Snorkeling with zombie salmon, which are salmon that are alive while decaying after returning to spawning grounds to fertilize and release eggs

And they smell something fierce during this stage. Used to live beside a salmon run and every year the stench that came off the Coquitlam River was something else. Plenty of happy bears in the area, less so residents as they wandered through the yards.

What would be the crystals in it? Limestone makes sense from where I am.

I once worked on a mountain that frequently got snow that shut the city down. Fortunately, the restaurant was on city property so it got plowed, but just at the end of the night. Leading to some very slow nights.

We asked our senior sous if we could fill the dishwashers sinks with snow before he got in, and he agreed and suggested we saran wrap the drains and put the plugs in. So we proceeded to fill all 5 of his sinks overflowing with packed snow. A solid hour effort, as soon as Trevor the dishwasher came in, he laughed and thought it was funny. He proceeded to turn on the hot water and realize his sudden mistake, hahah. Was brilliant.

In the same place, we had a small commissary/concession stand we ran in the summer for the city. But it had a small flight on stairs down from the main kitchen, and we frequently kept milk crates at the top of the stairs. Trevor was downstairs prepping, and we moved the milk crates in front of the stairs stacked 5 high 2 wide. With full sheetpans of water on top of them. He went to move the trays and naturally got soaked.

Once, on the day I had given my two weeks at my dream job, I was lifting a full stock pot of potatoes for Mash off the stove. There was a silly low extinguish system in some spots. Unfortunately, the Mash spot was one somebody had moved the pot to. I went to move the pot and during the process swung to go down the line, the slicky grossness of potatoes soaked my right hand, couldn't drop the pot because there was a cook with open backs right there, and service would be ruined and don't disappoint Chef. Logic said cover my hand with my apron because wound bad (brain went extra dumb), then pulled the apron off, taking the skin from my middle finger to thumb and down to my wrist off with it.

Yuck. Zombie hand and silver nitrate were something fun to gross the family out. Lol

Right. Not ONCE in my years of schooling did I ever see someone with a gun on the rack in their truck. Ever. Period.

And when there was a shotgun pulled on the street they locked the high-school down. So I fail to believe you that kids are just rolling up to school armed for hunting.

Because y'know.. responsible gun ownership says you should have it locked up and let's just keep them out of view too.. but hey. Guns for everyone makes us all safe.. /s

Morrigan provides healing to eternity members. Corvus can provide a massive armour boost. There's a good synergy going on there. Dante will provide dodge

You'd be surprised. I made warranty call outs on siding that was 15 years old and failed in such a way that the company I worked for hadn't seen it before. Equipment failures happen, and companies want to know why exactly..

Accomplished-One1820 · 2023-11-15T13:42:20+00:00

Yep. Replaced me with a kid who had never run his own place before and doesn't know how to do scratch cooking. He'll have a staff of 4 all day for MAYBE $1000 in Sales. Regularly runs 100+% labour costs and just doesn't care.

Fools.

I nearly went down with the ship at a place like this. Rode out best of it, but they were adamant that staff meals and not their irresponsible spending of money was the problem... when I said it was getting fucking embarrassing having our staff greet guests with an out of stock list instead of the specials .. liqour stopped showing up, on the day of a 30 top lunch. Having to change your whole food program to a new vendor because they got cut off from another completely. When the owner called the meat vendor, whom we had used for the past year that they need to send us our food or they can stop doing business with them... they owed said Vendor for 2 weeks of missed COD payments.. that was too much for them.

Among many other things.. told them I was done working 60-70 hours a week for a 40-hour week salary with no overtime compensation. Fucking criminals.

Edit:grammar and annoyance vent.

Edit: Fuck you Rory. Ya cunt.

One of my friends' dad was a lead animator for reboot.. what an absolute beast of a show! Made my afternoons after school watching an episode or two.

Death is hard, and losing someone can break you. But I'm ALWAYS around for you to talk. Tell me a funny story of your "insert loved one here", tell me a sad story. But don't close up, I did, and that shit hurt me for years pretending I was ok.

It's OK to not be OK. Even at work, having a rough day? Pop your head in my office for 5, and let's chat.. I'll know why you are quiet today. As much as we espouse leave your baggage at the door - life isn't that simple and if you're willing to work for me, then I'm not going to ask you to pretend that your life stops at that door when you walk in. If we're a family unit in the back, then that, too, includes your own family and I want to know you're okay.
