Hello my friends.

[Big Mac]

Well it is, but extremely boring. Though I got "promoted" into being Lead Officer which means when the supe is gone, I have to ride around in the little golf kart and give breaks and shit. Which isn't so bad, actually time flies by now. And if I work the schedule just right, I can work school in there.

hahahahaha. You HAVE to ride the golf-cart?!?!? That sounds like a perk! /Hums "Police Academy" theme music..... Ahhh, I can picture it now....

[Big Mac]

This one guy wrecked it during the night shift. We call him Urkel and he was out on the construction site, well he followed the cones when you're not supposed to. The reason being is the cones lead to a steep decline that has a huge speed bump. Trying to go on that will make you crash. That's what he did. He mess up his leg a little and smashed the windshield thing. It was awesome. But it's good he damaged it, they had to repair the engine that would require you "charge up" by holding the gas down before it went its breakneck speed of .095 miles per hour.

We all do crazy shit on that cart and I've made a few people bang their heads against the roof on "accident". My boss showed me how to do it. We're all assholes like that. Actually, my job is kind of fun.

LMAO. So, was he able to get any cash out of it or anything?   ....Ya know what? No guy who resembles Urkel in any fashion should be permitted on a construction site if Family Matters has taught us anything.

[Big Mac]

Well he's kind of....well he's borderline retarded.

Example: we issue temp badges to workers who come to do auxillery work such as specialists, etc. Well this black guy and this Mexican guy arrive at the jobsite together and give theif liscenses to get temp badges. When they are leaving the Jobsite, Urkel asks me which liscense belonged to which. A mexican guy and a black guy.....how hard can that one be to sort out?

I do suicide turns on it, one of these days it's gonna bite me in the ass.

Well.... Hmmm. Well, now I just feel like a douche. Poor retarded kid. I had one at work once /Nudges Erinos

I wish I could fuck with a golf cart and get paid for it while being able to fit in school...why don't they have cool jobs like that where I live?

[Fourth Iteration]

Oh I'm sure they do, Laetus.... Just open your eyes and follow your heart! /Pulls out umbrella and flies away

Well Allied Barton is a national company. If they're opening up a contract, they most likely will hire an excess at first and see who is retarded and who can do the job. Since more and more jobsites are using computers, security guards have to be a little bit smarter than before (in fact my post has two computers I use for scanning for viruses, monitoring cameras, tracking in/out equipment, and generally appearing quite presentable to the Vice President and other such important people). I don't know about OK but in TX you have to be licensed through the state to be a Security Officer (the new word for it, they get hissy if you say guard) which really is taking a test that asks common sense questions like "If you see someone breaking into a car what do you ?" the answer is call the real cops, since you have no power to arrest. That and you can't have any felonies or violent crimes, etc.

Anywho, back to the golf cart and the retarded kid.

So when he asked the two guys which one was which, the Mexican says to me in spanish about this guy being a dumbass and Mr. "Special" starts laughing. I was telling my boss about it and he told me that Special Ed does that stuff all the time and that he thought he was joking at first.

Man I never realized that my job, besides the bullshit from the Koreans, is kind of fun.

There are these ports for workers to walk through that we've all driven the cart through. It's a shortcut!!! Yeah! It's strictly business! Dammit!

Update on Golf Cart shennigans!!!

So yesterday I was supervising people (which involves squat except for smoking with one of the other guards at the only trailer that has no cameras on it) and I gave this one guy a break a little before getting everything turned in to control. I had reversed in front of the post as not to block traffic and forgot it was switched on to reverse. When he came back I floored it and it rammed into the post. Nothing was damage (I didn't go more than probably 6 or so feet) but I came real close to ramming him with the golf cart. He was all terrified, I was more worreid about them calling me up and asking what the hell I did. That and I almost flew off when my supervisor took a suicide turn.

Some people have all the luck with jobs... why if Erinos was on right now and not at his dead-end job, he'd probably be jealous of you.

[Big Mac]

Well it sucks because this job goes by very slowly. It's not taxing except for the intense Texan heat but not exerting ourselves like the construction workers. I'm losing weight now. Before 4 I walk around a lot so I'm noticing my weight loss. My jeans are fitting better.

[Erinos]

I'm not too jealous. My job isn't so bad when it's cloudy/rainy. infact, under said conditions, I almost enjoy it. Not to mention, I'm also losing some weight. And I've only been doing it for two weeks.

I just think it would be cool to get paid to drive a golf cart.  The only type of job I can get around here with my school schedule is fast food...which I am trying to avoid having to do.  By this time next year I'll be getting paid for what I'm now paying to be taught in school...getting paid for what I do anyway will be nice.
