I've been thinking a lot lately about the gender dynamics in AA. I assume it applies more or less to all fellowships/addictions, but I'll stick to AA. I've got a few different topics that fall under 'gender dynamics in AA' so I'll start with one ( Read more... )

I finish up next Friday. It's been a long time coming, and the final straw was my boss having a go at me because he wanted dishes done and tables cleared at the same time... petty, I know, but it's part of a long history where he pulls me off one task to do another, then gets angry that the first task isn't done. There's a lot of other stuff, too ( Read more... )

Look, I'm a waitress. I work odd hours and I'm used to be woken up. However, when you know I'm sleeping, there are pretty much two rules to shaking me awake:
1) The Apocolypse is coming.
2) Ani/Tori/Sarah is coming.

This also applies to me reading. If those two rules don't apply, leave me be.

XXOO Me.

We have a regular, a middle-aged man who orders 'xyz... and a smile'. It was kind of amusing the first time, but he does it every. single. time, and he doesn't do it to the boss, so I assume he only does it to women. And yes, I realise that you have to have a certain friendliness and approachability in hospitality, but what does he want, a clown's

I just realised I'd been with The Hathor Legacy for close to ten years now. Not that I'm sorry to have been involved with such an awesome group of women for such a long perios of time, but, well, time sorta flies when you're having fun...

The reason I bring it up is that one of the people on my Books on Wheels route is a wheelchair user - everytime I've met him he's in his chair. (And, incidentally, he's has the friendliest dog ever. This boy took about two seconds to liking me ( Read more... )

A library assignment is to create a subject heading for a book abough Incan socieety pree- Spanish invasian. I looked about Inca, Ancient, even Spain, to not avail. I've since thought of Aztec, Mayan and Peruvian. Anyone got any other ideas?

I was talking to one of my co-workers, A, who had applied three times for a job at the cafe. (This isn't unusual - our boss is REALLY slack at looking over resumes and chances are, yours will end up in a pile of twenty that gets tossed after the drawer becomes too full.) The first time, she had handed it to a girl who she said was slim with dark ( Read more... )

I was listening on the radio, the commentator was talking about his girlfriend ordering Chinese from a chain place. When he got there, they had no record of the order, and he verbally abused the staff for a few minutes before realising he had the wrong outlet, it was another restauarant within the chain that the order had been placed at. He then ( Read more... )

I'm hungry; make up your mind what you want. Just freaking pick something so I can go and have my sausage sandwich.

Oh, and the customer that also wanted a sausage sandwich while I was a till slave for half an hour and the cook used the one I had put down for myself and I had to put down another: you suck. Bet you wouldn't like it if customers kept ( Read more... )
