Julian is a maintenance specialist for large magnetic tape libraries in PC systems. This is a type of device that has multiple readers and contains many magnetic tapes at the same time, which is intended for backup and backup data.

These magnetic tape libraries are so large that they are often a shared resource for many people. In particular, Julian is often assigned important tasks related to both maintenance and repair.

This work is usually done at the police station because the local police will oversee every process as prescribed. Julian will come here and spend 9 hours a day repairing broken magnetic tape libraries on PC systems, then restoring them to their original working state.

“Where are you going now?” one officer asked Julian as he finished his day’s work and packed his belongings. Julian explained that he would go back to the warehouse to get more spare parts. “How long did it take you to drive?” the officer asked.

In response, Julian said the warehouse is only about an hour’s drive from the police station. But if you add the time to get home, the total travel time will be longer.

“You won’t be able to do that. Instead, go straight to the cell for me,” the officer shouted.

As it turned out, the reason Julian was detained was because he had worked more hours than allowed and was said to be too tired to go home safely. As a result, the police officer complied with the regulations to “detain” Julian. Even if this meant that Julian had to spend a night in his cell.

Speaking to the Register, Julian said he didn’t mind sleeping in prison. The policeman had picked up the phone, so the boss couldn’t send him to another job.
