Well I really screwed myself over this time. I dont sleep most nights until about 5 am. Dont ask why, even i dont know, pills do nothing. Well anyhow most days thats fine because i dont work until late 3pm or so getting off sometime around 11:30 or midnight. Well i did that last night, 11/20. Today, 11/21 i have to be to work at 8 am.

So i pondered this for a while and decided i would take the hard route through this, why because im daring? Because i like pushing my body to the limits? No because im a fucking idiot. I decided to stay up from 11:00 am 11/20 until late tonight, after going to work. So around 36 hours or so, not to hard, done it before. So why is this so stupid you ask?

Well this is stupid because i have the most boring job i know of. I stand for 8.5 hours. Thats right just stand. Maybe walking time to time. Hey if there willing to pay me $9.00 an hour for 40 hours a week with benefits, i'll take it. Anyhow so this is my personal challenge / hell.

I just thought i'd make a random 5:15 am post about what im going to do today.

OKAY. Gather around men; let me tell you about the Force... err, I mean,
my personal experience with security-related jobs.

My first job EVER was as a scanography technician: a very fancy way of sayin'
x-ray dude. It was at the canadian parliament and tourists just came in all
the time, so bag after bag had to be put into the machine and we'd look to
see if any bombs or knives were being taken in. Another part of the job was
telling people to get ready to take out any metallic objects they had in their
pockets so the detector wouldn't sound off needlessly: if they beeped, one
of the guards near the rear of the room would GARRETT them (use a hand-
held metasl detector). Did I mention breaks were short and we were always
standing up? The job sucked wolfy balls and after one summer's worth, I
was happy to leave.

The other security job I had was at Toys'R'us. Yes, Toys'R'us... STOP
LAUGHING! Anyway, it was during Christmas time and they wanted to
minimize theft in the electronics section, so they hired me and said
"your job is to walk around in the electronics section with your security
coat and look for thieves", to this I replied: "and what if I see a crime
in progress? do I arrest out of store?" and he said "no, you only walk
around..." Needless to say, I wanted to laugh and tell him how stupid
his idea was, but decided to go against that because the job was great:
employees were paid 8$ or something while I got an extra dollar to
walk around and chill. My feet were killing me though...

That's about all I can think of at the moment; if some more comes to
mind, I will be sure to post it here for your entertainment biggrin:

Yeah thats kind of stupid. You have no power, but if someone saw you with a security coat and such, I doubt very much their going to try to steal something. Its a deterrent.

I have a friend who works at sears and he gets to sit up in a booth and control the cameras. He says they turn the recorder off sometimes and follow hot chicks around with the camera. He also gets to go out on the floor and the guys up in the boot tells him who is stealing or commiting a crime and he gets to go and catch them.

cashier at a grocery store, the 6 hour shift is the worst...3 hours straight, 15 minutes break, 3 more hours straight of standing and acting friendly to mostly rude people/whitetrash that smell of jackets with 10 year old cigarette smoke

My Job:

From 12am - 9am, Mon - Thursday, I sit behind a counter, watching DVDs, for 15 NZ Dollars an hour....It can be fun, I only get like 9 or 10 customers a week, most of them coming in at 7 - 9am period....So I spend most of my time alone....The thing is, when I get home in the morning, I Don't sleep.

I sit at the computer, posting on forums, maybe go out and do something with my mates. Throw in a 2 - 3 hour nap in there somewhere, then, on Friday and Saturday nights I go out and get heavily inebriated with my friends. I sleep in large the next morning.

That's my life at the moment.
