idiots all of them

[maderr]

Everyone knows I work at a pizza place, lord knows I bitch about it enough. Friday nights are what we frequently describe as hell for obvious reasons. But to emphasize the point, let me desribe a few things to you.

We have three pizza ovens, they're all set to 500 degrees. Most nights only one is on, busier nights we might run the second for a little while. Fridays we run all three. Try being the poor fool that has to either make enough pizzas to fill three ovens or the sucker that has to take them out at the other end. These are hard jobs, not just anyone can do them. Not only do they take a bit more training than most other jobs, you have to start with intelligence, coordination and the ability to multi-task. Most natives of Stupidville posses none of these traits.

Every underdog in the store resents those of us that "get to do the real jobs" while they're stuck doing "the crappy jobs." Those of us described as "lucky" inform the morons that they have no idea what they're talking about. Who the hell enjoys making pizza after pizza for six hours straight? Who the hell enjoys keeping track of all the food pouring out of three 500 degree ovens for six hours straight? No one. Ask any "lucky" person and they will tell you that they would kill to be "stuck" in the back all night. Give me a lackey job any day, "lucky" is just another way of saying "the head manager suckered me into being an assistant manager." Granted, there is a certain amount of (albeit stupid) pride in being one of maybe three people trusted to handle either of these two positions on the busiest night of the week, but we'd still prefer to be lackeys again.

Besides, you don't get to the Front (ovens, make-line, counters) when it takes three people to do what I can do in a third of the time it takes them. Sorry, you don't get the "glory" jobs unless you can hack the easy stuff. Every "lucky" person in the store started at the bottom and worked their way up. That's how it works, no exceptions.

Sorry, this tirade has been on my mind a lot lately. It needed writing before it would leave me head. I hate stupid people.

Stupid people can be amusing, so long as what they're doing doesn't interfere with what you're doing.

MY MUSE!!!

WHERE ARE YOU MY MUSE!!! I have a copy of the Iranian Constitution here and I am toying with it, but I need my muse to give me an idea of what to do with it (besides throw it at my students and make them read it--tee hee!)... I'm going to nap now. I am going to follow through with it too, b/c I am a lazy pile of shit.

As for the pizza people, FUCK THEM. Be like, "Listen, if you don't shut the fuck up, I'm going to use your dick to get the pizza out of the oven. Capiche?" Another popular one would be, "Listen, asshole, unless you want to become like the witch in Hansel and Gretel and see your sorry ass baked in that damn oven, you shut the fuck up and get your ass back to chopping and doing whatever other task your mentality is capable of doing." Hmm... there were a lot of big words and references to fairy tales there... maybe that's too deep.

I wanted to tell you too, that I found like four rows of Asian Studies journals. It looked like Anime, Art, Asian History, Asian Studies, etc. I didn't check because I was trying to get to the Mideast stacks before anyone else whored off with my journals. FUCKERS THIS IS NOT LAW SCHOOL WHERE WE HAVE TO RIP OUT PAGES. teehee!

Remind me to finish your C.V. OOO I have to poop again. What a great day.

I wonder if I'm supposed to be this cold right now.

I'll have to use some of those threats at work tonight.

Sorry I wasn't around, I'm really no good at all am I?

three ovens at once, I am tre' impressed..must be hot, don't envy you that! Good thing to write it here and get it all out and let us all comisirate with you. Stupid people sux *nods*

yeash! and here I thought I had problems with lackeys. Just tell them there's a scary chick in Ohio threating them with lobsters and maybe that will help.. ;)

But it's really common sense that you start at the bottom and work up. If you want to work one of the good jobs you need to hmmm say WORK for it??

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I thought it was a pretty obvious conclusion, but maybe we just have excessive amounts of intelligence and it's really a hard thing to understand.

[starparty.livejournal.com]

*sigh* you do have a point. I guess is we were morons we'd be blissfully bitching about how we want to good jobs too.

and it makes it that much more frustrating that there are laws aginst beating sense into people.

Damned annoying that - of course, if half these people had been spanked as children there might be less of a problem.

[abiona-sashenka.livejournal.com]

Yes, Derr... working one's way up makes SENSE! But, we all know that most people on the planet don't understand logic or have their fair share of common sense. Besides, there are enough exceptions to the rule that some people get deluded... like the chick who is on her way to assistant manager at LB. That should be my position... not that I want to work retail full time or for the rest of my life, but it has its perks. I might have considered it!

Fucking real world.

Let's go hide in academia.

Lackeys. I feel you. Imagine having lackeys who do not speak English. Welcome to my world.

[maderr.livejournal.com]
