The worst part, and I'm sure NPC will agree.....is when things become monotonous.

As long as you're kept thinking it's easier.

Drained and empty, certainly. Physical labor can get that way as well.

Yeah, I managed to get a nice security job that really only requires that a stay awake all night, so I spend allot of time chatting on discord

Rofl. I used to play WoW as a night auditor at a hotel.

I got burned out on general labor after my knee blew out

Same idea.

But haven't had an office job yet

I threw the towel in and returned to self-employment.

Lol.

Tell me about your security job, NPC. Are you sitting behind screens, monitoring cameras and such?

In a car on a construction site

Regular perimeter patrols

You should consider some portable and mobile camera systems to lessen the load.

We are, but we're a small company so we have to consider a budget

Armed, or with that pepper breath spray everyone's so keen on using for self defense?

American security standards, I'm actually not allowed to do anything but call the cops and be a deterrent

Wow.

So I got a floodlight bright enough to blind

jesus

Isn't it mad that we have, written into law, that citizens can carry....but you're not allowed to as a guard?

Honestly, it reduces risk to me personally

How so?

I have no imperative to make contact, just report

And a visible human presence reduces the chance of something happening by like 90%

Interesting.

So, the other 10% you call and report....OR they shank you.

Security theater is theater, but it works as a deterrent

At least you have the car, man.

I respect tasers. I respect LTL ammo from various firearms. Don't respect mace/pepper spray so much. Find it odd that you're not allowed to carry.

....which, ironically, is actually in violation of your rights.

I could carry, but I choose not to. I'm personally not proficient enough with a handgun for it to be effective

Ah ok.

Better with bow, rifles, and shotguns

A .38 revolver has 'snake shot'.

Don't gotta be an expert. It's like bird shot.

Is that the bolo thing?

No. It is pellets.

Hmm

Interesting

Yeah. Same concept as a shotgun. Buys you time in the event that something dangerous actually goes down.
