life help: Finally. - Help.com

Finally.

After more than a month of looking, I just found a job. It’s not the sort of job I’d brag about, or anything, but it’s a job, goddammit! I’ll be working as a busser at a restaurant called First Watch. I start next week on Thursday. Hm. Come to think of it, I don’t really know why I’m telling you this. I guess just to let you know what’s going on in my personal life, because I know just how much you care! lol

Yeah. Anyway.

Yours,
An employed Xeno Dragon.

SORRY COULDN’T RESIST PRISON vs. WORK

You spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell——-you spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle

You get three meals a day fully paid for——–you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it

You get time off for good behavior——–you get more work for good behavior

The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you——–you must often carry a security card and open all the doors for yourself

You can watch TV and play games——–you could get fired for watching TV and playing games

You get your own toilet———you have to share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat

They allow your family and friends to visit——–you aren’t even supposed to speak to your family

All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required——–you get to pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners

You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out———-you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars

You must deal with sadistic wardens——–they are called managers

I’m a barback/busser myself - it pays pretty **** well if you’re working a popular place with high turnover. I don’t recommend hospitality as a good long-term choice; but it’s always easier to get work if you already *have* a job. Makes you more marketable, I suppose - but it seems a lot like getting a loan (having to prove you don’t really need it, etc).

I used to be a barback. I liked it, but the place I worked at before doesn’t use them anymore, and none of the other bars were hiring.
