I'm Back!!

I know it's been a long time since my last post but I haven't had much access to the Internet.  When I could get online I only had enough time for checking my emails for the most part.  Today I have a little time to update my Posterous so here it is.  It's been a little less than a year since I started working in Security and yet for the last 3 months I have have managed to be trusted with a high priority assignment that I am making a couple more bucks an hour with a lot higher level of responsibility.  In fact the last Guard that I replaced retired and was a Security Guard for many years.  I know many people out there see Security as a low paying dead end job and I agree with the low paying part but for me, I see it as a stepping stone to my new career, at least for a while.  Other than a lot of walking it's not a very physical job.  After working a few potentially dangerous job assignments in Detroit, I was asked to work at the Library at a well known University in Dearborn.  I accepted due to more pay and it wasn't in Detroit.  The job is challenging because I have to interact with people that are usually half my age and advise them when they are breaking the rules.  I am basically a monitor, patrolling each floor.  Most of the students are friendly and respectful to me but in the 3 months I've been there three people did not want to listen to me.  I had to call campus police twice to resolve the situation.  The Library staff is top notch and very helpful to me and I couldn't have asked for better support from them and the Public Safety department.  The management of the Library has made it known to me that they want me to be there permanently and have told me on a couple of occasions that I am doing a great job.  Even the lieutenant of Public Safety shook my hand and thanked me for a job well done.  I now have my sites set on working directly for Public Safety and will be applying soon for a position with them that is opening up soon.  Wish me luck!  I'll keep you posted:)
