You know, I love my job. I work IRL as an unarmed security guard, for a contract-based agency. It's easy work, it gets around the couple minor physical disabilities I have, and it's necessary and useful.

The only problem is the contract-based part.

I live in New Hampshire, near the seacoast. Right now, the nearest open shift is in Massachusetts, over two hours away. Unless and until a ship comes into one of the ports, there's nothing for me to do.

The bad news is that I have no money at present. The good news is that my landlady understands my situation and is extremely tolerant of it.

So I guess it balances out.
