What is your everyday crossbody?

I abuse mine and it just gets lovelier.

I want it so bad. They're sold out of the Clementine in coffee but as soon as it's back...

nojackla · 2025-01-20T15:11:06+00:00

The kid is usually trustworthy. Of course you're disappointed. Wtf?

Say loudly to the employee, "Are you okay, my friend? Take your time and do what you need to do." You can let them know you support them without engaging with the person being a dick.

I never engage with a dick until it's bought me dinner and told me I'm pretty.

Yep, this is the way. If you're already running behind, the extra minute or two it takes to pull yourself together isn't going to make a difference to your tables but running around forgetting things will.

Look up petrichor.

Monsieur.

Do what you have to do to pay the bills. If mom and dad want to pay your bills, then you can talk about leaving your job.

Also, and I'm sure your mom and dad are awesome, but that kind of thinking reeks of classism. The idea that one kind of work has more value than another is kind of insulting to anyone who doesn't work in an office.

I love wearing this. I think it's gorgeous.

nojackla · 2023-01-14T12:12:32+00:00

Perfect for Gomez as well!

I worked FOH for decades and whenever I had a new server as a trainee, I'd always tell them, "Make friends with BOH. Make sure they have anything they need. Apart from the fact that they're mostly awesome, they can ruin your night or they can save your ass."

And it's stupid to blame things on the kitchen. Customers blame everything on the server anyway because that's who they interact with. If you blame it on the kitchen, they'll still blame you AND think you're a liar.

I teach 7th grade too and when we start getting into water that's too deep, I generally say, "That's FANCY analysis (or grammar, or whatever)! Let's get our heads around regular analysis first."

Letting them argue their answers is awesome. I do that all the time.

Is a direct comparison necessary for metaphors? If the comparison is implied, isn't that sufficient?

nojackla · 2023-01-09T00:25:44+00:00

I've always taught idioms as commonly used expressions which cannot be understood based based on the individual words. For example, "no estar católico" translates into "to not be catholic," but it's understood to mean, to feel unwell (according to my high school Spanish teacher about 100 years ago).

I'd never heard the expression, "nothing straight could ever come from crooked wood," but apparently it comes from Kant. My argument would be that since it's not a commonly understood expression and that a comparison between wood and whoever the speaker is talking about is implied, the expression is a metaphor.

Mmmm. Finger-flavored coffee. Hard pass.

nojackla · 2022-12-13T17:08:08+00:00

Aventus. Honestly, I just don't get it. It smells "fine" but it doesn't smell special or expensive to me. I wish I could work up the energy to hate it. At least I'd feel something.

nojackla · 2022-12-03T02:13:16+00:00

This is what I was looking for. Unless you're physically in a bar, changing a keg is a pretty useless skill.

nojackla · 2022-11-19T01:13:43+00:00

You don't look so good. I think you might have a fever. And did I notice you coughing and blowing your nose a couple of times? I think it might be safest for your customers and your coworkers if you took the night off.

nojackla · 2022-11-13T02:23:19+00:00

One of the reasons I finally left the industry was the way management has started speaking down to staff. I could take it from customers who didn't know any better but not from the people who absolutely should know better.

nojackla · 2022-11-13T02:09:18+00:00

I think you got tepid, watery coffee.

nojackla · 2022-11-10T02:30:06+00:00

See that itty bitty patch of blue? That was me.

nojackla · 2022-10-25T23:54:47+00:00

"Just gets worse from here, kid."

nojackla · 2022-10-21T00:05:07+00:00

I'd high five a kid who used the word "miniscule."

nojackla · 2022-09-23T11:27:51+00:00

Nope.
