R-E-S-P-E-C... wait

Postby Tom Flapwell » Thu Dec 27, 2007 4:05 pm

Still No. 1: They're the odd couple again: George Bush and Hillary Clinton, the most admired man and woman in America. The Republican president and the Democratic senator are sharing the honor for a sixth straight year, according to a USA Today-Gallup poll.
And yes, they mean George W. Bush.

I can hardly believe either result. I think the reporters just want to piss everyone off. Nobody respects both, after all, and many respect neither.

I have no respect for any of humanity. I've worked in an environment where I'm exposed to too many humans. It's made me very cynical.

Fast food, where you get to see the very worst of people all the time.

That's why I no longer work in fast food. And it just isn't the customers that are bad. It's the crew and managers as well.

Actually, many act more like chimps. Though, at times that would be an insult to chimps.

For sure. Worst manager I had, we were filling out employee "satisfaction" surveys, and he actually said to me that if I DID'T give excellent reviews, that I wouldn't get a bonus. Even though the surveys were supposed to be anonymous!

Isn't that kind of, you know, illegal? since when is it your fault your body couldn't fight off the illness? that's one of the dumbest cases of getting fired I've heard of yet.

When I worked at Hardee's all the managers were cheery and expected competence. They were the type that plans on being a fast food manager for the rest of their lives. It was way more annoying then having a manager who is just a dick.
