I may be at a job I increasingly don't like...

on a shit day on what should be a nice one seeing how it's before a 4-day weekend. But at least I don't work at one of those carts at the mall. Now that certainly qualifies as a shit job.

One time when I was up in Wellington I was with a bunch of friends and we split up half going to Subway, half going to KFC, the Subway was out of bread and KFC was out of chicken.

I need better stories.

The common reaction to this kind of situation is the best. When I worked at PF Chang's, we ran out of white rice. Every single customer asked, "How does that happen, this is a Chinese restaurant?" I should have replied "Exactly," or "We don't serve authentic Chinese food so we aren't really a Chinese restaurant," but I needed the job at the time. My inner-smart-ass was pleased that I could say, "Well, the brown rice is much healthier."

My wife wishes me to pass along her appreciation of your literary imagery. I wish to thank you that she doesn't wanna go see "Enchanted" now.

Very thankless. I worked at one for 9 years and at this time of the year it's the pitts. Especially when you need to clean the auditoriums and there are 10-15 fuckers watching every last credit at the end of the movie.

anyway...We ran outta popcorn at my theatre one year right on New Years Eve. We we're the only theatre in the city that had Chicago and Lord of the Rings: Two Towers. My god the lines were so long and I really thought the Asst. Manager was gonna start brawling with this ass-holish 45 year old guy who really had to have a kids pack.
