After the whole long journal post yesterday, it actually turns out that I found another relatively promising job opportunity today. Was talking with the guy who was doing the cash pickup for my store and he mentioned that he was actually from Southern VA. Apparently they pulled him all the way up here because his company is so short handed in the area.

Went out on a limb and asked if they were hiring (because I know unfortunately some companies are just making due with being short handed because they can't afford more people). Suddenly he really brightened up and started offering me the website for application and his personal work phone # so I could let him know when I've applied so he could alert his boss.

Guess I'm going to go ahead and fire off an application when I get home and hope for the best. But, I'm curious... Has anyone ever worked for a company like Loomis or Garda? Know anything about that kind of work good, bad, or otherwise?
