well first off please don't tell me my head is about to explode, that would probably not help with my job at all

Ah, the good old BWA region. They were a rowdy bunch at the McDonald's Peak Fest '09 this year in Orlando, Florida.

...You guessed it. I'm a general manager of a McDonald's restaurant in the Philadelphia region.

i apologize but i cant tell if you're being serious or screwin with me. im a newer employee so i dont know about a peak fest '09

Stupid Sexy Flanders was the first book i ever really read. i had trouble reading when i was little. my mom would read me goosebumps when i was like 3. who does that to a 3 year old child? anyway when i did finally start reading it was Stupid Sexy Flanders. and i devoured it. every page. and i loved it. i had a huge crush on hermione. i wondered when harry's testicles would finally drop and he'd become a man. his first kiss i was spasming in excitement. every quidditch match was pure awesome. i loved the quidditch world cup series. and then i grew older. and it grew more mature. so it grew up with me, and as it got darker i got more cynical and jaded and everything was dandy until book seven. worst disappointment i have ever suffered from a book. the beginning held promise. the middle was boring. the end was anti-climatic. but i always held hope for what came AFTER Stupid Sexy Flanders. i always imagined rowling creating this whole new revolutionary series/universe for me to immerse myself in and grow into adulthood with. i still hope she does.

drive-thru can be good and bad, like i said the way the customers act make or break the day. another thing to remember is that fast food workers don't have one job to worry about, we have to multi-task. and im not trying to complain, i know other people have more stressful jobs out there. but a lot of the time when im taking money and orders im also washing dishes (which exist in surprisingly large amounts). i wouldn't want to be a waiter though with the shit they put up with. i think drive-thru customers can be bad but they leave after you give them their money. sit-in restaurant customers are there for much much longer.

oooh! Heart of the Assassin comes out next week. Anyone who likes awesome, cinematic, suspensful, action packed, stories with interesting characters and a thought-provoking plot should check out Prayers for the Assassin and Sins of the Assassin by Robert Ferrigno. truly an awesome series.

anyone plan on seeing the G.I. Joe movie? it looks kinda cheesy but the director made the Mummy and that is an all time favourite.

i bet your'e a polite customer, some manners go a long way to minimum wage workers. i don't give a damn if mcdonald's makes an extra dime but if a customer is nice and pleasant then i see to it that they get the same treatment

i enjoyed snow crash a lot but it wasn't quite as epic as i had hoped for. granted it was unique and funny. i've read about anathem and i can't understand what it's about. i also wanted to check out the diamond age and cryptnomicon but i wasn't sure if they would be over my head. i am really getting into dune, i usually prefer more recent sci-fi but i figured that like snow crash it was one of those geek classic literature books. i think after dune i may check out isaac asimov's foundation series, i hear a lot about that as well.

not all mcdonald's are like that. granted most are. there is one 5 minutes from my house with terrible, inefficient, impolite service. but i choose to drive 15 minutes to get to the one i work at. its smaller but much better service. not everyone is great but for the most part we get paid to work so we work. i just have to complain about the people who spend half an hour sitting at the order board deciding what they want and back up the whole line making other people wait. polite customers get polite service. rude assholes get rude asshole service.
