How a Robbery Changed My Life: After a Robbery, You'll Never Feel the Same Again

August 29, 2004 turned out to be one of the worst nights of my life. For the past two weeks I had dreaded going to my job, but had no real reason to quit my job as a night auditor. After all, the money was decent, the hours were okay, and I only had to work 3 days a week. None of that changed the way I felt though. Regardless, I went to work at 10 p.m., as usual, and began what I thought would be an average night.

The night started out pretty decent. There was a nice group of people having a pizza party in the lobby and they even gave me some pizza before turning in for the night. At 12 a.m. my work was mostly done for the night, I only had two late check-ins and then all I would need to do would be to setup breakfast at 6 a.m. For anyone who isn't familiar with the job description of a night auditor, a night auditor is basically there to run the reports at the end of the night and answer any calls for pillows, extra blankets, etc. So basically the night auditor's job is a piece of cake.
