I think my AIM is somehow tied to Bill Shatner dispensing the following advice: “Stop and think about it” when someone IMs me. It’s very annyoing. SHUT THE HELL UP KIRK.

Andrew Sullivan discusses Bush’s inaguaration speech and quotes some sections. This bit caught my eye:

“Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.”

Of course, everyone who has barely been following American politics in the last year knows that gay rights legislation was a big issue. And that our president and his supporters and his party was in favor of what can only be called bigotry towards homosexuals.

And now he says this. Seriously, Mr. Bush? Actions speak louder than words.

I had requested today off because Dad & I were going to drive down to the Shore. Snowstorm scratched those plans, so I figured I might as well go into work and help with the lunch rush.

Good thing I did, because Noah wasn’t paying attention when he was working the slicer and his finger wound up with the celery he’d been cutting.

It still doesn’t beat the time Rich sliced up his hand, then went to the counter, answered the phone, waited a moment, and delivered this gem: “Ma’am, I’m sorry, you’re going to have to call back … I’m bleeding profusely and cannot take your order at this time!”

I don’t think she called back.

Really, the thing that irks me most about people trying to pay for food with bad or forged checks is that they usually won’t think to bribe the driver with a big tip.

The driver always gets revenge.

So endeth the lesson.
