I work overnight security, not glamorous but it works.

Do people fall asleep on the job like portrayed on tv and movies?

[MeatVegetable]

Sometimes not gunna lie, especially if you pull a triple shift and work 21 days straight

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Is that legal to work those many hours? Do they let you have "sleep breaks" like hospital Doctor's are supposed to have?

[MeatVegetable]

By that I mean working 21 days 12 hours on, 12 hours off.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

still gruelling...that's more like a nursing schedule, except not as many days. If you work on the oil rigs or at the oil camps it is kind of like that too.

[MeatVegetable]

Worked on the rigs for 2 years, good money everything else sucks

[galled]

Oh boy... Watched the movie DEEP WATER HORIZON recently -- scary stuff!

[MeatVegetable]

I live too far inland for those kinds of rigs

oil rigs doesn't particularly mean in the ocean - look at the oil fire this summer in northern Alberta near Fort McMurray

That sounds horrifying? I could never work in a place like that.

At night I work at a store selling liquor and in the afternoons I work in retail, but I guess there both retail?
The only reason I chose these jobs is because there isn't a dress code and I dress oddly so it was a priority when choosing a job!

Also yes! I take naps, me and my friend take turns napping underneath a table we use to write up the 50% off signs. We are both very small people.

Ya, I got to enjoy the smoke since I live in that area, too far away to bother evacuating us however,Cold Lake for me.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'm sorry - the photos I saw of it the smoke looked nasty and I have only had a little experience with forest fire smoke and it really permeates everything

[MeatVegetable]

We've had a forest fire in this area atleast twice a year since it has been incredibly dry lately. I've worked on the emergency services dispatching side on one.

[TheBeeWitch]

As someone who visited forests often that upsets me I suppose.

Edit; I would collect feathers and little trinkets to make runes and such, also teas from the lavender I would find.
