Summary
Then he knocked at my door with two theatre tickets in his hand. I said no before he opened his mouth, then said no over and over with various and dubiously credible excuses attached, while he presented his rambling explanation of having gotten two tickets to a show months ago, to see with the wife, that it was expensive but it had her favourite singer in it so he thought it was worth it, he thought it would fix things, but it didn’t, and now he’s stuck with two tickets to a musical and nobody to take with him because obviously the wife left, his niece is too young for something like that, and none of his friends like musicals, none of them but me. I was trying to decide whether to clarify to him that we were not actually friends, but just then he stopped waving his arms around for long enough that I could read the title on the tickets. Oh shit. I couldn't miss that.
So I said yes. I told him I’d go before I figured out a way to walk back my excuses, which included a chronic health condition, a distant relative’s dog and a close relative’s funeral.

Summary
You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.
Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.
You don't think this was in your employee contact.
