People,

So last night the rock crew and entourage headed out to celebrate Jordan's birthday. Since we're very high class as well as wealthy, we naturally chose a bowling alley to host this event. Nothing too exciting happened, except that we weren't allowed to bowl because of league night. Fine, right? Well, sorta. You see, various members of our party had called in earlier to reserve lanes and were told that we could bowl at nine. Then when we got there we were told it would be more like eleven. Then we were finally told ten. This ineptitude also would have been somewhat OK (albeit annoying) if it had not been delivered with a whole smorgasboard of profanity and rudeness. That just made it infuriating. I mean, three separate dudes cursed out the people we were with. WTF?

All this brings me to my point of the day, don't take a service industry job if you hate serving people! I mean, I understand how crappy some jobs are if you aren't in the mood to do them. I know working at the bowling alley probably gets pretty old. But if your job essentially is to be nice to people and to try to accomodate them, then at least make a half-hearted effort. And if you can't, then it's time to recognize that there are plenty of jobs where you can sit at a desk in the back somewhere be crabby all damn day. Don't use your unhappiness to ruin the experiences of others. I mean, we were so pissed that when a lane finally opened up we said forget it, finished our drinks and left.

I mean, that sucks. Am I right?
