I'm back!! It's been about a year since I posted, so here's an update: A few months before my last post I was assigned a post at the University of Michigan, Dearborn campus, as a Security Guard for the campus library. This post assignment automatically made me a Site Supervisor since I will be supervising three co-workers during mid-term and final exam periods. So, my goal to get supervisory experience has been fulfilled. While working there I have experienced a lot, from working with police officers and campus security, dealing with groups of people including speaking in front of groups of 50 people and more, noise complaint resolution, threats, and theft. I was given the job with no training other than meeting with the Public Safety Supervisor to go over the post orders, and since the last semester I have been told a couple of times that noise complaints have been way down compared to the years previous to my employment there. I have also started another job (December 2013 to present) as an in-house security guard in Livonia. The job pays a lot better but it is only part time. So for now I am working 2 jobs at about 52 hours a week and before long I hope to reach my next goal of making at least what I was making at Comcast before I quit. Anyways, I am a lot happier now that I don't have to put up with all the headaches I had when I worked at Comcast. I would pat myself on the back but I'm worried that I would do it too hard and break something:) Until next time folks! Wes
