Love where you work and you never work a day in your life.

As we explore the downsides of a zombie apocalypse, I try to hit on the things that aren't so obvious.  Millions dying is a problem, but that's not what I'm talking about.  I'm talking about the things you don't think about all the time.  And let's face it, as far as the millions dying thing goes, if you're going to make an omelet, you've got to crack a few eggs.

But onward ho!  What I'm talking about right now is this.....  Zombies have happened, you've survived, but things have changed for the waaaaay better, like your crappy job not existing anymore.  Hell, maybe you even got to shoot him in his stupid zombie face, but now I'm talking about the good things again.  I digress.  I'm talking about the fact that eventually, you could run out of zombies.  If they're the type that are technically living, odds are, you're going to outlive them.  In some movies they only last a month.  Some they last longer, but in the "real world" there's a great chance that a zombie uprising would actually be put down!   So you had your fun bashing in zombie skulls and now they're gone!?  I mean, at some point, that's actually worse than if it hadn't happened at all!  What a tease, right!? 

As I see it, here's your best case scenario:  Zombie uprise happens.  Tons of casualties (like your crappy boss), but you survive.  The main problem is stopped, but you have a steady flow of people turning later.  They get sick, they encounter the virus, or whatever.  The point is, the world is back to "normal", so you've got your technology and your hot showers, and your takeout pizza.  But people keep turning, and there is a need for you to keep killing zombies!  People keep being born, zombies keep happening, but there's a balance.  And that's where you come in.  You get the live the rest of your life killing zombies.  That's your dream job anyway!  And you know what they say, "Do work you love and you never work a day in your life."
