Security Detail

Tonight I took a walk in the dark, and with my visit with W in the not-too-distant past, I realized how much I enjoyed working security in college so many years ago.  I liked the people I worked with. I liked working nights.  I liked walking around campus.  I liked the atmosphere.  I liked that I got to be sneaky.  I would never want to be a cop, but we weren't cops.  We just got to wear a green coat, have a radio and maglight as protection, and wandered around aimlessly until we found something interesting or had to give an escort to those students (99% of which were female) who wanted someone to walk with them from campus to the dorms/parking lots.

I enjoyed it too. I think being nighthawks helped. It was like our own little club. We stayed up late and knew what happened all over campus. (=

I loved having our own club with the keys to the campus.
