My younger daughter, Mollie, took these photos before I went to work this weekend.
As I said in an earlier post, when I did the training to become a security guard, thus adding yet another position to the long list of jobs I have had in my life, I pictured myself wearing a badge… not a blazer. I wasn’t expecting my first posting to be at an upscale private housing development.
I mean, up to this point, suits were worn only at weddings and funerals. I also smudged the monogrammed logo, for security reasons.
Fortunately, I work the swing shift from 2 in the afternoon until 10 in the evening. When it gets dark, I get to switch over to the bomber jacket with metal badge… and lots of pockets.
Yeah, I know, I look good in a suit.
But I feel cooler in the bomber jacket.
Oh, yeah.
Pouring My Art Out 
You look really good in the suit. I wish my husband could pull off a suit as well as you do.
awww… shucks.
I would have thought you would warmer in a bomber jacket.
I thought the same thing as I typed ‘cooler’… ha!
Ah, a man in uniform. When my husband worked security, he had all those outfits, too. I used to love that “soft” look – in his case it was a nicely tailored navy jacket with tan pants. Very smart looking.
Thanks. But now that the weather is heating up, I am a little worried.
Don’t they have the short-sleeved uniform shirts and the summer weight pants? If not (or even if so), I hope you’re in an air conditioned guard post.
I do have that.
