The email I received from my mother about my blog was about how she wouldn’t hire me and she’s my mother. Double great.
See, I knew accepting my aunt’s friend request on Facebook was a bad idea.
My mother found my blog.
And I just got an email about its content. Great.
Hi mom!
Job Satisfaction
robot-heart:
On a scale of 1-10, where would you rank yours?
3. For three reasons:
Crazy people — co-workers and customers.
Working nights/weekends/holidays/12-hour shifts.
Getting paid next to nothing.

She is insane. Absolutely insane. She needs psychiatric help. “Go forth and multiply” is not a demand. She is like those women who have phantom pregnancies because they are so obsessed with having children but can’t, except she can. There is something wrong with her mentally. The facts as I understand them:
She is a single woman in her 30s.
She lives with her parents.
She has...
Trade-off.
I somehow finagled my way into getting Friday and Saturday off this week, which is fucking awesome, but I have to work on Super Bowl Sunday, noon - 9pm or so. Not a huge deal, since I’m not big NFL fan, but it will be mind-numbingly boring. Who comes to eat at a fine dining establishment on Super Bowl Sunday? I’ve already made bets that we will have less than 10 covers, if that.

Glenn Thrush's Blog: STDs higher in Red States? -... →
AIDS is still, to a great extent, a disease of big city America and the states with the highest HIV rates are the ones with the biggest, most cosmopolitan cities — California, New York, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts and Illinois.
But three of the most prevalent non-AIDS STDs do seem to hit Red states disproportionately when it comes to infection rates, according to 2006 U.S. health data...

And it looks like us crackers may get hit as well.
Anyone remember this: Storm of the Century (1993) - Wikipedia?
Didn’t know snow storms could be traumatic experiences till I lived through that bastard. I’m not saying the one predicted by Accuweather will be the same, but it sounds like a bitch anyway.
I remember being 9 and in the fourth grade and getting like 4 days off...

Family: Octuplets' mother has 6 other children →
What the hell? I am sorry, and this may make me very unpopular, but why do people think it is a good idea to have so many children? Why would someone who already has 6 children take fertility drugs? The world is over-populated as it is and you take it upon yourself to add 14 more children to it? Why are you so special? Why not adopt if you want to have a huge family? Or take in foster kids? So...
Chick-fil-A 'blessed' with increased sales |... →
Chick-fil-A benefited by being a lower-priced option for consumers, said Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A’s president and chief operating officer.
“We’re not a high-end, plush restaurant with a $30 average ticket,” Cathy said. “Thankfully, we’re a much more affordable part of your day type expenditure.”
He also was quick to thank his customers and God for the year. The Cathy family, which keeps stores...
We witnessed a pretty bad accident tonight.
No one was seriously hurt, but there were two very messed up cars. And we actually stayed in the cold to talk to the police about what we saw because the dude who caused the accident ran a red light so egregiously and was driving so erratically that we wanted to make sure that he wouldn’t get out of anything. We were the only other car on the portion of Peachtree and Lenox as him so no one...

tastypiesinc: He would have been fired last year, if it wasn’t for the SEC tournament victory (which, apparently, was a fluke). This is the right move IMHO.
Not at all surprised.

So what about Morris Brown then, huh? They owed over $300,000 before you shut their water off, so how can you justify shutting someone’s off for being delinquent for a couple months. The Morris Brown situation was absolutely insane and there is no excuse for it.
Push: A Novel by Sapphire
So as I was watching The View this morning, they spoke of this movie, which Sherri Shepard is in and I think plays the teacher at the alternative school Precious goes to. When I read this article a couple weeks ago, I wracked my brain to remember the name of the book I read a couple years ago that was eerily and sadly similar to that situation. Precious’s character and this book stuck with...

My restaurant is not particpating (boo!) but many are. It’s a little late on my part, only posting this now, and I don’t think we’ll be going out to eat to tonight, but if you are in Atlanta and looking to get dinner out, go to one of these restaurants (listed at link).

That when you get a crown on your tooth, they whittle your dead tooth down to a nub beforehand? I found that out firsthand today. I really really really wanted to take a picture of the nubby pathetic tooth, but felt awkward asking to get out of the chair to do so, or ask the doctor to do it or what.
Also, I’m currently watching Ted Haggard on Oprah. FASCINATING. So glad I recorded it before...

High school cheerleading is a contact sport and therefore its participants cannot be sued for accidentally causing injuries, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a case being closely watched in the cheerleading world.
The court ruled that a former high school cheerleader cannot sue a teammate who failed to stop her fall while she was practicing a stunt. The court also said the injured...

Sex drive link to prostate cancer →
Men who are more sexually active in their 20s and 30s may run a higher risk of prostate cancer, research suggests.
The Nottingham University study quizzed 800 men on how often they had sex or masturbated.
Those who were most active while younger had more chance of developing cancer later in life.
The researchers said higher levels of sex hormones could lead to a bigger sex drive and the...

A 14-year-old aspiring police officer donned a uniform, walked into a Chicago police station and managed to get an assignment — patroling in a squad car for five hours before he was detected, police said Sunday.
The boy did not have a gun, never issued any tickets and didn’t drive the squad car, Deputy Superintendent Daniel Dugan said.
Assistant Superintendent James Jackson said the ruse...
