it could be worse.
I work for a company that makes ... pagers. We also have a neighbor that is semi-upstairs (when we moved in, the building had already partitioned a part of the facility into something like an executive office suite, but the access is not in our office, but in a different part of the overall building.)
They are present at different times than us. But at night, it gets creepy. So you can imagine that anyone sitting alone in the office late at night, when you hear banging sounds or someone walking around, but there's nothing you can do about it.
But like I said, we also make devices ourselves. When some pagers go off in the production area, and you aren't expecting it, it can be a little disturbing.
I've been working here for a long time now, so I'm somewhat accustomed to the noises. Over the last 1.5 years, our customer service team started having a few folks working nites and weekends. Your first weekend or 2 doing it is consistently nerve racking, and spooky.
The scariest for me though, are the times it truly sounds like someone else is walking around.
The other "office" is at the front of our building. So you can tell which way those sounds come from when you hear something.
But how do you feel when it sounds like footsteps and doors opening from the BACK of the office?
Sure it could be the cleaning crew, but they are in and out at set times. Rarely if ever late on a weekend nite.
Even I've dreaded the sound of steps in the back after 7 PM while running a test or something.
Why do people think I'm crazier than a room full of foxes in a psychiatric ward? Do they ever stop to think
how
the foxes got in there in the first place?
Why ask a question you
think
you want the answer to, yet
know
you will regret knowing?
