I was gonna say...is that Glenn Danzig?  :lol:

He's still a douche, but that picture is awesome.    :lol:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm still surprised he was never cast as Wolverine, esp. during this mutton chops phase.

It's -12°C plus windchills outside. And I have to do my weekend shopping. Ugh.

I am 95% sure my schedule was changed before I came in this afternoon so that I have to work tomorrow morning.  Do not want.

Today sucked.  Peeling potatoes for two hours hurts like a motherfucker, but at least I didn't slice my hand open like I used to.  I'm pretty sure I was made to do it as a punishment, as the boss got mad because I was throwing out lettuce that had turned brown, in significant enough percentage to make my job take ten times longer due to picking out the rotten bits, i.e. making a decision and doing my job properly in pursuance of providing a quality to product to our customer.

OK, also partially because after twenty years of school I feel that my time is more valuable than to waste it individually examining every fucking shred of lettuce in a twenty-seven cubic foot box.  BOTH ARE APPLICABLE.

Applied to equal opportunity employment specialist job in Virginia tonight; will send resumes to temp agency tomorrow.

P.S.: does the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau even exist, really?  They have three job openings, all for jobs beyond my qualifications (GS-13 it looks like).  The CFPB should have been the DHS of our time. :(

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET PAID TO DO.

See, this is why you never hire the over-educated.  They think they know better than their bosses.

But at the rate you're selling it for, examining the lettuce and trying to salvage what you can is more cost-effective than tossing it out.

No, I get paid to make food for customers in a timely and efficient manner.  Presented with an obstacle to that overriding goal, I overcame the obstacle.  My education only helped me see this fundamental truth.  Also, I barely get paid anyway, so meh.

Anyway, he got some Latino guy to make shitty salads out of the shitty lettuce and probably fifty people noticed and are now annoyed that their salads had brown spotty lettuce in them, not so bad as to complain, just mentally mark my restaurant as lousy and low-class.  And believe it or not, I do actually care about my product.

Yeah, I do know better than some Greek fuck.  This is the same guy who told me leave salads with meat on them out in the open air until they were sold, because the fridge would make them too cold.  Do you trust the judgment of a man who has does not understand the germ theory of disease or the term "danger zone"?

You're overlooking how time-sensitive restaurant operations are.  You're also overlooking the fact that, due to how lettuce is, it's nearly impossible to sort out bad from good in a ~100% effective fashion, in any sort of realistic timeframe.

Sometimes I regret opening up my inner life to you people.  I had a good reason to justify my baser motivations.  Jeez, relax.

That's easy. Good Lettuce entertains you with talk about Being the Little Girl. Bad Lettuce encourages depressed people to use firearms.
