How zombie proof is your job.

[Votolom]

How zombie proof is your job and what would you do to improve it.

I work as security at a oil refinery. This place by its self is a death trap. Add zombies and well I'd be one dead duck. Our chainlink fence line is so massive It would take to much man power to cover. We have on site power so thats no problem. If we where to keep the areas on necessary to keep the plant running only secure then it might be possible. But still we need trucks to bring in chemicals to function. we also have a dock and rail way. Another plus is half our plant is build on a old WWI bunker site. If anything it could be converted into a good compound.

Dude, I've worked places where my co-workers were so clueless and lazy they were just about indistinguishable from zombies.

I work at Wal Mart.

[BigHoss]

If I'm stuck at my security job I would be safe after locking down the building. If some zombies were already inside there are mass amounts of weapons of opportunity to be had hammers, crow bars etc. Now, if I was at my sales job I would be sitting pretty. There are only two main doors left open during business hours no Windows to be broken and climbed through. There is ammunition and firearms galore, from a tiny NNA .22 short revolver to a barrett m-107 50 bmg!:)

I work by myself at night at a motel. I guess I'd be relatively okay barricading myself in a top floor room but I still keep my BOV right outside the door ready if I need to bail. They don't pay me enough to man the desk in times of zombies.

We have a winner. please don't hurt me

Mine is zombie-proof up until society completely and utterly collapses. As long as there are newspapers I have something to deliver. My other job is a disabled vet so that's a government collapse kinda thing. Please note that in an extreme national disaster (WW III, Long Valley Caldera erupting, a metor the size of Texas not getting blown up by Bruce Willis, actual zombies, etc.) I would be screwed, but that's about what it would take in my case.

[KJ_Ford]

I work in the gulf on an oil rig; so I suppose as long as the zombies don't walk along the bottom for a hundred miles or so and climb the legs, I should be fine. And then again, even if they did, it would just give us something to throw things at as they climbed.

[gravediggerfour]

Ah work one of my favorite subjects. I have 238 civilians that are trying to be soldiers in my company alone. They are generally slow moving ,out of shape, unintelligent whiners that have been coddled by their parents for the last 18-20 years. Otherwise know as bait. I figure Ill have no problem making it home....

I can see it now. Tater braving the wastelands to deliver the news to the various settlements in exchange for food. Call it, "The Paperboy."

We must work at the same place. No one here ever takes the stairs, they literally can't understand why I always do. There is a massive mental gap.

Thanks for the laugh. The sad part is I wrote me delivering papers into a Zombie Outbreak on one of the WWYD threads. I did my job until I couldn't.

Scene: a dessert wastland... minimal vegitation... the wind is kicking up some sand. As the wind dies a bit you see a man dressed in cargo pants, an athletic shirt, and flip-flop shoes, all in earth tones. He has a half-mad look in his eyes as he walks towards the camera where we notice his sunburned and sandblasted, dry skin. Between cracked lips he whispers...

Tater Raider (barely audible): Extra. Read all about it. Hell fills to capacity. Dead walk the earth. Read all about it. (collapses and ceases all movement)


EtA: then you could play the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for dramatic effect. Clint Eastwood could pry the paper out of my cold, dead hand and say, "Putz."

[dangerkrue]

Think Im fairly safe, as I work in a windowless, TS clearance, vault like room. The building itself is enclosed in wrought iron fencing and sets in the middle of the base (also enclosed in fencing).

There is also a medium security brig secured by Marines, the security force training schools, and the CG MSRT.

The problem wouldnt be keeping Zombies out but how I would get out to get my family.

[Biggin]

I wouldn't choose another place to be. Haha. I work at a shooting range. Concrete building, hundreds of thousands of rounds, all employees are armed, no windows, one door in one door out. Yep... pretty zombie proof.

How much food and water in the range? I'm reminded of the gun shop owner in the Dawn of the Dead remake...

[Silent Kube]

That part always bothered me. You're telling me a guy like that didn't have a couple dozen cases of mre's under an old army blanket and a layer of dust in the back "Just in case?"

That's a good point. My work as stated above Is a large area. we have deer and turkey. Ever rats if you want to get that down into eating whatever.
There is probable enough bottled water around for a good month with the hundred plus people currently working on any given shift. I think there are some berry and olive trees.

Theres a case or two of MREs that the owner picked up after a hurricane. We also have a water machine thingy so there probably 3 of those big jugs of water in the office plus the coke machine.

Not a whole lot really but enough for a few days if we are actually talking about holding up for a while.




Yeah, that part of Dawn of the Dead bothered me. Any sane gun shop owner knows to stockpile and prep!!! haha

[Dawgboy]

They gotta get through this door to get to my office. Also the first opening above it is about 40 feet off the ground... And also is steel.

Hmm. I wonder what's the best way to cook 'vermin' animals to make them safe to eat? I mean there's nothing implicitly wrong with rat meat, it's just that there's a high illness/disease quotient right? (plague bearing fleas and parasites and whatnot?) If you had to eat stray cats and urban rats, if things got that bad, what's the most hygienic way to harvest prepare and cook such meat?

My guess would be boiling the shit out of it. Of course this still may not work but I'd imagine that's the most likely since boiling has been used to sterilize for decades.

[Jeeps4fun]

As my primary occupation is presently college student, the largest weapon I have available is a pocket knife. But I guess I'd be safe for a little bit as long as no one opens the doors and lets the zombies in. (at least 4 between myself and outside). No BOV on campus, but maybe I can join the gun club and keep my firearm in the safe in the admin building.

I have a local gun shop within 200 yds. The owner lives there. Don't know about his food preps at all but it just reminded me of the movie because we could communicate with the whiteboards just like the movie LOL

[/thread jack]

I am currently unemployed so I'm home most of the time so it's pretty secure

[Rorshach]

I work on a hill, surrounded by razorwire, able to see for 10 klicks in every direction. Sandbag bunkers with tripod mounted 240s, 6 other zombie fanatics armed with everything from 9mm's to AT-4s. 3 months supply of water and MREs at minimum. I think I'm good
