16 Apologizes To Your Restaurant Co-Workers
Lauren Mathis

To my restaurant crew,

It’s weird to say that I think of you all as my family, but in some ways, each and everyone of you are. I spend more time with 90 percent of you than I do with my actual family. Working in a restaurant, full of drama and gossip, is such a fun job, but there are also many things to say sorry for. So, this is to all you beautiful little weirdos.

- I’m sorry for not vacuuming the back room after I demolished some nachos and got crumbs all over the floor.

- I’m sorry for calling in sick, causing you to close on a Monday for the third time in a row, even though it was my turn.

- I’m sorry for getting the request off you wanted, even though you asked for it first, and I’m also sorry that I bragged about getting off.

- I’m sorry for dropping the basket of french fries for table 41 when we were busy, causing you to lose 10 percent off your tip.

- I’m sorry (to the bartenders) for ringing in all those stupid drinks that I know none of you want to make because they require five different types of alcohol and chocolate syrup, or putting in 15 shots, which all happen to be different. Oh, and they have to be chilled.

- I’m sorry for forgetting to take the trash out after I was done, leaving it for you to drag to the dumpster at 1:55 a.m. in the freezing cold and in pitch darkness.

- I’m sorry (to the cooks) for typing a million modifications for you, just to take the meal to the table and have a customer say “I didn’t order that.”

- I’m sorry (to the hostess) when I get really busy and yell at you for seating in my section again, even though it was my turn.

- I’m sorry (to the bartenders) for my resting b***** face when I’m waiting for my drinks at the bar because you’re taking a couple extra seconds to make my drink.

- I’m sorry for coming in on my day off and drinking right in front of you, even though I wouldn’t be working anyway.

- I’m sorry for begging you to switch sections with me because I have something to do that night, and then giving you the cold shoulder all night because you said no.

- I'm also sorry for not taking your shift when you had something important to do, just because I didn't feel like working.

- I’m sorry for accidentally stealing that table from you when it was your turn.

- I’m sorry that we all have to roll massive amounts of silverware.

- I’m sorry (to the food runners) for telling you five different things about my order that I forgot to ring in and then getting mad when you forgot to bring it to my table.

- I’m sorry we’re all crazy and have to deal with each other, but I’m not sorry that we’re stuck with each other.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
