Last place I worked with duress codes had separate duress codes for the alarm and the safe
Either code would trigger the silent alarm (which was the only alarm) and disable the safe, which was on a time lock anyway, so it would do its usual half hour countdown as if preparing to open but never actually open.
In theory, of course, by the time it becomes obvious that the safe isn't opening, help has arrived.

Like if I wanted to do a duress code and not get my people killed, I would just tell them to hold the door open for like 45 seconds. That would trigger a door held alarm and not lead to the shooting bits.
I would be suspicious of anyone just holding open the door for 45 seconds, just chilling, not going inside or anything.
Still easier to explain then why the doors aren't opening at all.
I wish I could talk to my mom about things going on in my life without her losing her shit
sometimes I need to talk about important highly stressful decisions and have literally no outlet

my lease was going to run out Oct 1, I wasn't going to sign it because I'm unemployed, I have a few grand in the bank but who knows how long that will last so I was just going to move in with my mom once the landlord got tired of us being month to month
but my roomate got told my the state they were going to pay all but $200/month of his rent since he's disabled, he told them I lived here too and they're like, oh np
so anyway I sign the new lease, and he sends it to the state
turns out that they actually do care that there are two tenantsand he doesn't qualify if someone else is on the lease, they don't care if someone lives with him, but he needs to be the sole tenant on the lease
can't get landlord to change the lease to have just him on it, landlord thinks it would be committing fraud, landlord won't change it, thinks we're trying to use him to scam the state, landlord won't let us break lease entirely and move out

disables the safe?
Fuck that.
If the duress code doesn't also open the safe before people get nervous, I wouldn't use it. If that makes me an accomplace, Im switching sides and telling them everything. #YOLOSWAG2014, don't take those bags, guys, they have the dye packs in!

lease forbids subletting and the landlord has made it pretty clear that he will put zero effort in trying to rerent it if we break the lease, he's moving to arizona in like 2 months

you'll do just fine mim, don't let these suspicious olds get you all worked up
I just worry about getting fired.
And having medical insurance. Mim needs the birth control so she can get the d.
Nah you'll be fine.
Oh shit I forgot one thing. Find out the length of the contract. This is important. Some contracts if they run out the govt sometimes doesn't renew them, or goes with someone else, so when you are 4 or 5 months away from re-compete, try to find another job, or figure out who is competing for the contract call them up and send them your resume, that way no matter who wins you have a contingency offer.
im printing out the state definitions for " live in caregiver" my nephew is disabled and if I don't live here, somebody would have to come by a few days a week to help him out
according to the definitions I would qualify
he's going to show the landlord and tell him either it's just him on the lease or he's going to move out
which leaves me in a bind and a huge year long rent lease, the landlord can't go after him for rent because he's on disability but he could go after me till the end of time
my nephew believes that when given the option of getting the entire lease worth of rent paid by the state immediately or not getting anything and having to go after an unemployed college student that he'll pick the former
this has me incredibly nervous

Maybe put the apartment up on craigslist anyway? See if people want to check it out this weekend and broker a deal with the slumlord.

Whatever happens the time lock means the safe isn't opening for half an hour regardless
I kind of think that an armed robber is likely to get twitchy long before that

Well, I don't know if it's that kind of contract? I was just told it was permanent full-time. Originally this was a temporary position for 3 months but then it became permanent.
THESE THINGS END?! I just figured because it was immigration it just kept going and going and going..
Don't gossip, get everything in writing when possible (not only to CYA, but also to avoid misunderstandings)
Congratulations you're ready for almost any office job.
so contracts or disagreements or insults in writing? Anything else in writing?
Depends on the job, but the more the better.
Not just big issues (contracts, wages), everyday issues in writing can be very helpful. Its very easy to hear something incorrectly (and also very easy to say something ineptly), misunderstandings in verbal communication are very easy and since there's no record there's no real way to verify anything. This isn't even necessarily a reflection of bad faith or ineptitude, simple phrases like "report" or "client" or "the deadline" or "soon" can easily communicate two completely different things to each person in a conversation.
This will vary by job and office. Sometimes you can do almost everything by e-mail, sometimes you'll be the only person in an entire office who really does any work on a PC. When possible, keep a written record because it is safer and more accurate.
Mim, I actually know about that particular job field because of related stuff
the qualifications are easy to meet in theory - you have to be patient, persistent, and a bit of an organizer because immigrants might give you some shoddy documentation and speak english poorly, which is a hell of a combo to try and work through
also the database's GUI might be shit so be comfortable with menus and shit

Yes government contracts are periodically re-competed. Per FAR the longest a service contract can go is 5 years. If you message me more details I can try to look it up and see how many options are left on the contract, usually the incumbent wins the contract, and there are all sorts of special set asides and such that make things easier.

Job descriptions.
Wage agreements.
Time-off protocols.
Everything in writing. Paperwork covers your butt whenever the blame-game starts when something goes wrong.

ALSO, I need to work on having a commanding and convincing voice. Tired of people questioning me when I need their ID.
you aren't talking about me, are ya skoopy?

I do not think it is cute it looks like boogers oh god
