The Horror.

7 Things Anyone Who Has Worked Food Service Will Understand
Wikipedia

Many people have had their first experience in the working world be in food service, heck many people make a living working food service. With this magical world of grease and misery comes many new experiences, most of which are not pleasant ones.

1. Closing

Trying to close? There will always be those people who come in ten minutes before closing time and stay until half an hour after. Every. Single. Time.


2. Customers

The customer is always right, except when they are horrifyingly wrong. It's pretty common to be blamed by a customer for things that you aren't even responsible for.


3. Filling In

It seems every time you finally have a day off, you get asked to come in from your boss. Conveniently, you always seem to be sick on those days, darn!


4. Taking Trash

Being asked to take out the trash is like a second break. You'll probably make multiple trips to the dumpster as you walk as slow as possible, only to hide for a bit on your phone.


5. Dishes

At the end of the night when all of your work is done, the menace that is dirty dishes rears its ugly head. Everybody is supposed to help do them, sure, but you seem to be the only one who will.


6. Messing Up

Sometimes you may "mess up" preparing food so that it must be disposed of. Just for the record, eating it is technically disposing of it.


7. No-slip Shoes

That's a funny joke. No matter how "no-slip" your shoes are, you will slip. Bad. Like you're walking barefoot on an oil slick bad.

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.

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.

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.
