worked security for john mayer sunday night and had to do pat-downs for hundreds of people(maybe over 1000). i realized after a while that i had been doing them improperly when i saw a co-worker doing them. i was touching a bit more ass than the prescribed method and i was doing it to every person that walked through. i constantly had girls that were really awkward, drunken bastards that make lame small talk(i resolutely ignored said assholes), people smoking, people upset they can't bring in their junk(aerosol sunscreen, lawn chairs that sit over 9" vertically, opened waters, beer etc), and fat people. it's a gross and demoralizing job.
it is kind of interesting work though, it is certainly better than standing in one spot for an entire shift providing a secure presence and not doing anything. i know one thing, i'm sure as hell not working the upcoming ozzfest for fear of massive dudeage at the security gate...
