Escape

I've got a twisted sense of humor, and everything amuses me.
Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Beyond this Horizon

Finally, I've made my escape from that twisted place I call Fast-n-Eat. Yesterday I told my boss I was leaving at the end of the month and I almost laughed when she asked why. Why? I wanted to ask her if she was deliberately being obtuse or naturally so. While I've been working on the game I debated how to explain and decided maybe a list would be best.

Why Fast-n-Eat is not the place for me. (Not necessarily in order of importance)

• Rude, stupid customers.


• Lazy, rude managers.


• Inane meetings.


• Broken promises.


• Measly pay.


• Measlier raises.


• Inspection Hysteria. We're constantly inspected by somebody for something.


• Big brotherism. They're putting in cameras that can be watched by bosses from home.


• Other stuff.

I don't have another job lined up, I don't know where I'm going, it doesn't matter anymore, my toleration has limits. 3.5 years of fly-thru fastfood is long enough.
