Today's Earworm

Happy Birthday to the United States Army, hooah!

This is why I wish I could OC at work

I encounter people like this fairly often.

This is our culture. You can treat the guy behind the counter however the hell you want. If he DARES stand up for himself, he's rude, and he's fired. He'd better stand there and take it. Or else. Thank you, Sir, may I please have another?

They say that the customer (I can't say guest any more. My guests have manners.) is doing us a favor by gracing us with his presence and spending his money there and we should be effusively grateful. If you ever have a server or cashier who acts like he is doing YOU a favor by putting up with you? He is. And he gets minimum wage for doing so. Win fucking win. Lets see you do that Mr. and Mrs. Corporate Nobility.

I have put up with crap like that for 13 years. This is why I am a bitter asshole. DW says I shouldn't be. I should love them like Christ. I can't. And I have to keep taking it to do my part to feed my family.

I also don't think I can get a better job. Like Larry Corriea says, "The problem is you." I'm tired. I'm burning out. I hate people. Actual, honest to God HATE. The problem is me. I am defeated.

Even servants have dignity. Sort of. I hate my life. I am the world's Toilet Paper.

I wonder if it's the same guy...

I just saw a truck go down my street with personalized plates that say LAWDOG.


I may be about 100 yards from an intarwebs legend, if so.

UPDATE 11JUN18392013: JayG says, "Nope" on the Facebook'emDano.

Dear Mexico:

You are holding a United States Marine.  

Government/Cartel. Same same.

Do the words, "From the Halls of Montezuma," ring a bell?

Marines are known for never leaving a comrade behind.

You know, we could always make Texas bigger.

And they wonder why we pulled her out of school

We just got the yearbook from her school..

They had a page celebrating the "National Honar Society."

Way to confirm our decision!

*Facepalm*

Thou shalt not make any overtime

So the other day, one of my bosses asks me to come in for a split shift. I do, and then I wind up working later than expected. Like an additional 5 hours. Overtime, right?

I then wind up with an extra day off.

Sigh. Well, it's not like I was promised any extra.

OTOH, a couple of you hit the Donate button, so thank you! I'm glad my little corner of the internets brings you some value, and that you're willing to help me out. I will be sending thank you e-mails shortly.

I might actually have to publish something smaht, now. Gotta earn my keep.
