"a font of misplaced rage" --Garland Green, ConAir
Though I have quit the dishroom, it still sucks and ruins the lives of many tormented souls. It smells. It's dirty. AND wet and hot and just plain nasty. Even smell day old, congealed split pea soup? Though am quite learned in the art of pot-scrubbing and food-serving (burnt noodles and cream soups are the worst, navy bean soup's the most adhesive soup on the planet, and the smell of country fried fish does not go away. ever.), the management sucked and it was time to move on. But all that's been burned into my past, and thus I vent:
| Permit me a rant. Daylight was consistant in only one thing: leaving their work for night crew (namely, me). They leave unsoaked egg pans (damn them!) and angel-food-cake-pans (grr times one million) among other nasties. Do you think they can dry and line trays? Take out the trash? Hang up utesils? NO NO NO NO. So I enter the dishroom, and see...a mess, or am told someone left such-and-such here and there... my response: "Well, I'm not gonna do it!!" as dear Bilbo expresses so eloquently. |
| "It is not the rubber pizza that worries me." Alas, here is yet another example of Passavant's famous "Half-assavant" standards. The list of the best ones are as follows: "Have ideas that look good on paper? You can be a manager!" "Are you blind, deaf, or incapacitated in any way? You can wash pots and clean!" "Hate working? Come on down!" "Have an ego problem? You'll make a perfect dining hall manager!" And so on. And the pizza...always burnt. It's FROZEN! Even I can bake frozen pizza! The crulpit...I don't really want to broadcast anything...*cough*DAMON*cough* |
 Sam: "Smell that bog?" Frodo: "That's the dishroom. Bogs smell more grassy." |
|
| These were made for the mere amusement of my sister and I. | |
 Legolas: "Your sitting in the chicken and your foot is in the potatoes." Gimli: "AHK. A little dirt never hurt anyone." | |
 Looks like Elrond got stuck loading the machine...again. Elrond: "This...is the story of my life...srub, spray, rack, scrub, spray rack...for all eternity..." |
|
 If I could use the Force, I'd use it to clean pots. Sad. | |
 Aragorn: "Moria sure has changed." Boromir: "What's that smell?!" Gimli: (oblivious) "What smell?" | |
 In the dirtiest place in the world, would Legolas get dirty? No, he'd do the only clean job in the place...unloading clean pots from the dish machine. Legolas: "You going to scrub those or what?" |
|
"How many pots are in the dishroom?"
"Ten thousand."
The pots? They will be here by nightfall.
The dishes, they're speaking to each other!
