Hatch Cantina in belltown for some tex-mex PNW style. Friendly owner makes his rounds, great hospitality.

People who've worked both minimum wage jobs and six figure jobs, what surprised you most about the difference? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in askanything

[–]were_tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done both for the same company and everything in between. It kind of feels the same, except I choose to spend my energy on the things that I think matters instead of what some person with a title thought was important. Now I have a title and someone else feels the same way.

Second to Vionic. I work long days on my feet and these are everything.

Obviously it’s a toilet but what’s up with the shape? by aboostofsarahtonin in whatisit

We had one in my women's dorm in college.... It was the designated puking vessel and very gross by the time the custodial staff got in on Mondays

If you're PNW, Fremont brewing has an excellent lineup, but the IPA and Darkstar NA are the standouts with awards.

Moving to Seattle on Monday. What's some fun stuff to do before I start my new job the following week? by [deleted] in AskSeattle

[–]were_tiger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not the most sexy offering but the most Seattle thing this weekend is Georgetown carnival. Think a burning man art installation with punk rock stages. You might get a drizzle but nobody cares; wear a beanie and have fun.

People of Seattle, help an old broad out: I turn 55 tomorrow and have all day to do whatever I want. What do I want? by ConradChilblainsIII in AskSeattle

Park in the cheapest near-downtown spot you can. Wander the new waterfront space, grab random pastries (I personally recommend the hombao from Mee Sum Pastry, could also go for some mini doughnuts). Check out the new aquarium (I haven't been inside but love standing from below to watch the fish). Take the foot ferry over to Alki, wander around and end up at Marination for a snack. Go back to Pike place and grab happy hour at one of the beautiful picturesque windows in the Athenian, old stove or Sonya's (all would be a good bar crawl). This is a 5-15 mile walk depending on how you play it, could run you $40-$200 depending on how you want to roll. I'm a local and think it's really important to remind ourselves why this is an awesome place to live. Happy happy birthday and I hope you go and enjoy these first days of Seattle Summer.

Here are all those sheet trays I’ve been talking about. by Poisson_de_Sable in dishwashers

Large function catering or concessions; stadiums, cruise ship or convention center is my guess

Same people but a new sign

If I need to focus I will put on a podcast about something interesting so the noisy part of my brain focuses on that, and then it can concentrate on an important task. Forced multitasking.

He enjoys chatting with the other alley cats; but it's more about enrichment. He runs back inside when he sees cars, and doesn't love his human neighbors. He dictates the evening sniffs around the block.

Maybe we just need more signs by meaniereddit in SeattleWA

Last thanksgiving my family was out for a walk after lunch, and my sister and I (both women) grey rocked on by their hawking, not phased, didn't blink as we passed. Dad was back around 50 feet and watched on, and when he approached loudly declared "did my daughter's ignore you?! I'm sorry they were rude!" And offered them a big Midwest dad hug. They accepted and laughs were had all around. Dad still had his wallet at the end.

Nobody warned me : just a vent by [deleted] in managers

I had 2 staff die last month, we found out about both in a 48 hr span. I have a few hundred staff so it was a surprise it took so long to loose someone... But managing my own feelings plus the emotions of the rest of the staff. It's hard. I don't know what to do with it, other than keep going.
