Isn't someone trying to take the Irish government to the high court over it?
Some charlatan that claims to be a nutritionist or something like that, from what I remember.
ha, the company that contacted me a while back but gucked up setting up an interview (their HR person called and asked why I wasn't there and I was like, uh, you never scheduled it?)wants to speak to me again. It's for a senior engineer position but I'm not particularly excited about their product line. It is kind of weird being so heavily pursued right now. Not sure I should keep flirting with these companies. I don't wanna break any hearts.
give zero shits play them all off against each other u r in the rare position of being the rare commodity

(basically you have programmed "patches" in DMX so that they point in a specific direction / move in a certain way, but then you still have to "play" them with the music)

These are one and the same.
In hindsight, that was a tautology.

so i went to the soft open for a new spot in my hood
the people there running it were super nice and upbeat and i want them to do well
and it LOOKS absolutely great, very contemporary ny feel
but i went out to eat with my buddy who's a chef
and it was just so awkward
it's like it's being run by people who have never actually worked in a restaurant before
so while there was stuff that you expect to happen on opening night, like pos communication problems, serving stuff to the wrong table, etc etc
there were many little things like the oysters improperly shucked and served in an oyster tin without ice or salt and no mignonette, even though they big emphasis seems to be cocktails and oyster bar, no food runner (the cooks were running the food themselves), and having just a bizarre cocktail list -- who has creme de menthe as in ingredient in TWO of your ten cocktails?!
so the manager/owner came over once he found out we were in the industry and we didn't have the heart to really tell him all this stuff. i just gave him my email and said to shoot me an email any time he wanted some feedback
i really hope he doesn't email me though...
How insane do you have to be to open a restaurant without ever having worked in a restaurant before?
Im a dumbshit and I know that would be a guaranteed bad time.
the desire to wish ones problems away is problematic in that you somehow just hope they will disappear instead of doing things to make them disappear/address them
making them worse

was in bed for 9 hrs last night but still a bit fuzzy from sleeping pill and 1 night of good sleep is not enough to alleviate much sleep deprivation

People dream of opening a restaurant, and don't realize just how cutthroat the field is.
i know you want to pay people a fair wage and it's really shitty
but hire some fucking immigrants, dogg
It sucks, but you're putting yourself at a distinct disadvantage by not hiring people off the books.
I thought illegals in the back house got better than minimum wage, though.

Basically everyone who wants to own a restaurant should be forced to watch a season of kitchen nightmares.

Fluoride is a tough one because there have been some troubling studies but even trying to look into it at all means you'll quickly find yourself through the looking glass of pineal gland calcification and martian reptiles.

the worst part about quinoa is the way it is spelled
i have taken to pronouncing it phonetically as passive protest when my wife makes it
it's like i'm repoopulating a society

if you haven't already put a good five or ten years on the front lines in the business, you're basically going to fail
