Yet Another Grilling by the Security Guard Supervisor...
This time, a visitor came to the gate where I was guarding and flashed a fire-fighter badge in my face. Thinking he was there to do some emergency inspection, I let him in (I should've asked for a PHOTO ID and called the resident first).
Turns out he was a woman's EX-HUSBAND! She called and asked why I let him in, I responded with the above, said it would not happen again, from here on out I photo ID EVERYONE, she seemed agreeable, she went ahead and complained to my supervisors anyway, I had to get grilled and re-explain the situation...ugh...and some residents get pissed when you DO call them! Can't win for losin' around here...why am I continuing to subject myself to this low pay and high liability abuse? I don't need their shit money THAT bad!
Gotta be a better way to make money. Even if a job doesn't pay any more than this, maybe the PEOPLE will be a bit more pleasant...nothing like getting grilled for a one-time incident to negate the other 7 hours 59 mins. of excellent service I provided...
I feel like shit, feel like quitting, even though I don't have another job lined up. Some weddings ahead, which pay nice when they're there, but don't pay well enough to live on yet...so I DO need a second source of income. Suggestions for generating a lousy $300 a week after taxes are welcome.
OK, fuck them...done with them for the day...onto editing a wedding video I shot Saturday. THEY'RE appreciative of me!

My suggestion is to put up with this for a while till you find another job. You are angry now, thats why you want to end everythin asap. Wait tho and dont act accordin to your temper!
if your boss was as smart as you, he would have handled the whole sistuation different. take care and hope tommorow is a brighter day.
Thanks, guys. OVivacious, I\'m looking for another job, but just not seeing anything remotely appealing, in line with my talents and experience, that is going to get me where I need to be financially. I\'m trying to control my tempter. What is left is sadness and despair. This recession is a nightmare. electric, my boss is NOT as smart as me.
