Okay, first off, a HUGE thank you goes out to animewatcha for being the coolest person around for setting my friend up a DA account, and that's after being awesome for setting yours truly up with one. He's the best, so go visit his DA page and smile at him and tell him he's supercool. Hey! Maybe I still have cake leftover from Zoroko giving me some. *Looks around guilty-like* And maybe not...L was there! We had to eat cake with L! I promise I'll share next time...*hangs head in gluttony-induced shame*

So. Go see animewatcha and tell him he's cool. Now. Go.

So, anyone out there involved in the service/ restaraunt industry? REALLY dislike working with the public somedays? Yeah, me too. I'm a happy corporate coffee whore for Starbucks, and yes, I enjoy my job...most days. But some days, I want to proudly wear my pin that says "I hope you choke on a biscotti!" pin and tell people where to get off. *sighs* Why do I have to be the nice one? Is it because I'm a manager? Or because I'm really a goody-two shoes PK (pastor's kid)? I feel a lot like Sakura from Naruto on these days,where she's all cheerful on the outside, but in her head, it's "Inner Sakura" who's a total bitch and proud of it...mmmmm, good idea for an art project....mmmm.....*runs to grab sketch pad to work out frustrations*

Does being a dishwasher for a Hotel come in as maybe a runnerup? With a boss (a chef) that is basically an idiot, seems to like to burn dishes (to the point it takes an hour non-stop to scrub it), gets other people to clean up after him (when he makes a mess like a grill needing to be scraped off of), has an accent that makes it hard to understand half of what he is saying (nothing against people with accents, but he doesn't seem to know that he is hard to understand), and lets drunk employees go ahead and work (instead of making them go back home) because he likes them. Combine that with a banquet manager that has seems to have an extreme dislike for dishwashers.
Oh most definitely that counts. I actually love my job very much, and compared to the hell that was waiting tables at Chili's, working for Starbucks truly is like heaven. I just had a REALLY bad day yesterday. But I love my job, hey! Free caffiene!!! Plus, I can say that I am a legal drug dealer for a living. Now that's just fun. But, I think that everyone should have to do something that involves waiting on the public (whether it's waiting tables, working at the mall during Christmas, working in a hotel, working drivethru, etc.) at least once in their life. It gives people a whole new outlook on the world. And as much as people suck a lot, working with the public is always entertaining, ne? I know that I NEVER want a "desk" job where I'm required to wear a suit and impress people with my 3.2 kids and white picket fence house and such. I'd much rather be a hippie for life! Yeah!*scratches head in confusion* Not quite sure where that mini soapbox came from...*dances happily back to Howl's Moving Castle art book*
