I know but it's good for people like me who have no marketable skills and only exist to sustain the economy until I wither away in some apartment some where. Just let me enjoy this.

I did when I was in college and it hella owned, got to bring my laptop and everything so I could just write all my papers while on the clock.

That is some sweetass $11/hr

It's more fun to work somewhere things do happen.

I actually exist to report people who make ruckus after 10 to the landlady and sometimes call the police on them. I don't think anyone is going to shoot me in the head over apartments.

It's better than retail where you have to deal with management with unmedicated mental health issues.

It is so much loving better than retail. It pays more and there isn't someone always there to dehumanize you.

I don't currently work in security but I have before and it's a good gig. When I did overnight at this one place I managed to read Poe's completed works over the course of like three nights. Didn't look up from the book, didn't do my rounds at all, got in zero trouble for doing so. Ultimately this habit did backfire which is why I don't have that job anymore.

It's actually not. If someone flashes a gun or something I'm supposed to run the gently caress away and call 911.

Security never makes me feel safe. Its usually some chubby guy, a lesbian who is 5'2, or some micro machine bald roid rage dude with glasses.

Its even worse when theyre armed. I guarantee most of the security people have never been trained on weapon retention.

Bank security is usually a bit better.

And, whats up with the golf carts?!
