You are lying, sprawled out on your bed, reading your local newpaper's latest issue. You have graduated college not too long ago, and need a job. As you stare blankly at the ceiling, your eyes scanning the pages for job listings, and listening to the calming white noise of the storm's rain outside, a bright flash of lightning illuminates your curtains, followed by a rumble of thunder. The candle on your bedside dresser, which was there because of the power loss due to the storm, cast an long shadow over a part of the newspaper, on the page adjacent to the one you are reading. As the lightning subsides, so does the shadow, but not before catching your attention. You glance over to the area the candle pointed out, and amongst the miscellaneous ads for several different jobs, one catches your eye. Bright colors and capital letters, how could it not?
"WELCOME, ONE AND ALL, TO VINNIE'S PARTY PALACE! A FANTASTIC PLACE FULL OF FUN, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS!
3 different jobs...A mechanic, a painter, or a night watchman. You know for sure you have no knowledge of robotics, so you would be useless as a mechanic. A painter pays relatively well, but you consider it too dull. One option left...the night watchman. It seems pretty appealing, compared to your other options...

Yes, that's the one!
You fold up the newspaper and place it on your dresser next to the candle, circling the ad in bright red marker. You blow out the candle, and go to sleep, feeling very pleased with yourself. If your application is accepted, you'll have a job that's simple, and the pay is relatively good! This job should be a piece of cake! All you do is sit in an office and look at cameras. What could stop this from being a great experience?
