I must admit I feel a little silly asking this, but hey, all you Escapist guys and gals seem to be pretty good with everything so why not.
To cut a long story short, I work at a Game shop in the UK, hours are fairly low due to high staff numbers, but I love the work, and I love talking to people about video games. Recently I was given a shift in a town about a half hour/forty five minuet drive away, As I needed the money I took it, due to good performance they want to give me more hours there, which absolutely rocks, so already I'm going to be spending a few days of next week there, with a real chance of getting a position on the management team over there.
Now my problem is that this town I've been given these shifts in could be easily described as a terrible, terrible, place. The town is full of yobs, and angry drunks, muggings are more common than in other places in my county, and as a testament to how bad the place is their annual town bonfire has been 'indefinably suspended' due to the fact there is at least one stabbing every time it happens, one of my colleges used to be a bouncer at a fairly respected club there, and he got stabbed in the back by someone who mistook him for an enemy of there's (obviously he survived relativity unharmed, just a bit of stiffness here and there). Obviously I'm being a little dramatic, this stuff doesn't happen everyday, it's not a war zone or anything,there are no roving gangs of Fallout three-esk bandits roaming the town, but what I'm trying to say is it's not a great place.
