  • Roll Racist and Others

    I should have posted this yesterday but I've been typing up a 20-page science unit for my field study class. I just finished my first lesson plan on page 8.

    Anyway, on to the tales.


    Roll Racism

    We usually have two kinds of sandwich rolls behind the counter, white bulkie rolls and wheat kaiser rolls. The bulkies always go faster than the wheat rolls do.

    It was just my luck Sunday night that we ran out of them, and we weren't getting any more until the next truck.

    People FLIPPED. I didn't it was possible to get angered over a piece of bread. I guess I thought wrong once again.

    One kid called me roll racist because we favored wheats over whites....


    Cheesy Priest

    I was coming back from break and the CW who relieved me was standing at the counter with a small pan of Parmesan cheese and was sprinkling some onto a kid's salad. He sees me coming back and tells me he's tossed it over the counter a couple of times like he was baptizing the crisp creations.

    In the name of the feta, and of the 'san....


    This is New

    Me: Would you like any cheese or will that be all?
    SC: No.

    No to....what? This is almost as bad as those who answer either or questions with "Yes".


    On WHAT, Damn You!

    Okay, kiddos. I'll give you props. You've finally learned your cheese names so I don't have to use Chinese torture on you to figure you which one you want. Good to know you've been studying.

    Where you lose credit, though, is in the fact that while you managed to rattle off an 8-item sandwich order, you neglected to tell me what kind of bread this monstrosity was going on to. Play the Song of Time backwards and start over. You will lose any items you're carrying though.


    Thanks, Buddy

    So to say Sunday sucked is an understatement. We had over 500 people show up for dinner, which is 200 more than we usually do. I had a 40-minute stampede of people at the deli counter which led me to run out of supplies several times, forcing the line to a standstill while I restocked meats and veggies. Every time I looked up, there were at least 15 people in line. It was ridiculous.

    Before my shift, a couple friends and I binge-watched The Muppet Show because we are just too awesome like that. One of our favorite clips was this one here:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN5Mqr6tRlw

    So to lift my spirits after dealing with such a stampede, I started whistling the odd little music in the background of that scene. Next thing I hear is this loud "HUGGA WUGGA" from the soda dispensers. I look over and spot one of the Muppet-bingers grinning at me.

    I love my friends to death, I really do.


    No, Just Stare at Them

    Saturdays the commuter cafeteria closes early, so all of the salads and sandwiches they made get brought into my cafeteria so we can give them out for free before they spoil. We have this awesome display cooler next to my station just for that reason.

    We've been doing this since September, and I still get the deer-in-headlights look when I tell students that they can just take them.

    On the opposite end of the spectrum I always get at least one student who stuffs his pockets with as much as he can fit in them.


    And rest for a week. I get next weekend off for an MTEL test and some good ol' fashioned fun.

      And what would "good ol' fashioned fun" be?

      Barn raising? Churning butter? Starting a religion? Religious crusades? Offering human sacrifices to Poseidon in return for a save voyage?

      Just wondering.

        Wouldn't that technically be "rollcist?" or "breadcist?" or "loafcist?"

              Playing the Song of Time slowed time down in LoZ:MM. Playing it normally sent you back to the first day.

                No, Loafcist is people who refuse to accept Bat Out Of Hell as the superior song of the modern age!

                  Can't argue with that ^_^ I wish they'd put that on Rock Band, just so I can see the look on the "guitarist's" face....

                    Oh I never played it, :-( Only the first one. I do have the Legend of Zelda collection Game Cube CD with it on there I should finally get cracking.

                      *cracks whip* get to it. It's amazing.

                      I'm playing OoT: MQ myself when I get the chance and I'm having a blast with it. Sure puts you in your place, though.

                      Okay...don't laugh...but I'm a Harry Potter freak. I love the series. So Boston's science museum is hosting the traveling exhibit, so my circle o' friends are all going together on Sunday after dealing with the MTEL on Saturday. Plus, that museum's just too much fun to go to as it is.

                      Although religious crusades sounds fun too...after the Cheese Priest thing I could probably work something out.

                          Okay-phew!

                          I've got my Ravenclaw scarf and my tee that says "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" all ready to go.

                            Hmm...
                            Back of hand phrases? From Harry Potter? Might I suggest "I must not tell lies" instead? Even better, have a nice older lady (in real life, not the character) dress in pink and follow you around for the day...?
