It’s called reading. Pick up a book - and then have a conversation about it with other interesting smart people. ;)

Someone needs a hug.

I wish the shadow of this bird was in frame.

Completely agree. It’s ok to make crisis for yourself or to put in as much time as you like to further your own career, but if someone is on salary and not sharing in the profits you can’t expect to inflict your own pain on them unless that’s part of the job made clear up front.

I tip - and generally tip well (20%+ on the bottom line), but this [”but if I don’t fuck up, and you give me 10%”] triggers what I hate about a tip-dependent industry. Why should I have to pay you more than some arbitrary amount (is 15% enough, does it have to be 20%? do I tip on the alcohol if there’s a single bottle…

The SO that stands by I can pity - they’ve fought worse fights that any single wait staffer has to deal with that they’re just worn down and thankful its not them. Why they continue to be with such a person is beyond me - but in a relationship going/gone south, the SO is just happy not to be the target.

Why not? These are great series - they should do them for a whole slew of industries - restaurants, car sales, IT support, dropping cable, sleeping with your mom, finding renters/roommates, etc - basically anything that we've all universally experienced and have frighteningly funny stories and life lessons.

She should pretty much own that restaurant after a lawsuit.

So you stiffed tax and tip?

I'm pretty sure (ie pray to god) that he misinterpreted this as langostinos, the little lobsters.

"...when I was very young. Maybe this was like a 90s thing?"

All I learned by watching (a fair portion of) that video is that Pavement has been relegated to playing birthday parties for toddlers. That's the real shame here.

In this case, I hope you never boil over soup and then have to iron your clothes leaving black char marks all over them.

Larry Ellison pissed away twice the much just to have his boat win the America's Cup. You need to re calibrate your definition of tall dollars in the corporate/celebrity/heads of state realm. The new standard is billions, not millions.

You - she definitely got the job. You think the guy twice her age is her husband? Wake up! :)

Damn you Al Qeada! Damn You!

You mean they want you to do a good job? For money?
