I've been a security guard for two weeks now and I guess it has given me enough savvy to record impressions. As I said before my profession dujour comes from hard times asking for drastic measures. However been blessed beyond my merits, I've found myself enjoying the company of a great working staff who are willing to embrace a notoriously dazed and confused rookie and whip her into shape.
The choice of location for my first assignment would make me a firm believer in the goddess Fortuna if Jesus wasn't my homeboy already. Although I am restricted to mention this community by name- paranoia, please, set in- I must say other than the absurd that comes from the requirements of the rich and anonymous, it is all pretty normal.
Mornings are usually spent escorting golfers to the Club House, making sure they arrive well before their assigned Tee Time. The earlier they get there, the more they will spend and at $5.00 the soda serving, I guess some people are not as shaken by the derailed economics as other.
Afternoon is the College round with the local Universities completing the Physical fitness courses in either the Tennis or Golf Course. Most of our clients belong to the local Catholic and are either completing a Bachelors in Art or a master in Theology. Since they are not quite infected with the need to push security personnel in the "evil that we need"category, they usually stop, smile and chat away the pressures of what they believe is the real world.
Graveyard shift is undoubtedly my favorite, in which the only thing to care about are the dizzy antics of late night revelers and raccoons the size of the Beast of Bray Road.
Procrastinating? Hell no. No matter how idyllic this seems, I'm looking at my syllabus right now as I'm ready to tackle the whole Medical Management business. If Barry O' delivers on his promise of Universal Health Care, in 8 months or so I'm outta here and back with a vengeance.
In the mean time I've decided to make Tequila with this whole storm of lemons that rains over me :p
