Pretty much this.

No one wants to be a manager in the service industry. That's something you get stuck with for whatever reason and now you don't have any better options, but it's more money than continuing to eat **** as a grunt so you do it. You can't tell me you truly wanted to be a manager of a thrift store.

Oh no no, you're exactly right. But I also felt it was a good resume booster. I've been able to include "management training" and other great things as a result. That's more important to me than anything.

When I was a kid I used to shovel driveways for the elderly neighbors on our block. (back in New England) I always did a pristine job to the point of lining up the edges so they matched. Kinda messed up in hindsight but I always got great tips, and now I'm the last man standing in a company that 2 years ago had almost 40 employees.

Bottom Line: Give 100% passion and commitment to everything you do in life, whether it's shoveling snow, building the perfect Whopper, having sex, or debating with Frowny.

I've shoveled my fair amount of snow also, but it was free and my dad would have kicked my ass if I asked for a dime. I hate to see any small business fail in California, conglomerates seem to be taking over the Universe. Pretty soon we're gonna end up going to Starbucks to get a haircut and watch a movie with our Latte.

What is it with you not wanting to hold other people accountable? These people are taking hours away from other employees who do care and do work. No thanks, if you wanna be useless then stay the fuck home.

Found out from my friend that he disappeared for three months because he went to jail. I figured he either got institutionalized or died due to his drug use, so that's kind of a relief I guess? I don't know any of the details of his arrest yet.

I don't know what's going on in the life of the slacker maybe his gf just dumped him and he's not feeling it

today I pick up your slack and maybe tomorrow you pick up mine I'm not keeping score

But what I don't want is a race between my fellow workers to see who's the best at offering themselves up for exploitation
I agree with all of this, ofc life gets in the way sometimes. I have days where im less productive than id like to be. I was talking about the consistently lazy *******s (i thought you were too).

In my experience they go hand in hand. The lazy people complain instead of working or about having to do stuff that "isnt their job". If i had to choose between the two ill take the lazy person who doesnt say a word over the miserable idiot who makes everyone elses day suck.

Found out a few hours later that Udo cancelled the show! Sucks for the people that bought tickets, but if he re-schedules I'll have a chance to hit that **** up now, ****in' A.
