UPDATE: H is fine. My memory, not so much.

H works in a prison as a corrections officer. He was supposed to get out at 5 and I haven't heard from him. I'm starting to get nervous. Usually he texts me as soon as he gets to his car so that should have been by about 5:20. If he gets stuck working late he always calls to let me know. He can't have his cell inside though, he leaves it in the car- he would call from the jail. Unless I guess if something went wrong, a fight or riot or if God forbid he were hurt.

If I need to call him at work it's kind of a project and we are only supposed to call for emergencies. So would you call or would you just try to hold out a little longer?

I'm half asking to keep busy on here and pass the time. I just don't want to be calling there and it's nothing but this is pretty unusual.

What time is it where you live? Could he be out doing x-mas shopping?

littlestjerry · December 2014

Have you tried his cell?

acesup · December 2014

It's just about 630 here.

He would tell me if he was going shopping.

Like I said he always lets me know he is at his car when he gets out -- kind of like letting me know he is safe almost I guess. Bc of the environment. Idk.

Not sure if I'm overthinking it. It's just not like him. I always get an "on my way" text.

I've also sent him a few texts "are you out yet? Getting worried" and no response so I know he must still be at the jail. I'm just afraid something appended because if they kept him much longer than 5 he would've called to tell me. Which is why I'm getting nervous that there was a fight or an injury or something ...

Can you call the jails main number and simply explain you are the wife of an officer who hasn't come home yet and you'd like to know if there were any issues?

littlestjerry · December 2014

I don't think it's crazy to call the facility. Just "hey my H appears to be running very late, I'm worried, is everything good and is he still there?"

I'm calling now...

acesup · December 2014

I called the main number. The guy working center control didn't know he was there (it's not his normal shift) so he isn't sure what part of the jail he is working but is going to call around to find him and have him call me.

Well, and I guess if it's bad news someone else will call me.

Good luck. I'm sure it's nothing.

littlestjerry · December 2014

Every time I worry about DH with stuff like this, it ends up being nothing so I'm sure everything is just fine. I hope he calls you soon!!!

OMG I feel like such an asshole. Like a giant asshole.

He is working til 10 and he called me to tell me that hours ago and I somehow completely forgot that he called.

He normally works until 2 and first called to say he was working until 5. An hour or so later he called again to tell me he was working until 10 but somehow I completely forgot that call and only remembered 5pm.

I cannot even believe that I just did that. And made a big deal here and called there and was worried to the point of hysterics when he called and I heard his voice that he was ok.

Wow. Just wow. I'm really sorry everyone.

I feel like a giant butthole. A forgetful butthole at that.

I remember getting the call now- and I was in the middle of something at work so we didn't talk long and I must've just let it slip my mind.

Crazy.

Perhaps my fangirling Larry has gone too far that I am now forgetting pertinent information in my daily life. Thank God it was nothing serious to do with the kids that I forgot!

I'm such a shit
