living in the lincoln continental....
if only i really lived in something as classy as a lincoln continental... i just have a roommate who wears a woman bathrobe, a drill sargeant, and someone upstairs just yelled "fine" and slammed the door. next thing i know there will be gunshots! but thats not what i wanna talk about.... let me tell ya about the cougareat. what a joy and pleasure it was to spend 4 quaint weeks there. i never got a food handlers permit, or got safety training, but yet no one seemed to notice! so that was really reassuring! also when it came to uniform time, they just reached into a bag and found my size and gave it to me. luckily one of my shirts didnt smell too bad.... and the hat... oh man that hat... i think its the worst part about working there. after you work your shift, you can still feel the after effects of wearing the hat, just reminding you of how low you've sunk. who knows if i have lice... i know they didnt spray that hat. so my first day, im putting fry sauce and lettuce on a bun and all the other employees are in absolute awe that i can handle the assembly so well on my own. for a second i thought i was working in the uvsc cafeteria... anyhow so as i keep on going on with my little foray into food service, i learned a few things. if a customer ever returns food becuase it wasnt prepared well enough, dont throw it away, put it under a heat lamp so david (names have not been changed) can eat it when his shift is over. also, i found that the more annoyingly you attempt to speak your mission language to customers and fellow coworkers, the less i like you. along with scoreboard, i worked at little tomas', or as the sign says "tomasittos". this was easier and more sanitary, but it had its downsides. one time i spilled a plate of biscuits and gravy.... dumb i know, but i cleaned it up. well my dear "crew supervisor" stopped at nothing to make sure that i was aware that i had spilled and was huffed and puffed the rest of the morning. i kid you not. i thought she was gonna get a daily universe and roll it up and swat me like a dog. but at least i got free "food" right? all i know is i have a lot of respect for the good people that take those jobs. i also dont have a lot of respect for the dumb people that take those jobs. anyhow that was a little bitter, and im not sure which one i am (good or dumb) but at least i get to wear a tie to work now!
