Because it is a "sit-down" restaurant (or was in that place and time), most of our customers assumed that we were paid minimum wage. But nooooo.<br /><br />This was a million years ago so I think the server wage was something dire like $1.35/hr.<br /><br />After church on Sundays, big parties would come in and pray, and order giant pitchers of soda, and abuse the all-you-can-eat salad bar, and ask for extra napkins and drop their silverware and and and. And leave pocket change for a tip.<br /><br />At least at Dairy Queen we got minimum wage and free ice cream.chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-80968023365069854862013-02-04T10:32:46.458-08:002013-02-04T10:32:46.458-08:00Thanks for the comments on the BBSezMore post. I t...Thanks for the comments on the BBSezMore post. I thought it was intriguing for a couple of reasons. <br /><br />First an obvious takeaway: complaining is self-perpetuating, it influences your reality, and it's highly contagious. It's also not hot.<br /><br />Less obvious: Quite often people fail to see the central irony of statements like "I end up with jerks" or "my husband/wife is immature." If your spouse is [insert trait], what might this say about you? You picked him or her. <br /><br />And then it's interesting to see (in point 4) the girlfriend's conversational technique of plausible deniability ("I know, I know, I'm just kidding"). You can say something, and then *kind of* retract it, but you don't have to really reconsider your perspective or admit you're wrong. Again, not exactly a preferred intellectual trait for a spouse.<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-67160189867408739772013-02-04T09:34:20.137-08:002013-02-04T09:34:20.137-08:00in defense of men ...

But the average XY does not think or operate in the same way as the average XX. Neither is necessarily "better" or "right." Both can be jerks. Both can be (and often are )immature, ignorant, self-involved, and generally annoying. In general, I find it easier to cope with the annoyingness of men than the annoyingness of women, because (as a woman) I can't help thinking women should know better.<br /><br />Women run into trouble when they expect men to be women with penises. <br /><br />Vive la difference, says I.chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-87048715948448584652013-02-01T17:09:54.132-08:002013-02-01T17:09:54.132-08:00I definitely enjoyed the post about the woman defe...I definitely enjoyed the post about the woman defending her husband...especially because I definitely complained about "men" in general in the past, and also definitely found a good one.

There's actually a post on the Smoking Gun about this issue too [here: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/tipping-pastor-apologizes-687234 ], and it's fascinating to see the pastor's choice of language in her response to this: <br /><br />- a "lapse in my character and judgment"<br /><br />- a “lapse in judgment that has been blown out of proportion"<br /><br />Man, this is stuff right out of The Last Psychiatrist's blog. In other words she's saying: this wasn't really the real me here, it was just a temporary lapse. I'm not really like that, you see. <br /><br />I wouldn't say this is the behavior of someone willing to own their mistakes. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-37137285010720800122013-02-01T07:21:55.639-08:002013-02-01T07:21:55.639-08:00I'm so thankful that pastor makes those of us ...I'm so thankful that pastor makes those of us who serve God and God's Church look so good.
