I seem to have quite a bit more of a Gryffindor in me than I thought.

So I'm just sitting at my desk, bored, when suddenly I hear something in the meeting room, and I see someone I'm quite sure is not one of my coworkers. I rush into the MR, and what do I see but two guys (I'm quite sure they were younger than I, actually) packing up our data projector, calm and easy.

So I run after them (stupidly not even thinking to yell for help), manage to get myself between the one with the projector and the emergency exit, and slowing him down long enough that he got seperated from his mate. He gets past me, but I grab hold of his jacket while he's on the stairs, and get the projector to my head as a reward.

Result: got the projector back, working and everything, a bump to the head, scrape on my arm and elbow, and a nice bruised and cut knee. Ow.

Note to self: Stop being a hero, bitch. Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor.

You're Batman!

But, you know. Don't DO THAT! You could've gotten killed! Thieves and all. Good thing you kicked ass, but still. Geez.

At least get yourself a little Robin on the side.

Batgirl, surely? :D

And yeah, I realised right after that really, I should've at least yelled to my coworkers for help, seen as how two of them are tall, muscled men and I'm a weak, non-impressive girlie girl, but that didn't occur to be until I'd been actually hit on the head with a piece of hardware. Ow.

Hm, get myself a Robin. not a bad idea. Should take out an ad. :)

Dude, I once chased a beer shoplifter clear through the store parking lot at 3am once. And this is when I was the only cashier on overnights. Only three months after I was robbed at gunpoint at my other job.

My mother is right, I don't have enough sense to be scared.

Re:


Yep. I'm a Gryffindor, all right. Rush blindly into danger. (But I didn't see any danger, I just saw two brats of my brother's age, having the audacity to just walk into the office and take a valuable piece of equipment, calm as that.)

Yes, but brats are often badasses, too. Ya gotta watch the little ones :)

But still, go you, kicking ass :) *pet*

Re:


I wouldn't say grabbing on to a jacket and consequentially getting hit in the head with a piece of hardware and thrown into a wall counts as "kicking ass", myself. :)

*purr*

(And dude, they were little. Like, barely an inch taller than I!)

Eh. Batgirl never really impressed me. But whatever floats your boat. :)

How Gryffindor of you, indeed! Brave and fearless, if not quite the wisest thing to do. I'm glad you're ok, and that you heroically foiled their robbery attempt, but next time maybe you can at least holler out for coworkers AS you go racing to the rescue, so they can feel good about helping too.

Re:


I did kind of think I ought to call my coworker, but by that time we were past his office and I didn't think he'd be in time anymore anyway. I think weird when I'm under pressure, man.

I think adrenaline messes with one's head and thought processes - it's completely understandable. YOu were busy taking action, and who has time to think things through calmly in the heat of action?

Eee. I'm glad you didn't get seriously hurt. But think how you've improved your kickass scary rep with your coworkers? Those projectors are expensive, yo.

Re:


"Scary" isn't the word. "Stupid" is more like it. And yeah, they're expensive, but we've got insurance, yo. But yes, expensive as shit. Just the bulbs cost about €100-200, so.

Glad you weren't harmed. Very Gryffindor of you indeed. "Trouble?! I must now rush into it head first with no thought for my own well-being! Screw planning and forethought!"

And yeah with the pimpage of Sony. I constantly drop my discman. (Cause Kristine=klutz) I'll have had it for two years this December, and the only thing wrong with it is a slightly loose cover.

Hee! It was more a case of "Oh, no you don't!" I was more pissed off than anything else.
