    I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be called baristas

    I'm with Janson.

    Hell, it wasn't so long ago that guys that served soda at a malt shop were called Soda Jerks.

    We should go back to that.

    A Barista should henceforth be called a Coffee Douche.

    My girlfriend works at the apple store

    their greeters are called 'concierges'

    their sales people are called 'specialists'

    their tech geeks are called 'geniuses'

    I called them 'douchebags'

    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    That's why I like working in an organization that's still stuck in the 19th century. No matter what position I end up in, I'm still going to be a librarian. None of this "information acquisition assistance specialist" bullshit.

    I want to apply for this lab tech job that I just heard about, but I think the appeal of wearing a lab coat will wear off quite soon when I realize I never get to leave the lab.

    You'll just have to keep upping the stakes to stop getting bored, then move on after a month of working in nothing but a labcoat

    tell me alllllll about your job

    12:50 Friday night.
    We are all ready to close up. Three dudes walk in.
    Do they want sandwiches? Yes, they want sandwiches.
    But they also want to fuck with us.
    They get their sandwiches. All the time singing the Five Dollar Foot Looooooong jingle, doing the hand gestures. Calling us by names clearly not on our name tags.
    They eat their sandwiches, continuing the jingle.
    It turns 1 o'clock. "Alright guys we're closing up."
    They pack up their sandwiches. Call us some rather choice names, then proceed to up end our chip rack and walk out the door.

    1 had a meat ball sandwich. Which meant we had to take the meatballs out of the retarder and warm them up. Parmesan, oregano, olives.
    1 had a tuna, lettuce, olives, onions, oil, vinegar.
    1 had a turkey, lettuce, tomato, onion, peppercini, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper.

    I work for a large university, get paid weekly... Always at midnight between Thursday and Friday.

    This week? No money for some reason?

    I go in to work and call down to payroll, the woman there tries to tell me that no staff worked for the week ending the 3rd so, no pay. I pointed out, "Actually, no, we get statutory holiday pay for that... Also, I worked on the 3rd as well. I was supposed to get 14hours of pay in this check."

    This is the same woman who does this calculation on a regular basis: 8 hour shift - 0.5 hours break (which I don't get to take because it is scheduled that we only have 2 people working during my shifts and have to have a minimum of 2 people working at all times) = 4.5 hours.

    Anyway, so this woman, whose ONLY job is to make sure staff get paid for the work that they do, then proceeds to tell me that she 'doesn't have time for this shit' and hangs up on me. God I love unions.

    Um, I'm not a lawyer, but couldn't the university get in big trouble for this? Shouldn't you just threaten them with a legal suit and get them to pay up immediately?

    Probably, but they'd probably just tell me to piss off because who would really start a lawsuit over $140, against a university with a team of crazy ass lawyers, when it probably will just mean my paycheck will be delayed by a week. I mean, I'm sure its illegal, because it clearly dictates in the contract that I'm to receive my pay on a weekly basis, and they've admitted that this pay cycle is supposed to be for a time that I worked.

    Anyway, next week I'm calling down again, if shes a bitch and doesn't have it all straightened out (as in, money due last week + money due this week on my next paycheck) I'm calling her boss's boss's boss and talking to him about it. If he doesn't straighten it out, It's coming out of the safe.

    Well...

    There's the fact that he's going to a WWE event.

    Or the fact that he's from West Virginia

    Or the fact the he has no taste in delicious foods.


    I believe these are all culminating factors that serve to answer the question.

    I have a job interview at the Museum of Natural History tomorrow.

    My dad's all pissy with me because I don't want to cut my hair. He said "I'm setting myself up for failure."

    I can't wait till I can finally move out.

    Its not hippie long. I just look like a member of the Beatles when they first came to the states if I put my hair a certain way.

    But I don't want to spend the money on cutting it an inch or two.

    on one hand I have been behind the scenes at that museum and the people aren't exactly the pinnacle of cleancut professionalism.

    on the other hand i'm sure they fucking cut their hair before their interviews, cut your hair dickbag.

    I think this is one of my major regrets in life: I have never had road head. We were playing a game of 'I Never' at my old bar after hours and I shocked the shit out of all the female co-workers. They seemed to consider it some sort of moral imperative.

    It's not all it's cracked up to be. You tend to either try to ignore the blowjob so you don't get into an accident, or focus on the blowjob because you're getting a fucking blowjob.

    Fair enough. I'll stick to getting head at home. Or in a bathroom stall at a seedy rave from someone who is hopefully female and of age. Or behind the Olive Garden's dumpster. Or at your mom's house.
