I finally applied for my first "real" job since Bagel Hell. And it's not even that "real" of a job. 
Where, you ask? Another restaurant? Following my bartending dream? No.
The nearest bartending job that will train people up from "no bar experience" is about thirty miles away, and will not release any information on their required shifts and/or policies. (It's at a hotel restaurant, but that's all I have to go on.)
No, I've applied to be an Area Security Supervisor with my university's Residence Hall Security department. Basically I'll be one notch above the front-line Security Monitors who check student ID's and sign people into and out of the dorms, and one notch below the Residential Area Organizers. I'll be about level with a dispatcher, but that should only be my duty occasionally. Most of the time I should be patrolling my area, signing in people who are under 17 (Sec Mon's can't do it themselves per policy), escorting people when required, reporting any disturbances via radio and making sure that all the doors in my assigned area are locked and alarmed. And checking in on the Security Monitors, taking their sign-in sheets, and covering them when they go for breaks.
That's if I get the job. But since they're hiring and it's something I'm interested in doing, I figured why not? And I need money for paintball anyway, since the season is restarting soon. (And I'm in charge of fixing the team's website and getting it carried over to the university's new server.
)
Any advice from anyone who's worked similar jobs? This includes horror stories if there are any to be had.
