I've managed to break a shower door, sending shards of glass at my face and hands, break a coffee pot and screwed up on a reservation. It's only 2:30, I'm here until tuesday, anyone else having a shitty day? - Sun, 25 Jan 2004 8:19am

Wow, Sunday must of been a generally bad day for a lot of people. In my Bujitsu class I managed to bruise my small toe, one guy tweaked his knee, one guy was choked out accidently by our Sensai (we were learning chokeout techniques), then a third student managed to screw up his ankle. - Mon, 26 Jan 2004 11:28am

WOW, that place is a blast from the past! I see JP Asfar turned his old stomping ground into a resort. Too funny. I remember partying in that place when it was his bachelor pad and he wanted us all to watch his video about Rock 'N Roll music (and bands) being the Devil's plan to keep us all preoccupied from what is really going on in the world. The movie was called "Rock 'N Roll Sorceror"......... he's still got the same friggin' couch in there I see. GUFFAW! MTWG, do you ever talk to John?

SO THERE! THAT's what this place has to do with MUSIC. - Mon, 26 Jan 2004 4:16pm

My day went that I went to work, and my best friend who is now the new g/f of my boss was hired on the spot and i got promoted back to dishwashing where i get no tips and a crappy $6 an hour from being a waitress. I'll kill who ever made up the idea "sleeping your way to the top" - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 12:34pm

You make $6 per hour?!? And you work where?!? That's a joke, you should be making minimum rate at least. And your not tipped out? Now i understand why I have little patience working for restaurants these days. - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 12:37pm

If you have 6 months work experience they aren't allowed paying you under minimum wage FYI - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 1:06pm

Well after that law came into play, a lot of owners wouldn't pay that much per hour so they decided to pay the minimum rate. Of course, some people are afraid of mentioning it to their boss in fear of losing their jobs so they put up with it. In all honesty, how can ANYONE survive making that much money per hour? - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 1:08pm

No one can live off of it, only if your working like a 12 hour shift every day. I work there cause i like my schedule and the people I work with and I don't want to fucking go all the way into town for a 4 hour shift, thats 2 hours of traveling if you have to take the people tube, though my boss is kinda weird cause she's going through menopause and the other boss who is sleeping with my best friend just fucking freaks me out. And they pay me the freakin' 6 bucks cause I'm just a lowly dishwasher, though doing prep, bussing, being one of the cashiers and fucking cleaning the restaurant at close should surely deserve more then 6 bucks with no tips, or am I just being fucking loney when I think that? - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 1:47pm

That is some funny shit RSBF, seems like everyone knows JP though. I see him once a week usually, shall I give him your regards? He got married a few weeks ago too, to Karen Lang. I guess since you hung out at that place you must know John Emberton. His gf was telling me about Rock and Roll sorcerer(sp?!!!), then I told her to go watch Bowliing For Columbine, haha.

Well it makes me feel better knowing I wasn;t the only one with a shitty sunday, though most of yours were worse off than mine!

Ya, the minimum wage $6 is ridiculous, how can the governemnt expect anyone to go out and get their first job at that insult. - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 4:25pm

8.00 per hour IS the minimum wage, but if it's your FIRST job, they can pay you 6.00 per hour as a training wage, but only for the first 6 months. If you are being shafted, speak out. It is unlawful for ANY employer to punish you in ANY way for standing up for your rights. If this is not your first job, or you have been there for more than 6 months, you're getting screwed. The reason small business owners (food service industry in particular) abuse the system is that they are allowed to by the very people that they are screwing. If everyone knew their rights and stood up for them, this sort of bullshit would come to a screeching halt.... in a perfect world.

WHOOOOOOOOAH, he married Karen Lang?????? CRAZY. What ever happened to April? I do know John Emberton and the gang but it's literally been years. Used to run into JP at Club Phoenix a few years ago a lot. Tell him HI from "Erdei" and congrats on finally getting married.

Another funny thing about JP. He wanted to pay for me to have my burning cross tattoo lasered off. Too funny. - Thu, 29 Jan 2004 12:21pm

I always thought $8.50 was the minimum wage. I dunno cause I've been working for $10.65 per hour at the Wellesley (and since my probation is finished I now make something like $11.35 per hour). Think that's a lot?!? Apparently I should be making $13 per hour, not that I'm bitching or anything, cause i only work 12 hours per week (usually). - Thu, 29 Jan 2004 1:43pm

the biggest joke is the amount of people in their thirties that were complaining that if they were to get off welfare now it wouldn't be worth their while because they could only make 6.00 per hour. Just another excuse for them to sit on their ass and collect next months cheque. - Thu, 29 Jan 2004 3:16pm

LOL so these people on welly have been all their lives then??

Because if youve had 6 months of ANY job expierence*or 500 technical hours or whatever* then minimum is 8.00 - and I also think an employer who would willingly pay that is a fuckwad, letalone one who demotes his employees to it from higher wage - Kick him where it hurts - Employment Standards - just bring him a copy put it down say you owe me some money and leave ahha, it clearly outlines it there and I know you have had over 6 months work experience, youve been working at the brentwood place for ages right there - Thu, 29 Jan 2004 4:28pm
