To show that duty time can be wacky, confusing, dangerous and oddly fun, I'm gonna share with you three of my duty stories. The duty stories will be separated into three different blogs. Let's get started then!
This story takes place in April of last year. After a bad breakup with a boyfriend, I had a lot of free time on my hand so I would accompany the duty CAs on their walks. It can never hurt having more CAs with you and they didn't mind. I was walking with two co-workers and we passed a room with festive look. It was a girl's birthday that day and she decided to celebrate. With alcohol. My two coworkers were in front of me and didn't see the open door with the bottle of open vodka on the student's desk. But I did. And so did the resident. As soon as she saw me observe her and her drink of choice, she sprang up and slammed the door on me. Myself and my coworkers were not deterred.
I told the duty CAs what I saw and we knocked on her door, and one of us started to take down notes to but in the report that we had to file. The resident didn't answer the door. So we knocked again. No answer. The doors at my old placement on campus has vents so you can look and hear what's going on in the hall. We decided to use this to our advantage and say to each other, very loudly, that we would call the police if she wasn't going to answer the door. We knocked one more time but the resident in the room didn't change her mind and didn't answer the door. We called ASU PD and they knocked on the door. She answered for them. After the police officer asked some questions and had her and her male friend in the room pour out the alcohol, she was arrested and escorted to his car out front. She was cited for minor in composition and minor in possession of alcohol. She was released after a little while.
If the resident had answered the door for us, we would have wrote her and her friend up for the alcohol, made her dump it out and that was it. But residents tend to make it hard for themselves and not do what they are told.
