Yeah, I feel for you. I ran a restaurant for a short time, I can't understand why someone lays out the money and effort to go to a culinary school so they can work 70 hour weeks in horrible conditions for minimum wage.
The above is a generalization... There are certainly food service workers who are well compensated and have a decent work environment, and I understand the art/challenge aspect.

Requested a purchasing report for a vendor for deliveries within the date range April 1 through April 30. This is a routine request.
She came back with "What about April 31st? You normally ask for the whole month."
Sure, go ahead and throw in the 31st.
Deja vu up in here...
Next time have to report go out to the 32 or 34.

The stupid girl who's barely out of her teens, doesn't know sh** about anything outside of her equally shallow group of friends on her Facebook page, and starts every sentence with the phrase "OH MY GAWD! LIKE...YOU KNOW...."

Wait, Valley-girl syndrome is still a thing?

I used to work with that person...the one that doesn't feel happy unless they're suffering through a diet, while making sure the entire office is aware of their martyrdom:
"Well, I had a protein smoothie for breakfast, and for lunch I brought exactly 6 carrot sticks, and a teaspoon of fat-free ranch dressing. Oh NO, I'm not eating any carbs, they're just so bad for you. Yeah, it's pretty tough, but it's worth it to get healthy. I lost half a pound last month!"
Cool, so can I have your share of the pizza at the next lunch-and-learn? Sure, you can stare at me with disdain.
I think it's gone national.
Ugh. Thats. like, just totally, awful. Yaknow?
I am not sure whats worse. A Valley-girl or my least favorite coworker here who this picture sums up best.
He doesnt move much during the day, but somehow it happens.
Lunch and learns are great!
I love lunch.
people at work seem to always look to me for answers. be it weld specs on a certain part, inner company goings on, proper procedures, welding knowledge (MIG, Stick, TIG), etc. I'm always as honest as possible. if I don't know the answer, I will tell them right out that I can't give them an answer. there is one guy that that always has to argue with anything I say, constantly trying to find a flaw in my logic or in the facts and trying to spin it so he's always right. when I point out the facts of the matter, he always comes back with, "That's how you feel." or "You're not listening to what I'm saying." I will again point out the facts but with more emphasis and directly relate them individually to the question at hand. the other morning he kept trying to "prove me wrong" about new hiring/transfer procedures, but kept failing miserably. he had me so annoyed I was about 6" from his face yelling at him to shut his mouth and open his ears. he wants to transfer from night shift to day shift, but has to fill out an application and will be considered along with anyone else who applies for a day shift welding position. there is no guarantee he will change shifts. he thinks it's on a first come first serve basis, after it was explained by the new ownership that it is not. this guy can hear just fine, but his listening skills are severely underdeveloped. I want to beat him with 20" stick of #9 rebar.
I put myself through college waiting tables and bartending...and for a year managing the front of house at a "casual fine dining" joint (yes, it is an oxymoron). I loved the first two hated the last except for the skills I picked up from the CIA trained Chef and Sous Chef when I had to cover for all he other flakes in the back of house (verses the flakes in the front of house).
Much like professional painters, I still wonder if the environment breeds the morons or the morons are attracted to the environment. That said, would go back in a heartbeat for the same money and benefits I have now.

I miss cooking. Its the only job I've ever had that it was acceptable to show up completely hungover and just knock out some killer food until it was time to go home and get wasted again. The dishwashers though, man those guys were shady... always eyeballing the food, being all sketchy in the walk-in.
I was a dishwasher for 2 years in high school. Fun, no stress job. But I was a least shady one there. I was surrounded by drug dealers and felons.

yesterday I went into the bathroom where we have 3 urinals. I stood at #1 another guy came in shortly after me and occupied urinal #3. While i was draining I farted in what felt like 2 days of built up pressure.
The guy next to me acted shocked and declared "excuse you".
I just let the aroma speak for me and left.
if I cant fart in the $hitter, where can I?

Anyway, one of my office mates just found G*d. She watches a daily bible/preaching session on her computer loudly, twice a day.
To each their own, but I think she has a master plan to "save me".
She should talk to the Dr Bob people, if I wont join that club, I aint joining Jebus!

Today is National Donut Day. I brought donuts (so did some others; donuts as rewards and punishments are part of our project's "culture"). She bitched me out for not bringing fruit. Why the flocc would I bring in fruit on National Donut Day? :smack: If you want fruit, YOU bring in fruit, lady.
People bring in snacks I choose not to eat all the time, it's never occurred to me to go bitch at them for being generous in a way I personally do not approve of...WTF.

I brought my friends a case of beer every Friday, until they started complaining about free PBR. Now they get to buy their own weekend beer, which usually consists of a couple 40's of Colt.

I didn't even know it was possible to complain about free donuts. Free donuts are the greatest. That's like complaining about free beer.

Hey man... PBR is mega cheap and you can't play Edward 40-Hands with them.
Hilarious! I've never seen that drinking game. But then, I usually don't drink foties.
Used to play Bullshiat in college. (**** language in linked article) We'd get wasted in a real hurry.

Man, now all of a sudden I want to play EFH. I haven't done that since high-school.

Last time I played it (grand champion 2 years straight) I face planted on the sidewalk trying to run outside. Ended up Edward Shardsofglass-Hands. I'm retired from that game. Thanks.

Only drinking game we ever played in College was "YOU CHUG"!
Which if you dont know the game or rules, you are over thinking it!
Then again we drank alot and were not that smart!
