The reason I didn't see them coming through the gate though is because the design of this hut is like a green house. There are many large windows, which means throughout the day, I was being blinded as the sun moved across the sky. There are no window shades or tinting, so to sit here all day in the one spot is to basically become a human pot plant absorbing all the lovely UV rays while your retinas are fried in the process.

To combat this, instead of blinds or tints on the windows, there are other chairs strategically placed around the room that I assume I am meant to move onto depending on the time of day and position of the sun! Yea, it's funny because it's true. *sigh*

So obviously I was sitting in a position to avoid the sun at the time these wee shites broke in. Well I say "broke in" what I really mean is "walk casually onto the site without being presented with the slightest challenge".

On the plus side, I actually have something to talk about to the other security guard when he arrives at 7pm to let me go.
