Serving Assholes

Server Problems: Happy Hour and Impatience

My first collaboration piece! I’m pretty excited about this. This is written with Jeff from Content Unrelated, so be sure you check out some of his funny stuff! It’s a bit different from the ones I’ve posted so far — more of a storyline and less of the conversation. The post-customer interaction where the majority […]

Don't Become One of Us

Omnipresent Forces: The Beginning

I’ve blogged about this before a few times, but when I first started blogging back in August, I had a story called “The Adventures of Jensen Carpenter.” It was a weekly journal chronicling the Apocalypse. I hand-wrote everything, and shot through it pretty quick as I had to have it done every week. I’m not […]

Skillet

Skillet: Rise — The Singles

I was going to wait for the album to do a full review. But then the title track of this CD dropped and I feel like the entire world needs to hear its glory. Also, whenever I search for Skillet information, and put the time slot into the last 24 hours, I think it’s pretty […]

Serving Parties

What Your Server Is Really Thinking: Parties

I had originally intended on doing one for Mother’s Day, but a) my Mother’s Day wasn’t that bad and b) it would have just turned into a rant instead of a conversation the way these have been going. People have seemed to enjoy them so far, so I decided to do one on parties in general. […]

Silver Linings Playbook

The Silver Linings Playbook

You know it’s a good movie when… As soon as the credits start rolling, you immediately go back to the beginning to watch it. The only movies I’ve wished to do this for but haven’t were all the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit and Harry Potter movies because…well they’re 700 hours long. The movies I’ve done this for: I […]

Writer/Reader

Writer Problems

I’ve come to the conclusion (specifically after writing things like What Your Server is Really Thinking, What Your Barista is Really Thinking, and The 2013 Guide to Tipping) that if you don’t work a job/career, there’s no possible way you will understand what the other person is going through. I can sit here and bitch […]

Barista Brains

What Your Barista is Really Thinking

I had some pretty positive feedback from last week’s What Your Server is Really Thinking, and I was discussing being a barista with one Karen Gadient, so I decided to post one that I had written on what your barista is really thinking. If this one goes well, I may turn this into a weekly thing […]

Cold Heart

Frozen Inside

Congratulations, you’ve drowned In the woes of your self-pity. Consistently, you broke me down Defining infidelity. Promises and twisted words Float behind me in a blur, Judging me and saying I’m At fault for your contorted lies. Your cold heart, it broke me down I hope that leaves you happy now. Say one thing but […]

Server Problems

What Your Server is Really Thinking

I came across something I had written back in my Chili’s days, and I feel like it’s something that still applies to my daily life, so here it is folks. ———– Everyone has eaten at a restaurant at least once in their entire life. You know the drill — enter the doors, get seated by […]
