You know, all the downsides of thrashed's job(and most of the perks like the free drinks and food) are about the same as my job, but there are some differences.
-When I'm working as a busboy, I get pretty good tips. On a night like last night, in addition to the 20 bucks I got for cleaning shit in the bathroom, I probably made about 50 for cleaning the tables. -Even when dishwashing, I'm only doing one job, no customers to deal with, I get to listen to music(seriously, they let ME use the stereo) and I get paid $7.75 an hour to do an easy job with more than one person. -As long as the manager's not looking(and even they don't really care much), free soup and rolls. -The end of the night is always slow. You're basically getting paid to stand around and shoot the shit with your co-workers, and I work with some cool people.

yeah when we close the manager plays music. problem is he plays shit like Will Smith, this gay techno, pop-punk, sum 41, whatever gay shit you could think of. I brought my cd wallet there once and one of the idiots I was working with took one good look and decided "Never heard of any of them forget it" and handed me back the thing and he's like "here's real metal" and cranked up billy talant. yeah that real metal for ya

Billy Talent sure is a suck-ass.
Not only do I work with friends anyway, but I don't have other people looking through my CD wallets. We always just switch off. I usually try to put in some mellower stuff anyway like Dysrhythmia, any surf or psychobilly I have, maybe some Electric Six or USAisamonster, Dead Milkmen...something neutral. Anything more abrasive I put in that I would consider tolerable for any time would include the likes of Mastodon and Lightning Bolt. However, this is really only the beginning and end of the shift. During the rush, almost anything's fair game, but I have set limitations on myself(No Anal Cunt, Exhumed, Phobia, Nile, any band with songs that average about 30 seconds, etc.)

Sounds like you pretty much have it your way when it comes to playing music at your work place. Instead I have to listen to the latest hit from fEMINEM or something like that. on top of that the manager is a damn rubby when it comes to his personal stuff. The cd skips ever 5 seconds. Nothing is worse than hearing Will Smith say the same word over 20 times really fast and then the sound of someone banging on the cd player so it'll stop skipping. It's stessfull. Oh and I don't go around offering to show off my wallet but, if they asked and promised me they won't touch the cd by the shiny side because cd's have feelings to and touching it there is no different then a 30 man touching you in that place. It's like your molesting the cd damnit

Hell weekend is over at work. Friday's variety show crowd, Saturday's weird shift due to so many people requesting the night off AND the variety show crowd, and today being Mother's Day and the busiest day of the year(with me having a long midshift), I'm pretty wiped out. I'm just glad it's all over.

Going back to the "shitting all over your CD collection" theme...I work with a dude that doesn't even bother using jewel cases or those CD wallet things. Just grabs a CD, pops it into his player, and when he wants to listen to something else it either ends up on the passenger side floor or the backseat. Fucking rediculous.
On top of that, he drives a Wrangler with the top off most of the time, so these CD's are all scratched to shit from the mud caked to his interior from off roading. Good lord, you buy this shit in Wal-Mart or Bust Buy or where ever and you're going to shell out at least $14 a disc. With a collection of 50 CD's, that's a cool $700 you've just pissed away because you're too fucking lazy to take care of something delicate.
I just don't get it. People complain about the price of gas, but don't blink an eye at wasting money on CD's that won't last a year in their care.

hehe I think some people might do that sort of shit just to look cool in a way. my mom's idiot boyfriend likes to wreck cd's the same why he picks the cd holding it by the bottom and literally chucks it in the cd tray and he puts cd's shiney side down on dusty metal surfaces. he rarley puts it in cd cases. He listens mostly to gay shit anyway the best in his scratched to shit collection is AC/DC black in black which no longer works. I did threaten to kill him once for handling my show no mercy cd once which was cool. He also happens to be a know it all bragger. Maybe all "proud-as-fuck-of-themselves" people treat their cd's like this who knows.

I have a couple CD wallets and I still don't have nearly enough room to hold everything I want to. Until recently, I had a bunch of floaters in there. They were going to get scratched anyway. Is it really a crime to want to carry more music around?

I just don't get it. People complain about the price of gas, but don't blink an eye at wasting money on CD's that won't last a year in their care. these are the types of americans that make the rest of us look bad. they take everything for granted and bitch about stuff like gas prices (something that will inevitably rise anyway). nothing is good enough for these bitches. they piss their money away on items they deem expendable after a couple of uses, but they dont want to pay an extra 50 cents for something they really need. GODDAMN IT!

And people like chestwound. american's are good people there just a little to proud of there country and like to brag about it. i mean it's a damn good country but haven't you all watch the news or that documentary from the guy that made bowling for columbine. what's it called again? from Mike Moore

GODDAMN IT! No shit. People think a bottle of water for a buck and a half is a steal, but a couple of bucks for a gallon of gas is somehow overpriced? $4 for a coffee...why do people not complain about that? Do you know how much mark-up there is in coffee? Just those shitty little Green Mountain dispensers at gas stations have a 700% mark-up. Not too long ago there was a gas station opening up that sold gas for $0.30 cheaper than everywhere else as their opening day gimmick. The police had to come to control all the people lined up to get gas. It was the most retarded thing I've ever seen, especially since people were waiting upwards of an hour to get their gas. $0.15 on the buck...and how much gas did you use idling in your car?

He has some good idea's and surrounds himself with a staff of very intelligent people...but some of the shit he pulls just makes me scratch my head. I would have a lot more respect for the guy if he just came out and said, "We're closing down these military bases since we're trying to kiss the ass of the private sector. Obviously, the US doesn't play well with others, so the more third party friends we have the better off we'll be". And don't even get me going on Michael Moore. He's a fat, obnoxious, greedy, misleading, peice of shit with all ten grubby little fingers three knuckles deep in his share of the American Pie, all the while insisting on how terrible it tastes. Fuck him.
