scared..

yesterday while at work we had a deranged sorta drugged out crazy person that walked into our office with a walking stick/cane sorta weapon. The top third of that stick was all metal.. As we are trying to figure out what he wants he just picks up things and looks and them and takes them. While my coworker and I are just trying to talk to him, my other coworker calls 911. During this time, he is slaming the stick on the table to pick up something else. Well my boss is trying to show him things he's picking up. She usually if we have unwanted visitors asks them to leave. But this time we both felt threatened. So we tried to talk to him long enough for the cops to come. We also are trying to talk toward the door. He's taken a few things from the office already. He asks for the time and my coworker tells him. Well he wants to see the watch. So my coworker holds it up and the guy is trying to literally take if off his arm. Hardly anyone heard this guy. One lazy nasty coworker just walked by and didn't even stop to see what was going on. I mean come on. Finally I get my male bosses attention and he comes over. We get him toward the door and on his way out he's grabbing some other stuff. then he put it down and was walking out and almost broke our front door with the stick. He put a nice big scratch in the window with that thing. All this time.. was like 15 minutes and the cops didn't show up. We saw him going from business to business and tried to even get in a house. I was afraid that he was going to swing that stick and hit one of us right in the head. He could have easily killed one of us. The cops didn't show up until he was long gone from our sight. I was literally shaking because I didnt' know what to do about the guy. Anyway.. they didn't find the guy. But the cop did tell me that they had gotten a few phone calls and one where he threatened to kill someone. geez louise.Anyway.. if you were to see how our office is situation, you'd see that if my bosses are not here (which most of the time they are not) then I'm pretty much alone and unheard from the back. We don't have panic buttons.. no buzzers.. no automatic locks. We've had other mental people come in here but never felt threatened like this before. I've mentioned about automatic locks and pretty much get shot down. They are finally thinking about getting a buzzer. Not sure how much that will work as they can't even answer the flippin phone when they know that I'm busy or whatever. Our office is downtown Albuquerque.. we sit between a HIV/Inmate/etc. counseling center. They come in here ALL the time mistaking our building for the center. On the other side of our building is a inmate halfway house, where police have been called to numerous times. I just feel unsafe especially after yesterday. Before yesterday.. I was careful because there are questionable characters.. BUT now it's different.So.. here is my thing.. I have a small 25 that I can carry in my purse. I of course would need to get a license to carry a concealed weapon. I feel that my bosses are not doing enough. But then maybe it's just still to early where I'm still feeling an edge.
