Beepers

I can't seem to get away from jobs that require me to use a beeper. In my first social work job, I was on call 24/7 and required to carry a beeper at all times. I don't even think doctors carry beepers anymore.

In my new job at O'Leary International Airport, we have an office beeper to keep us updated on airport emergencies. The following beeper story unfolded dramatically during my 10 hour shift today. It was even more compelling because I could smell the offensive odor all while watching the fire department wander around with their axes trying to figure out where it was coming from. Enjoy:
