Hey, it turns out that you can send back a plate every time you visit a restaurant and we won't kick you out. EVERY DAMN TIME. You have a problem with you food. But this time[/] you got verbally abusive with the staff and were loud and belligerent enough to make other customers complain about YOU. So, yeah, we fucking want you to leave now. Please fucking leave and never come back.
Take the trash out with you.
Thanks.

… make sure you use the good old credit card to rack up the debt so you can complain about it year-round.
I wish this was a joke but it is the number one answer I get as a waitress when I ask, cheerfully(and rhetorically, by the way, you waitress doesn't actually care, I just want your tip money) "Are you ready for Christmas?" I will never understand how people do this. My grandmother, my mother, and myself have always tucked away a little bit of money each week over the course of the year to avoid this. CHRISTMAS HAPPENS EVERY YEAR. IT'S NOT GOING TO NOT HAPPEN. It's not going to get less expensive unless you want to be like my dad and go all Jehovah's Witness, we don't celebrate holidays around here, on people.

I didn't get any of you anything.
But as I am spending the whole day with family, I thought I'd drop in and be the first one to say it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Yule/Solstice/Hanukkah/Christmas/Kwannza/Whateverthefuckyoucelebrate/It's fucking cold outside let's get warm Holiday!

Probably. Sadly. But probably.

And the world is constantly working on new and better idiots.
I once jokingly said in mixed company that there should be a test required before a couple could have children. One young woman of uncertain intelligence looked me dead in eye and with great venom spat, "The only people who could possibly think that was okay are people who are sure they would pass." I looked at her in silence for a long time as those around us agreed or disagreed. We held eye contact for a long time. It never occurred to her what she had just implied.

I feel for you though. Endless BS every day.
I fucking love my job. I have tried office jobs. I have worked in other fields. I always circle back to restaurants and hotels. I absolutely love my job. It's a living petri-dish of human nature that any writer would pay good money to observe. Except the petri-dish pays me.

You came in two hours before your shift and you said you couldn't work because you had MRSA. We said, okay, where's the doctor's note so we know when you can come back to work. You said, you didn't have one. We said, go get one, we need to know when you can safely come back to work.
You then showed up for your shift after saying you had an open sore from MOTHERFUCKING MRSA. And you were shocked when we said, yeah no, where's the note that says you can work. BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT FUCKING MRSA. IN A RESTAURANT.
You said, don't have it, didn't have time. But it's okay you can work. We said, no you fucking can't. You have time now, you ain't working, go get one. You were actually surprised
You said you had motherfucking MRSA. This is a fucking restaurant. We serve people food here. They bring their vulnerable nubile offspring here. Elderly eat here. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I got to be the only person I know who didn't like Edge of Tomorrow. So I guess I'm the minority report.

hackess.slack.com didn't work so I gambled on geekery.slack.com and won, but I'm too much of a coward to sign in without being sure it's you guys.

WoW mostly, but I will confess to being mostly inactive due to work schedule and writing. Legion is still fun, though.

It does include blind button mashing and zero mouse/mousepad usage.
And, since I'm not tech savvy myself, I can't say for certain, but I'm about 63% certain those hacking terms are just thrown in there willy-nilly, because they sound cool.

I can't tell what it is exactly that puts me off.
My mother loves it. Watches it religiously.
I might just nitpicky, but I can't get over how unreal all of it feels. It feels like a thirteen year old girl wrote it. Especially if you watch it from the perspective of the waitress being the main character. Then it's really bad, like, teenage girl, confused erotica, bad.
Watch it for yourself though, form your own opinions. I was just hoping for a healthy debate or two to try and put a finger on what exactly it is that puts me off it.

I just can't suspend my disbelief for any of it. And my disbelief usually has amazing suspension.
I can't decide if it's blatant disregard for reality.
Or just shitty writing.

Ok another one... when you're on a treadmill and there's about 50 of them and a plethora of them are open yet someone takes the one right next to you. Seriously? That's like taking the urinal right next to someone when there's like 20 other free urinals.
That person is secretly racing you. Crush their dreams.

We were so close to having the first female president and we had the wrong woman nominated for the job.
This. Exactly. Exactly this. I was so excited and then I saw who the nominee was and my heart just sank.

Dear Miss That Eyeshadow Looks Good On No One,
I'm sorry you aren't a high end wine drinker. I would apologize that my waitress didn't filter the sediment out of the bottom of that Merlot bottle for you, but the mere fact that you didn't know sediment was even a fucking word shows me that you have no fucking clue what you're drinking. So please stop bitching about my ten-year-old barrel aged house Merlot and go to Food Lion where you get your cardboard box, alcoholic grape juice in a plastic bag drivel.
Also, if you really want to take my $18 crystal glass to have it "tested", you are definitely being charged for it.
Thank you sincerely,
The person in this arguement who actually drinks wine

I can appreciate the difficulties of your past,
The turn and twist and flow of your first,
Your middle, your crisis, escalation, resolution, last,
Your reason, logic, and I even understand your curse.
We've come to some kind of terms,
An unspoken agreement that we should
Just stay this far apart to avoid hurt,
Just avoid connecting even if we could.
You gave me some really good things.
You gave me waves and balance and hope.
You gave me money for the cinema and
an appreciation for the broader scope.
You gave me some really good things.
You gave me an inherit mistrust of smiles,
of the lies that are told to keep up appearances.
You gave me the discerning eye and all the while,
You taught me really important things.
I learned to stand up because of you.
I spoke up, I raised my fist, I stiffened my upper lip,
I held my head high, all because of you.
You were the resistance that sharpened my edge.
You were the wind that strengthened my roots.
You were the precipice upon which I learned to cling to a ledge.
You were the forced words when I was rendered mute.
I have you to thank for who I am.
Only you, no one else, for shaping me,
Into the warrior who looks at the sand
and thinks, sure, it's not the worst it could be.
But I would have liked to be weak.
I would have liked to rest against you.
I would have liked shelter and a break.
I would have liked to know what love looks like too.
And in the end, I'm okay, I get it.
The final resolution, I didn't turn out that bad.
And hey, it's over.
But really, fuck you dad.

This story did not turn out like I thought it would. But three whole fucking years later, I finished it. It's needs a lot of work still, a little bit of editing and some bloating, it's very much a skeleton story at the moment. But it's done.
And it's still a better love story than War and Peace by Dostoyevsky.
