living on tips
Posted Aug 19, 2000
Living on the meager gratuities to be had in the lounge of a Greek restaurant in Saskatoon, Sk. when there is no promotionak plan, and no customers, is very hard to do. I am getting very frustrated. Why do I continue to tend bar?

Anyone out there?
Posted Aug 1, 2000
I have been posting to forums, writing in my journal, and going to interesting member home spaces, but no one ever responds to these. Is there anyone out there? Do people ever read their own pages, their own forums? Is anyone spending any time on this site, or what?

Hangover Hell

Ohh, I am getting to old to act like a stupid teenager. I drank way too much last night and now I'm paying for it. Sometimes there is just no cure but time.

meatballs
Posted Jul 16, 2000
I work in a Greek restaurant where we serve mostly Greek and Italian dishes. Tonight a woman ordered baked spaghetti with meat sauce for delivery, and when she received the delivery, she found a meatball in the pasta. She called the restaurant in a fury, saying that there was a meatball in her spaghetti, and what were we going to do about it? Well she had gotten her meatsauce with a free meatball besides. This would be a good thing, right? Noway, Jose! She lost it. Meatballs, it seems, are disgusting. THey make her want to vomit. Perhaps they even scare her, the repressed and neurotic bitch. Some traumatic childhood meatball experience no doubt. Oh the horror! I see dead meatballs. Meatballs Meatballs Meatballs MEATBALLS! aaaaaAAAHHHHHHH!!!!So we give her a new spaghetti, delivered for free. Of all the stupid insignificant things to get upset about. It was not like we plopped a severed testicle from a freshly castrated horse on her plate. Now that wouold be a traumatic experience, although not for some women. Maybe she's had too many balls resting on her chin in her life....

the Unabomber
Posted Jul 14, 2000
The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, was one the foremost naturalists of our time. Despite being a sociopathic Killer, he was extremely dedicated to the cause of the sustainable human life on the earth. He was willing to kill for his beliefs. Would you? The following are some of the points in his manifesto:"The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race." AGREED. "It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries." WELL, LET'S JUST WAIT AND SEE.I COULD BUY THIS, BUT MOST PEOPLE WON'T AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE THE TECHNO-PHILE MATERIALISTIC TYPE, THEY WON'T BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR COMFORT FOR THE DISCOMFORT OF CHANGE, NEVER MIND THE DISCOMFORT OR EVEN HARDSHIP OF A NATURAL LIFESTYLE. THEY WOULD CONSIDER SUFFERING TO BE LIVING WITHOUT CARS, TVS OR COMPUTERS. "The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down." IF IT SURVIVES, HE SAYS, IT WILL BE ONLY THROUGH A PAINFUL PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT AND WILL STILL DEPRIVE THE HUMAN RACE OF DIGNITY, FREEDOM, AND AUTONOMY, AS THEY WILL BE "mere cogs in the social machine." "If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows, the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later." EXACTLY. HUMANS AND THEIR SOCIAL SYSTEMS ARE STILL PART OF THE NATURAL WORLD, AND STILL SUBJECT TO ITS LAWS INCLUDING THOSE THEY TRY TO BEND SUCH AS POPULATION LIMITS, CARRYING CAPACITY, AND MORTALITY. WE CANNOT PRESUME TO BE UNACCOUNTABLE. NATURE WORKS ALWAYS TO PRODUCE HARMONY AND BALANCE THROUGH ALL ITS PROCESSES, AND WE WILL A VICTIM OF A NATURAL ADJUSTMENT IF WE DO NOT MAKE IT OURSELVES. "We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system." THIS REVOLUTION IS GAINING GROUND AND MOMENTUM, AND WE MUST ALL BE AWARE OF IT OR BECOME PART OF IT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. CULTURE JAMMING, ENVIRONMENTAL WARFARE, LIMITATIONS OF CIVIL LIBERTY, ADVANCEMENT OF MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE(BIG BROTHER) TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA MANIPULATION, ALL THESE SHOULD BE SEEN IN THIS REAL CONTEXT OF A WAR. MAKE NO MISTAKE, THE INDUSTRIAL GIANTS ARE AT WAR ALREADY, USING THEIR WEAPONS OF THE MEDIA, COMPUTER BANKING, CENTRALIZATION OF POPULATIONS TO LARGE CITIES, DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY TO KEEP UP TO THE POPULATION'S FOOD NEEDS, SPECIALIZATION INSTEAD OF GENERALIZED KNOWLEDGE, AN EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT TEACHES PEOPLE TO BE STUPID AND NOT TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES, AND OTHERS, TO FIGHT THIS COUNTER-CULTURE OF GLOBAL AWARENESS, AND KEEP ITS MEMBERS MARGINALIZED AND ISOLATED.
