Aziz is finally back home after a long stay at the hospital where he got treated from severe wounds.

Indeed he got injured during the recent fights of May and was still recovering from his unwilling participation in such a war.

Listening to the news that evening, he just wished to himself if all politicians and their supporters could just shut the **** up for a few weeks... Nothing much, just up until the new year, since he knows that they got too much to prepare for...

Aziz has been employed with Best Security for over a month when he decided to leave his old job at the Sunshine factory.

Best offered a full time job from 8 AM till 8 PM and now paid 2$ per hour (3000 liras), 6 days a week.

This meant an income of +600$ for Aziz, just sitting in front of a bank in daytime, then shifting to an insurance company in the evening (shifting from the pub guard at night).

That's much more than what he used to do at the factory...

Aziz got lucky... or so he thought.

Best Security © was a company advertising in Al Safir newspaper. Aziz read it while going back home - he uses daily public commuting by the way - the ad showed a requirement for a security guard from 8 PM till 2 AM at a local pub.

Aziz called the number and after a few words with the operator, got a time and date for an interview.

"So quick" he thought, still he needed to get himself ready. He went to Quick Cut...

6 AM - Aziz didn't feel like getting up today. He felt too tired, too slow to even move himself within his bed.

Tired? Shouldn't he have rested after a full night's sleep?

In principle, yes - but Aziz did not get a full night sleep, in fact Aziz only slept at 4 in the morning, trying to find another job online.

But he didn't. Well paid jobs weren't easy coming these days and he really did not want to go for something that pays him less than what he's getting...
