the good, the bad, the ugly

Most days, I enjoy my job. Usually its pretty slow, quiet. I can do homework, chat on msn, write on my blog, ect. I also have made some pretty good friends here at work. They're an awesome bunch, to whom I owe my sanity (and sometimes my insanity). However, on nights like tonight, I find myself dreading being behind the desk. Weekends. Ugh. When the stupid, the intoxicated, and the just plain obnoxious emerge from their stinky dorm rooms to be rowdy, break things, and yell at anyone telling them what to do.

How hard is it to act like a sane, moral and normal human being??? Aparantly, its quite difficult...sigh.

The worst part: To enter our dorms, you must past through a turn stil security system, and earlier today, the entrance, controlled by a mainframe computer, crashed, resetting some 2,500 swipe enterance cards. I have spent my entire shift confirming residences identities, and reprograming swipes. Add to this the regular mayhem of screaming, singing, drunkeness, and their intense dislike of me when I "force" them to prove who they are. God forbid I let a psycho murder/rapist, or a serial fire alarm puller into their building (the entire floor gets billed when someone falsely pulls it and they can't prove who it is)

This night has been hellish, and makes me dislike my job.
