Today is September 26th, and the end of the month is approaching. During weekdays, I work a job unrelated to pearls, and since the end of the month is near, I’ve been busy preparing for inventory, which kept me late at work today. My workplace shares the building with about three other companies. As I was leaving the office and stepped into the hallway, the alarm went off, and soon after, a police car and a SECOM security officer arrived. It seems everyone had already gone home without my knowing, so I ended up troubling the police and security.
This reminds me of an incident when I was working at a pearl company. I had stayed late and ended up falling asleep on the sofa in the company’s reception room. At around 3 AM, I was woken up by a bright light shining on me and someone yelling, “Show me your license!” SECOM had been activated, and the police had mistaken me for a burglar.
I’ll have to be more careful with SECOM from now on.
