Here's how you ruin someone's college graduation

You begin with working at a restaraunt that has too many reservations

Thats how you prepare them for the real world.

Joy will be sucked from your life by unending bureaucracy
Any surprise or event that you look forward to will be unintentionally ruined by well meaning people.

Learn to belly up to the bar and go to bed with disappointment in your gut.

I should right for Hallmark.

Dream out loud

As my 10th grade history teacher and Bono always told me... "Don't let the bastards grind you down."

Also, when stressed, you can just think of my userpic here- my brother and I enjoying ice cream at my grandma's house on a sunny summers day will get you right.

Excuse me

Your optimism is taking away from my reply. My gloomy sentiment was here first, I demand you delete your reply.

see I made your point for you- you can thank me later over beers.

People really do need someone to blame.

You know Mandy, I have been thinking about going back to waiting tables lately because my job also sometimes makes me want to kill (is it doubly mean to want to kill people that may already be dying?) Anyway, it's stories like these that make me not go back to the food service industry. Also, the cake was not a surprise, if it were a surprise she would have told you ahead of time because she would not have wanted you to ruin the surprise. She's a fucking liar that wanted to make the person who, ironically, had nothing to do with the wait, feel even worse. When you think about it, even if the cake was a surprise, how excited can a college graduate, who has probably experienced things a lot more euphoric than a friggin cake in his four years of school really get over a friggin cake?
