Taking a break…
Maybe not getting any questions for you this week was a good thing..
I need to chill..
i will be back with a better house..a better world hopefully..a graduated teenager..
i have no idea where i am going or how long i will be gone..
but i need the break..
till then.. enjoy George Barnett’s new single “Bewitched”
which we listened to on the way to see snow patrol last week..
this song blows me away.. and once again reminding you he played all the instruments himself.. i am glad he chose this as a single.. Been playing it a lot lately..
maybe it will help me get through this slump.. it’s helping my mind in other ways..
I am very Tired today. I layed in bed last night praying for the sleep that evaded me.. Then had to get up early to drive Maia and her art project to school.
She decorated a chair..All with music through the ages.. All British music. And the best was George Barnett was right in the middle.. I think Maia has a crush.. George’s Facecrack
Now on to the question part of the blog…
Once again we bring along the fine talents of one Marty Wombacher. MARTY!
As usual I make Marty go first!
Questions
There’s been a technical breakdown in the universe..all
cellphones,landphones and tv are not working.
People are wandering around aimlessy without little iphones to tell
them what to do.
Do you?
a. kick your mac cause you have no access to porn, youtube and your blog?
b. follow them all around and take pictures for when the blog is back
up and running?
c. go to a bar and wait it out.
That would be c. and I would also hope that it would never come back. I’ve always secretly hoped the internet and cell phones would somehow vanish.
You have exactly 1 dollar and you are starving..
Mcdonalds has a mcrib for a dollar exactly And the crappy dollar pizza
and hot dog places are walking distance..
Do you a. hot dog
b. pizza
c. mcrib
d can of beer in a bag
First I’d go to the big market on 14th street that always has free samples, eat till I’m thrown out and then I would do d.
Good questions! And now here’s Marty’s to me!
If there was a switch that you could turn the internet off, cell phones would vanish and no one would ever remember that it existed, would you flip it?
Never.. I enjoy my cellphone and the freedom it gives me. I love the internet to a point as it brought me some very important people in my life I wouldn’t have met without it.
If you had to choose between going blind or going deaf, which would you choose and why?
That’s a tough one.. I’d choose Deaf.. I would read the lyrics and know the song in my head as much as it would kill me.
I could never be blind.. I am deathly afraid of bugs and I need to see where they are in my world to avoid them. I would be afraid of what my caretaker would dress me in and I am just that vain enough to make sure my hair looks good at all times.
I also would never eat.. I’d be afraid of what I was eating..
Have you ever picked lint out of your bellybutton and then smelled it?
I am not sure I ever had lint in my bellybutton…
I’m sorta a clean freak and scrub my bellybutton out like crazy..
So there ya have it!
Bonus time…
I took Maia to the Stray Dog on Sunday and she had the Baked Potato stuffed with cheese and steak!
Thought I would share and make you all hungry!
OK long ass weekend…
I started my blog on Friday and actually trashed it.. So many spelling errors I gave up checking them..Been in a crappy mood.
Today is better.
I have ice cream
It’s from an ice cream place in Holland Michigan called Hudsonville. Flavor cake batter. Yummy…..ICECREAM…..Feed me
Ice cream makes everyone happier.
So does meatloaf… we are having that for dinner.. With Oreida mini tator tots and lots of fucking gravy.. Not just any gravy but fucking gravy! With caramelized onions.
I like meatloaf so much we have meatloaf Mondays.
It really does make me smile as much as ice cream.
OK
Back to the subject at hand..Watched moves this last week.. and they both bit..Spy Kids4 and something with dogs..
Last nights “Once Upon A Time” really kicked my ass… really….BUT…..
I have a special weekend edition for you…
The logistics were majorly fucked up..And the plans went awry…BUT….
Saturday was Snow Patrol at the Aragon..
We hit the highway at roughly 5:30…As it’s a good hour and half to Uptown. We listened to random snow ptrol songs on the way there but as we crossed the line that says Welcome to Chicago we made sure that Kill Hannah’s “Welcome to Chicago(motherfucker)” was playing.. And the best part is it ended right as we pulled to the Skyway toll plaza.. Where we pay too much to cross the city quicker. I prefer to drive through the bush ..HA!
I might be a bad parent but Maia does song along..
The rest of the trip was us on lake shore drive calling home to check on the kids.
The kids begging to go back on Sunday for the mummy exhibit.
Talking about the ferry that sunk in 1918.. the usual lake Shore drive talk.. Me telling them it’s gonna take me a lot to get on the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier.. I so fear those things.
We got to the Aragon shortly before 7.. OK I might have drove faster than Google maps tells me too.
And of course Uptown for the girls means a trip to Starfucks. We don’t finish the coffee really but after pies and brownies and cakebites we are off to check out the opening act at the Aragon.
OK Imagine Ron Weasley of Harry Pooter fame.. As an irish wanna be white might be trying to rap a bit sucky single singer.. He really bit.. I was so bored.
After he was over Emily and Maia headed to their coveted front spots.. This time about ten people back from the stage on the right.
And of course Emily taxts me a pic of where they were at..
Good spots..
I found a nice spot on the left wall next to a couple of women who looked like I would totally enjoy watching the show with them.
I noticed a lot about this crowd.. Snow Patrol has a large gay following.. And Chicago lesbians are really hot..And the cute gay guy I stood by at Gotye with the cute little ponytail was there with a cute blonde girl this time.. Damn swinger.
A lot of pretty girls.. A lot of short boys.. A lot of Tall girls in general. And tall girls with flat asses in very high heels and skinny jeans spilling beer on themselves because they really couldn’t walk in those heels.
A few strange looking pugfaced girls.
But all around nice looking crowd.. Yet the only guys that checked me out were old and ugly. And the only girls that checked me out were masculine.. Kinda a bummer.. All the pretty lesbians and only the butch ones like me.
Then Snow Patrol hit the stage.. They opened with “Hands Open” which is one of my two fave songs by them. When they hit the line “Chicago Burst to life” the crowded waved in excitement.. Like a giant wave of screeching happy wheels and yays.
I love this day and age when you want to show someone something from a concert you look the next day on youtube and find videos people shot!
Watch for the crowd to go wild when they say Chicago!
And yes I loved this song before I moved here.
The show kicked some serious ass for the next almost 2 hours.
They let us know early on they were filming the whole night for an upcoming DVD. Which was pretty much the deal sealer for me.. I shared with my friend Mac on FB about that.. I wished he was there with me.. he had played them on woody for me that night telling everyone that is where I was without him!
Highlights being bring Ron Weasly out to sing “New York”
And “Chasing cars”.. Ok all the songs pretty much rocked.. you could understand everyword and it just was awesome.
They incorporate Chicago into this song too!
At this point my new friends from Madison, Wisconsin were making fun of the girls with the heels with me.. And doing the Ellen dancing behind people. Wish we taped ourselves doing it!
And of course I think they are singing to the “Twihards” on this one singing “we are glistening”
When they got to “Chasing cars” lovers all throughout the place sang to each other.. With kisses and hugs I felt it.. it made me really understand the songs magic…
No one recorded my fave part of the show..
When they did “You’re all that I have” I had tears in my eyes. That song always gets to me but not more than this night. It was pure magic.
“There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to”
Then they left the stage and came back for the encore.
They told the audience they were filming their new video for everyone.
It was pure energy.. then they ended the show with “Just say Yes”
Which set everyone free on a happy note.
The road home was uneventful.. with a strange homeless guy charging at my car being the only highlight of the after show…Well ya that was kinda weird actually.. He followed us to the car.. And when I told him to move through the locked door he swung his bag at us and started charging.. Then laughed.. I would have run his ass over and worried about him later.. Then after us he started bothering everyone in the lot.. I am not sure the cops would have came had we called or ran him over.
The Cubs won that day, The Hawks won that night and we had breakfast at the purple steer in Whiting..
I love the Purple Steer..
Oh we did see a car accident aftermath with a car down an embankment.. But no.. Nothing too much.. How the hell did anyone survive let alone run away?
Now I gotta get my meatloaf served..
It’s my classic recipe..
Follow this and you will love meatloaf too.
In a big mixing bowl put in a cup of chopped onions, a spoonful of horseradish, a dash of balsamic vinegar and a few splashes equal of Lea and Perrins Wuster sauce and Aloha Shoyu soy sauce.
Add some salt and pepper ,one egg, a cup of ricotta cheese and a cup of cooked rice.. I like to use the leftover rice from Saturdays Chinese food.Then add the ground beef.
Use gloves.. I buy the good restaurant kind.. Mix together.. My secret is to keep the hot water running in the sink and constantly rinse my hands so they don’t get cold and I don’t mix well.
Bake at 385 for 2 hours and the last 20 mins increase temp to 425 to sear the top.
I use an anolon meatloaf pan where the grease drips out.
For the gravy I cheat.. I use 1 package of McCormick’s brown gravy. I take 2 teaspoons of butter.. Real butter not the plastic margarine crap. I melt it in a frying pan and add a half of a cup of onions.. I cook in butter till they are caramelized. Then I add the gravy mix and water according to directions. I sometimes depending on what kid is eating with me add a can of mushrooms.
Then we eat…
For variety sometimes I fry up some green pepper with a can of tomato sauce then put them in the middle of the meatloaf with some fresh cheese.
Food is fun… don’t fear the food…don’t fear the comfort of the MEATLOAF!
Oh we’ve got music oh we’ve got music every…Thursday!!!
Today is music Thursday.. and yes I know I skipped the humping Wednesday but things have been hectic with all the work going on here..
So let’s just bounce right along with it now:)
Song of the week..
This song is so intense we played it not once but three times last Friday on my show! And again on Saturday.. And then again today!
It’s just good.. And it hits you right there.. Where you need it..
Read this on a pic of them and subsequent review.
”Music that’s only sold in candy stores.”
sweet and perfect!
The band is fantastic and new to the “SW” and my show..
I can see this getting a lot of airplay…
Of course I am taking tomorrow off to deal with all the house stuff!
So the next week you never know how many time it will get played! Cause WE DO WHAT WE WANT!
Which brings me to the Flashback video of the week..
Yeah so what … WE DO WHAT WE WANT!
Now I am sure that can classify as both humor and flashback..
But NOOOOOOO in my disturbed state I am gonna fuck with your pretty heads for my funny video of the week..
My basement is getting done first.. We had this planned for a bit but we moved it ahead of the insurance job to not lose our place in line with the painters..We can’t move to the bedroom till roof is done..
In my basement we have not one but two “Bad Ronald” rooms.
Bad Ronald was a 70’s film about a boy who lives with his doting mother. After he accidently kills the neighbor girl his mother helps him hide her body and then hides Ronnie in the crawlspaces and a boarded up section of the house. Basically a boarded up room that they walled in.
Then mommy dies.. Then the new family movie and at this point Ronald is nuts.. Or maybe he was before but he spies on them eventually killing and doing more mayhem..All in the name of love for the teenager daughter they have..
It’s a pretty fucked up movie and it has haunted me since I was a wee kid..
Well our Bad Ronald room is painted now and all pretty.. So where do we put a mentally disturbed small boy? HUMMMMMMM…
We don’t have one anyway.. So might as well use the room for other things…
I found a Bad Ronald Radiohead mashup…
Enjoy!
Now for the “Secret Weapon” lovelies..
It was a kick ass show as usual…
I have loved this song since I was a little club hanging on kid in the day…
They really rocked my world..
It was a pretty eclectic playlist.. And it really had a mind of its own..
Friday the “SW” will play 9-5 EST and on Saturday 10-2 EST
Thank you for listening responsibly!
So when marty sent me his questions for the question thingee this week I realized his questions were almost identical to mine..
So I thought it would be funny to ditch mine and answer the same with both of us..
Those keeping score at home it’s Tuesday and its Q and A with world famous blogger Marty Wombacher.
I really look forward to this cause we kinda can kick off each others heads so well.
And if it’s early enough in the day I might let him shoot an apple off my head with an arrow… Visit Marty HERE
HERE IS MARTY’S 2 CENTS
“Okay, but for the record I have to say you’re cheating by having me answer my own questions! JUST KIDDING! Good idea, here’s the answers:”
—————————
What food do you have to put ketchup on?
When I was little, I was a ketchup fanatic and put it on almost everything. As I grew older I got to like mustard better than ketchup and started putting A-1 sauce on my steaks and other meat entrees. However the two foods I have to put ketchup on are french fries and onion rings. Just not the same without the ketchup.
If a restaurant doesn’t have Heinz, will you use what they have?
If it’s Hunt’s or some lower form, I either leave or just don’t use the ketchup. The only other ketchup I would think about eating is if the restaurant makes their own, because that’s usually pretty good.
Which do you prefer on most sandwiches or burgers, ketchup or mustard?
As I said earlier, I used to put ketchup on all my sandwiches, hot dogs and burgers, but now I put mustard on all of those items. The only sandwich I still put ketchup on is a fried bologna sandwich. I haven’t had a fried bologna sandwich in a long time and now I’m hungry for one, with ketchup of course!
You have a vast musical knowledge, do you know of any songs about ketchup?
Okay, I admit I cheated for this one, I Googled “songs about ketchup” and found this:
A bit of a saucy song and video, isn’t it? Okay, I have to go now, I’m really running behind and I must, ketchup! Oof, sorry about that!
AND HERE’S THE GIDGE’S ANSWERS:
What food do you have to put ketchup on?
I like Ketchup on pork chops.. preferably shake and bake kind. And meatloaf.
And on burgers sometimes. Not much else these days. Oh yeah fries when I eat them.. which is rarely really.
If a restaurant doesn’t have Heinz, will you use what they have?
IF it’s not some weird made in china crap I might.. Usually at that point I will ask for a side of blue cheese or ranch for fries and a-1 for meat products.
Which do you prefer on most sandwiches or burgers, ketchup or mustard?
I don’t eat Mayo.. And usually Ketchup on burgers…
Mustard on all else..specially hot dogs…
You have a vast musical knowledge, do you know of any songs about ketchup?
OH do I ever.. One of my fave films of all time is “Straight to hell” From Alex Cox of “Repo Man” and Sid and Nancy” fame..It stars believe it or not Courtney love before she was famous and Joe Strummer. And the DA from “Medium”
Zander Schloss of the band the Circle Jerks who was also in “Repo Man” sings a great song in the film called “Salsa Y Ketchup”
Till tomorrow babies!!!
Cant wait for next weeks questions already this is sooo much fun!
This week will be a clusterfuck…But the bonus to it is I have to stick around the house which means MY WRITING WILL GET DONE.
The work is starting at the house..The work that was already scheduled before the damn roof job.. Basement painting and de-molding… then dining room.. Things we knew we had to do before the big graduation party…
I will keep you updated on the progress here…If I survive it all…
But for the time being by the end of this week I will have one big huge room in the basement and it will be a beautiful cool blue… It will also look friendly enough that when tornados blow through here we have a friendly room to hang out in down below..We are removing the wall between the two biggest rooms.. It was just a façade..I am really looking forward to the finished project… And I am really looking forward to being able to kick the kids out of my living room. Then I can watch movies on my TV.. Instead of in the bedroom..
This weekend We got the movies in.. Oh did we ever..
Our dear friend “Boris” recommended a film called the “Descendants” It wasn’t in at my local redbox..So by next weekend I hope to find it somewhere and see that..
Friday night I pulled my usual scary movie triple play…
This year it was “Poltergeists” one, two, and three.
I grabbed my day of the dead blankie Maia made me and a few comfy pillows and camped up in the middle of my bed to watch.
I was a young teen when I first saw the first of the trilogy.. I think maybe a freshman in high school. I saw it at the new theaters on Mowry in Fremont.. They were by the Gemco. I think they were called the Cinedome 6.. Don’t shoot me, I was 14…I can’t remember 14 too much.. My Neighbor took me and her little sister to see it. We sat up near the front and prepared to be scared and hopefully grossed out.
The movie starts out slow and happy.. You almost feel as if you accidently turned on “ET.” Then it starts to allow the creepy factor in.. By the time little Carol Anne says “They’re here” you’re hooked.
The movie would be a rated G film by today’s standards.. Not really scary, BUT I do watch it when it’s on as I totally love it..Even now that the effects are cheesy and things are done so much better today.. Maia was totally bored and went back to watching “King of the hill” downstairs.
But there are still jumpworthy scenes.. And classic lines.
I still say there is a bathroom scene in “Final Destination” that just couldn’t be without the classic face ripping scene in “Poltergeist 1.”
Those who have never seen it won’t care , It won’t mean much to them today.. But those who say it originally usually will argue it changed the way films were moving in its day. Led the way for big budget scary films.
There are a few cheesy stuff that I see now and go what the fuck.. Kinda like sex scenes in a Friday the 13th film.. Just put there for shock purpose. Continuity stuff.
Like when he goes back to his job to tell his boss to fuck off he stays there all day.. Why??? And they still have lamps and full bedding and some furniture even though the moving truck has already been by.. and hey about that moving van.. Wow they managed to get him to come awfully quick with no appointment time.. If they were supposed to leave when he comes home from work then why the hell is the mom getting her jammies on..Oh yeah cause we need a ghost rape scene for shock value…
Other than that you just gotta love everyday living with ghosts in your own backyard.. literally..
“Two” takes place one year later and the daughter is nowhere to be found.. The oldest one.. The one with the hickey on her neck in the first one.. Oh yeah she got murdered after the first one so let’s pretend we only have two kids now… hence the start of the “Curse”
Yes as the films went on it seems its co-stars were more than willing to join the “Ghost” ranks in real life.
We know it’s been a year cause they mention that when discussing the insurance company refusing to pay for a house that is only just “lost”.
This is my fave of the trilogies as it shows that fear they carry with them allowing them to be tested once again.
Again if you don’t know the films what I say will be irrelevant.
So let’s put it in layman’s terms.
First movie.
Family lives in a house for years.. Built in a subdivision the man sells other homes in. Like he is the developer I think.
As he climbs the ladder at his company he is offered another house up on the hill above where he lives. It is then revealed that houses once were on a graveyard but they moved it.
They have been having strange ghost problems and we know for sure it’s the graveyard by now.. They love the life of the five year old girl that lives there and then the ghosts kidnap her for her life blood.
The rest of the film shows that ghosts in numbers can do creepy things while everyone just wants to get the Carol Anne home where she belongs.
It starred the lovely JoBeth Williams and Craig T Nelson with a great smaller role going to Zelda Rubenstein.
In the second film we find out that it wasn’t the cemetery that did the haunting it was a religious sect below the cemetery that entombed itself.. The cemetery was built on top of them. They had a taste of little Carol Anne and want more so the sect leader’s ghost finds them and brings more trouble to the family.
Along the way they pick up an Indian named Taylor played by the amazing Will Sampson to help along with the mighty shorter woman Zelda Rubenstein from the first film.
The sect leader is played by the fabulous Julian Kane. He is so wonderful you find yourself singing his song that he sings through the film days after you watched it.
“God is in hiiiiiiissssssss Holy Temple”
You almost hope the sect leader gets the girl..
I loved this movie so much I saw it at least a dozen times in the theater and drive in when it came out.
It helps by adding a back story with a grandma and the cult followers and their demise. Not to mention you won’t be eating any worms in tequila for some time.
Unfortunately because of the curse Julian Kane and Will Sampson died before the film was even released. Julian Kane though did have cancer while he was filming it.. And his gaunt appearance showed that. Will Sampson on the other hand was only I think 53. I just think Will was a great actor having been in one of my fave films of all time “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest”
Now the third movie just sucks.. They find the girl in Chicago and terrorize the John Hancock building and a local mall.
People actually do die in this one as opposed to the other two and the creepy factor is replaced with b movie horror.. And it shows and it sucks.. I never make it past the hall of mirrors scene.
Curse factor of course is that Zelda’s mother died during the making of the film..So they had to write out a bunch of her parts. And the set caught fire and finally Carol Anne herself died before the film as done. Yes in real life.. Of surgery complications following a bout of Chrones disease and septicitus.
Very sad indeed.
It was however Lara Flynn Boyles first film..
But it really sucked..
Watch it for the fake ass non John Hancock tower scenes..
Also this weekend I did a 48 hour rental for Jack of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”
Now we discussed remakes last week.. And I want to be perfectly clear on this.. This is not a remake of “Willy Wonka.” This is a direct interpretation of the book.
I am a fan of both separately.
If you ever read the book you will see the movie follows it verbatim.. But fans of the first film don’t care.. They are protective of the non Roald Dahl sanctioned one.. I was skeptical at first and let me tell you. If you remember it as two separate things you will love this movie. It even has the songs the oompas sing in the book as opposed the Gene Wilder made up songs.
I kinda find it funny how Roald took his name off the first film yet people are so adamant about a film that he wouldn’t have sanctioned in a heartbeat.
And Johnny Depp was wonderful. And yes in the book you have Pygmies not midgets..It’s the fucking book for Christsakes.. Get over it!
Two separate movies both wonderful and fun for the kids.. What’s not to like! OK so maybe warped kids but still…It’s not like I rented Sweeney Todd for him!
So back to watching and smelling the basement work..Drink more coffee and maybe this week get another film in!
Till then… ask yourself.. “Which side of the rainbow are we working tonight?”
“ONE”
“TWO”
I died laughing when i found this.. let them in with Henry Kane and Paul McCartney!
ok here’s the trailer.. unfortunately all the YouTubes with real scenes were cut out of the for copyright violations so i found a long one with all of them together.
and “Three”
this seemed better to post then scenes from the film
here is “Charlie”
ok and for those diehards who cant get into the new film.. a little secret…I used to call Maia Veruca when she had temper tantrums.. my old AOL email addy was verucasmom@aol.com
and to leave you all with the song that sparked “Pure Imaginations” everywhere…Hold your breathe, count to three.
Flashback Friday has been a fun process for me…
Although a lot of my past is dead and buried I do have some good old fashioned fishtales.
My whole family is Jersey..Mom dad aunts uncles cousins etc…I’m a Sayre from Sayreville.etc….
I used to go back and visit on my own a couple times but when I was 18 I wanted to move in with my aunt and uncle on the Jersey shore.
So my mom sick of my antics and headshaving and anything else I wanted I wanted to agreed as long as I played by the rules.
So off I went.. Leaving on a jetplane to Jersey.. Forked River that is.. Pronounce it right.. Fork and ED..
Barnegat lane…with all the dogs and my eccentric aunt and uncle .. Jack was a hoot.. I loved him to pieces. Marian always treated me as if I were her own. She was number 5 from the bottom of the ten remaining. I knew I would finally realize my Jersey being. Armed with cash and a bike I managed very well down at the shore.. Never once having to learn to drive or walk.
Within weeks I had made myself a regular at the local carvel and pizza shops and did my writing in an Italian café.
Marian arranged for me to work at a local diner.. Greek owned..
It was called Angie’s or Ginny’s or something like that..
I slicked my spiked hair straight and wore the black skirt white shirt well. Makeup.. Umm well yeah I was only 18.. It was the shore! I did it up baby..
Let’s say something about that shore.. I did my fair share of hanging at the shore.. yea that Jersey shore.. right in seaside heights.. I know the house them damn high haired freaks live in..
That was NOT my jersey shore. I went to a lot of parties out there and none of them had people like them.. Or people with money.. It was LOW key..
I did however once see Jon Bonjovi at the local Dennys..
He hit on me and I thought he was a dick and told him so.. He told me he’d be famous.. They just shot a video at the Boardwalk. HA.. He was a hair boy and kinda weird..
A few months later I saw his band and their first single on MTV at like 1 am.. It sucked..Yeah looking back.. It really sucked.. How were they famous?
Wasn’t from the first single that’s for sure..
Mostly Jersey was parties with kegs in peoples yards..
Or going to the beach one up from Seaside to a little 18 and over nightclub called Sparkles..
But first I needed a job..
Greek diner it was…
I always say I never worked just one day anywhere.. That isn’t exactly true.. I did show up the next day and walk out a few times..
I gave everyone a fair shot there..
I showed up and the owner informed me I would be working tips only while training..
WTF..
Seriously..
I had never waited a table in my life but had worked food for the two years before I got there. So I knew my way around. I was assigned six tables and went to work.
My cook was also my dishwasher and he informed me prompt service is when I am helping load my own dishes in the Hobart.. This was the 11-7 shift by the way…I am sure they had a day dishwasher. I did my washing and loading rather quickly between tables as to make sure my cook would get me the prompt service to ensure better tips. Most of the tables were nice. My cook was funny as hell but the bitches I worked with were catty and evil.
Then came the table from hell. I had just taken my break with my free food made with love from my cook. I had a grilled cheese and fries with a side salad with extra olives and blue cheese.. I made my own salad.. That’s what waitresses got to do.. Keith the cook wanted to make me eat meat but.. Nah meat was so not my thing…
This table had six people.. 3 couples. All people taking the long way home from Atlantic city I am sure..Still partially lit.. Possible maybe doing lines all-night surprised they ate food..
They made rude jokes about me in general.. And when I told them to kinda play nicer it was my first night.. Well that was a huge mistake.. They asked for a nicer waitress.. None of the bitches I worked with wanted to help out..Seriously I was on tips only I was being sweet as pie.. And yes one of them smacked my ass. Think it might have been the girl too.
They key incident happened when one of them found a hair in their food… Had Keith had his way it would have been spit..But no it was a short straight brown hair… So I went and got Keith..
See Keith pointed out to them.. My hair was white.. He in fact had an Afro..
Needless to say they left me one dollar on a 50 dollar bill.
2 more hours to go and I was disgusted.
When 7 am happened I was so out of there.. After tipping out Keith and since there was no busboy I got to keep that part of my pay.. I was roughly at 17 dollars. For 8 hours of labor. And bitchiness and rudeness and cheapness.
So the next night I show up… I assume this will be the night I get to fill out paperwork so I get real money.. Nah Boss went home early.. Tips only..
I was given the ultimate guilt trip about how they knew I was coming so sent someone home.. I said sorry..Pay or no play..
Had they been nice I might have given a shit..
I did however apologize to Keith.. Where as he informed me that he was surprised I was nice enough to show up tonight..Said they wanted cheap workers and that was the game.. Well fuck that game..
I felt bad that my aunt and uncle felt screwed over by a place they ate at.. but seriously I don’t think they expected my uncle Jack to go in that week and tell them off.. And tell all his friends hwo they treated me..
I got another job the next week..And it was totally awesome.. Hours bit.. But the job rocked…Local bakery…I learned a hell of a lot about donuts for the next few months till I moved north to Toms River.. I was sad to leave that job behind.. I found my calling in baked goods…
Next week we’ll go to Toms River!
Till then.. enjoy..
