started employment a few nights ago as a part time overnight security guard at the ramada. not exactly sure how i got the job, with no work experience whatsoever. maybe my internship and college degree impressed? my fellow coworkers are all huge and intimidating, and then there's me--probably one of the skinniest/scrawniest guys there. four weddings tonight, so i had a chance to meet the kitchen staff. so many comments about my build once they heard my position

Surprising they wouldnt see your degree and bin your app, cool.

Doesn't take much tonnage to dial 911.

exactly. it's really our only weapon, threats and cellphones. still, my general appearance and demeanor is so nonthreatening that i can't help but wonder what will happen in the next weeks/months

@tyr: maybe it's a joy of living in north dakota? filled out three applications and received three job offers. then again, they were all low-paying (<$13/hour)

I need to get a gun in case I ever need to fight my way out of South Carolina.

I was able to cross the border with North Carolina twice... without incident.

Your car wasn't searched at the border?

too bad one stray bullet or ricocheted shrapnel could end him pretty quick. and is that a dress shirt he's wearing in there? how pointlessly uncomfortable

I guess that is Bicycle man, or something.

That's a historically inaccurate picture of Mongers 2099.

Did they require any certifications?
I looked at a few security guard job postings around here, but they all required some certification from the state that would cost ~$200.

Are you and Ide blind? That's obviously FDR, the wheels are from his wheelchair.

You may not like the subject matter, but the detail is exquisite. It's a fantastic drawing.

I did not immediately recognize him as FDR.  I guess that's fun.

Should be fighting a Hitler or Tojo cyborg for context.
