  1. I thought of another one... This is a little over 20 years ago and I am working in restaurants. I had graduated massage therapy school probably six or seven months earlier and like the majority of massage school graduates, I didn’t end up doing it as an occupation. Waiting tables and freelance programming were paying the bills back then and offered an easier and less physically draining way to make money. It’s early on a dinner shift I’m working and two of the owners of the massage school come in and sit in my section. They remember me because I was a student not long ago and we exchange pleasantries. The whole chef craze thing is really taking off at this point in time, Iron Chef all that. Already I have seen the cold slap of reality hit people we have hired in the kitchen who have just graduated from chef school but never actually worked in restaurants before. I guess they didn’t really understand they would be scrubbing fryers, pulling up mats, and generally busting their asses a long time for low pay while being burdened with significant student debt from chef school. An awful lot of them didn’t make it. I guess this was all in my 20-something brain because it’s the only explanation for the shit that came out of my mouth next... The owners asked me if I was doing massage therapy and I said no. That really should have been the end of it but.... “No, I decided not to pursue massage therapy although it’s still a great skill to have. It’s kind of like a lot of these new kitchen people we have (gesturing to the open kitchen & people behind the line). Take this chef craze going on right now for example. Most of these students coming out of school right now have underestimated the grind & physically draining nature of the job. A lot of them won’t even be doing this a year from now. There are easier & more lucrative ways to make money than this and the people who are really profiting are the ones who own the chef schools. Kind of like massage therapy.”. They ate quickly in general silence and never came back again.
  2. It’s my first week at my current job and I’m still meeting people. My friend is talking to one of the forklift drivers and it’s noisy but as I’m walking up to them I ‘hear’ the driver say, “My wife (loud crash in warehouse) going on 10 years tomorrow.”. Thinking he is talking about their upcoming 10 year anniversary I say, “Oh, congratulations!”. My friends face goes blank & his jaw drops. The driver gives me a cockeyed look and says, “Congratulations?”. My friend is staring at me with his eyes wide open and I’m starting to get confused. I said, “Yeah, you said you & your wife are going on ten years tomorrow.”. His face expressionless he says, “No, she’s been gone 10 years tomorrow.”. there is an awkward silence which my friend breaks by saying, “Awwwkward.”. Even though it was an innocent mistake I still just wanted to crawl away.
  3. Whole Foods DP line of produce? 🤷‍♀️
  4. Man down. Broke the seal on 2021 last night but thank god I was by myself. It noticed it was a hot fart but it felt innocent enough. I didn't realize I'd greased one until I got up and felt that all too familiar slick between the butt cheeks as I walked. Went upstairs to calculate the damage and found this one stained the pants too. Be careful out there.
  5. It makes me wonder if he cooked his meals or guarded him while he slept.

  7. It’s sobering to think we would all be speaking Spanish right now if Santa Ana had just brought a couple more Expeditions to the battle of the Alamo.

  9. Yep. I also remember Butterkrust providing book covers. It was mandatory in my friend circle to mark over certain letters so they read, "Butt krust bread - made with real butt milk".
  10. Bartender friend of mine passed along this blacklist from an old job of his out in California. So many questions.... I definitely want to know more about the one legged man & also what exactly happens to Bruce if he has more than one drink 😆
