Yesterday, we had a run in with the police. Second one in a month, impressive, no?
At 6.15pm, upon leaving the office in Richardson in which we work, we realised we were the last two people left in the building and that we had set off the alarm coming out the front door. We tried ringing our employer and there was no answer. Lo and behold, what comes speeding up the road only a Richardson Police Force squad car. Great. The copper was actually nice, but intimidating in an extreme way. He asked to see some I.D. Greg had none on him, David (who had come to give us a lift home) had none and I had my Irish drivers license. Which could not be further from a US drivers license in appearance. It looks kind of dodgy, two Irish youngsters with not a visa in sight accompanied by another Irish man with no drivers license or any other I.D. Very sort of illegal Irish alert. Anyway, he accepted my driver’s license and my Garda ID together, and took David’s details. And processed them. And told David that there was a warrant out for his arrest in Dallas for building citations. He could have been taken downtown, but it sort of got straightened out.
This all happened because David was 15 mins late collecting us from work. Serves him right.
