Dangerous Job

23 November, 2007 (22:56) | Life, Philippines | By: Mi

My job isn’t really dangerous. Probably for the heart, since I hear a lot of stories like callers being so mad or something. But that’s not the danger there, I think.

I’m going to be working in another city, about an hour to an hour and a half of travel from my place. Going to work would be somewhat direct, while going home… I’ll have to walk about 15 minutes if I want to save on transportation fare. The problem is that route home is a little dangerous. Even in broad daylight. It just gives me the creeps. Call me a snob or something, but … I’ll be going past a bus terminal and around it are too many suspicious-looking people. They look dirty and everything.

Don’t get me wrong. I pass my these kinds of people all the time, but this is somewhat far from the public eye, almost like in a middle of nowhere but not quite. I’m just thinking that maybe I should start bringing my knife. It’s a switch blade kind of safety utility knife that I could easily put in my pocket. Especially now that I just found out my schedule on Monday. My job starts at 2pm and ends at 10pm. Assuming I get to ride on the last train… And pass by there… Scary.

Of course, there’s always an alternative, another route, and a little more money involved. I guess I shouldn’t be listening to my mp3 player when I walk home at night from now on. >_< I should always be alert. You never know when someone’s already following you if your ears are plugged.

Bring a can of bear mace.

Bears. They can hide in the shadows. Ready to pounce upon your feeble body as soon as you start to hum “GOOD DAYS” by that old, rusty bus stop.

Creative exposition aside, keep yourself safe. Life > Money.

Make sure you wear plenty of layers of clothing. That way when you do commando rolls to avoid strange looking people you won’t ruin your body. :D
