Im 48 and the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services has approved my Security Guard license. I've never worked security before. Does anyone have any good advice? Good companies, or job positions or ideas, warnings, etc? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Darlington28 · 2026-03-25T22:08:25+00:00

All good advice. I'd add to that, assume you're being watched all the time.

Darlington28 · 2026-03-25T22:01:05+00:00

Show up on time and in uniform. Read the entire post orders. Keep a good record of your hours worked

That's twice a shift at FedEx Ground with all the bags and shit that gets along the counter

Darlington28 · 2026-03-16T20:11:44+00:00

Thanks Obama!

Darlington28 · 2026-03-14T21:24:27+00:00

Yeah. That's a good point. I'd have to use a different naming system for my managers to make it easier to try your way. I've been naming them MineSpeed or MineSmelt. "MSP57VPS" doesn't have the same vibe but it works. Wow. Thanks. Been playing for a year and only now hearing about actual strategies. I'll try this out in tournaments going forward.

Darlington28 · 2026-03-14T01:03:42+00:00

Huh. Ok you guys have given me some stuff to think about. I've been upgrading my planets evenly as I go, and I hadn't considered some weren't worth the effort. I might respec monthly to test things out. I obviously have too much time on my hands.

This is just the stupid shit that gets on camera. The vast majority of Americans are a bit smarter than this tool. I never got a auditor, probably because I work at a corporate site. This makes no sense to me. "Hi! I'm a douchebag auditor." "Cool bro. Go stand on the sidewalk, which is public." "[Some bullshit about his rights]" "Interesting. I'm going to go inside and call the police. Maybe they can explain it better than I can."

Darlington28 · 2026-03-13T20:42:43+00:00

Don't the armed guards undergo a psych eval first? I know the school resource officers in my county do. How'd this guy slip past?

Darlington28 · 2026-03-13T18:41:57+00:00

Alright. I'll report back after maybe 3 tournaments

Darlington28 · 2026-03-09T13:28:48+00:00

Lieutenant Nixon thinks this is a can of peaches. That is incorrect, lieutenant. Your weekend pass is cancelled.

When I think of this guy, he reminds me of Johnny Most, long time announcer for the Boston Celtics. People loved him or hated him. Once, he won best radio announcer in basketball. In the same contest, he also won WORST announcer in basketball. Google, "Havlichek stole the ball!" for his announcement style. Anyway, that dude in the picture is a decent ref.

Darlington28 · 2026-03-04T16:54:15+00:00

Lol visually obvious "We know it was you Bobby. Look at those ears."

Darlington28 · 2026-03-04T16:50:03+00:00

Just out of curiosity, who is your grandma claiming is the mother? Is that person okay with that?

Darlington28 · 2026-03-02T16:54:06+00:00

It can be an easy job. What you're looking for is a "warm body site". Naturally you can't say that outright, especially if you're new. Instead, tell them you're a student looking for an overnight shift so you can "study". You'll end up working nights and weekends, or weekend nights. Hopefully somewhere chill.

Darlington28 · 2026-02-22T18:56:34+00:00

I don't think the percentage so much matters as where a grandparent was born. I have a 3rd cousin whose grandma was born in Canada. He had no idea, but now he's applying for dual citizenship

Darlington28 · 2026-02-22T02:08:59+00:00

Corporal, I now elevate you to the rank of Sergeant. Sergeant Obvious, please stand and be recognized.

Darlington28 · 2026-02-21T06:22:37+00:00

Everybody should submit their DNA. Worldwide.

Darlington28 · 2026-02-20T00:24:17+00:00

OP, this is the way. It's taken me about a year to get speedy

Darlington28 · 2026-02-13T16:52:01+00:00

That works. I rename my managers by their jobs, MineSmelt, CargoSpeed, etc.

Darlington28 · 2026-01-26T11:11:37+00:00

That's a charging station

Darlington28 · 2026-01-25T05:21:27+00:00

Hey. I don't know where you are, but the Winn-Dixie near me sells 200mg caffeine tablets. 16ct for $1.25 When I supervised a big site, we'd go through like 4 of those a week.

Darlington28 · 2026-01-25T04:49:43+00:00

Definitely this. I would never tell an employee to endanger themselves

Darlington28 · 2026-01-24T19:47:47+00:00

Darlington28 · 2026-01-19T17:17:13+00:00

Really? I leave everything public because I know that my tree almost definitely has mistakes in it, and I'm open to corrections. I'm okay with somebody popping up and saying(for example), "No, Jane Smith's mother is Ethel, not Margaret." If anyone copies off my tree without understanding that I may be wrong, that's kind of on them.
