Not only have I picked up dates doing it but I've helped others do it as well. To think that a restaurant waitress/waiter/bartender treats their job as a 'professional space' is backwards. You're likely in a diner-esque restaurant or coffee/pizza place, not a high end where you're talking to some chef de cuisine. More often than not it's a job no one really gives a damn about. They're students or individuals who wouldn't mind a career change. They aren't in that mindset.

You definitely have to ask for their number though, and after significant conversation. Leaving it is just creepy and they likely have to move too fast to pocket your number. You can't expect a bunch of quick touchpoints and smiles to deliver a result. Go get there's and they'll know if you're interested. If they say no, there's no real loss.

Last time it happened I helped a third wheel get a bartender's number. We had a longer three way convo at the bar and after probing and talking her up, I bled away and she told him "hey I don't want to sound creepy, but can I get your number?". Nailed it. Guy was a total douche and they didn't even go on a date, but she got the number and was able to actually get to know him.

As I've stated before, my office overlooks the front of a busy store. In front of the store are a row of parking meters.

This girl just spent twenty minutes looking at her parking meter, as though trying to understand why her money didn't add any time to the meter.

I was going to go down and ask her out. Anyone dumb enough to spend that long on parking meter is clearly dumb enough to go out with me. Also she clearly is too stupid to leave me, because if she was really worried about getting a ticket, she could have just cashed out and moved her car.

Scrolling through my facebook feed today, saw 2 instances that make me wonder why the fuck I added people.

First, an African American friend of mine posted a bunch of black humor stuff. It was fine and I lol'd because I like black humor. Turns out he's an idiot and he thinks black humor was created by black people so he'd being all self righteous talking about the sophisticated sense of humor his fellow brothers have. I cant even.

Second, I see someone who's more of an acquaintance have comments keep popping up on a local news story about an officer involved on a shooting after a simple welfare check. The issue was the 'welfare check'. 99% of people comprehend what that is with no problem. This stupid whore is complaining that officers don't need to be, and I quote, "poppin in on people just because they be on welfare"

You're so full of shit, Mat.

You're that maladjusted guy that tags along dreaming of sloppy seconds.

Just got a call from the people I was supposed to interview with on Monday about a phlebotomy position they had open. This was my third call with the guy who was supposed to interview me then. The last couple were background basic questions and setting up the actual physical interview. So today he starts off saying they talked to their competitor in town asking if I had ever donated plasma with them. I had. He asks me about it and asks if it was in the last 6 months. Again, yes. Turns out that due to a corporate agreement of some kind regarding some confidentiality or anti-tampering horse shit I'm disqualified from being hired for the next 5 months.

I'm really fucking bummed right now. That has no bearing on my ability to do the job and I've been talking about getting a job as a phlebotomist for months. I hate everything about corporations right now including their stupid ass agreements that have nothing to do with anything

Reading comprehension again. I mentioned that we talked for quite a bit to the point that she was ignoring other tables, as well as me asking her out. Since I wasn't clear about this other part, I didn't leave my number, I wrote it down and gave it to her. Pretty irrelevant at this point since she didn't get in touch and presumably is unlikely to do so.

Is that an 'on call' deal or are you really expected to be awake and working the whole time?

fighting wild fires is probably 18 hr days

16 is generally the limit on what they will allow us to work.

But as you can imagine, sometimes circumstances call for staying on later depending on the situation, and when that happens we have to mitigate it by taking however many hours we went over 16 off (in addition to the 8 mandatory) before we start another shift.


I have been in the situation where we had to pull a 30 hour shift due to circumstances. That was fucking miserable.

Awake and working 16 hour days is the max.

*note in some situations like this we are on the clock when we wake up and eat breakfast before heading out and when we are eating dinner before bedding down

So you can basically attribute 2 hours of that 16 to waking up/gathering your shit to the truck and eating between morning and night.

Yeah that sounds awful mate.

Im generally limited to 12 hours by light on long days but a normal day is 10. Shit gets sore after a few days of that. Do you have any mandated off-days?
