I will agree with this, as a cook and a bartender the only people that can usually match the culinary party mentality are nurses and construction workers. The latter two are usually more sober on the job proper but they will definitely match a culinary worker in their off time. Long hours, high stress and random groups of weird coworkers breed a hosed up group ready to party themselves to death.

EMS people drink a fuckton and smoke so, so much weed, but I’ve never seen anyone who likes opiates last for too long before they get fired for narc safe fuckery.

I’ve have seen some hosed up construction workers, between the boozing and doing blow on the job I’m really surprised some of these people have all their fingers.

I'm not saying drugs aren't a problem among nurses, but a friend who works on a state board review panel about licensure removal told me that nurses are by far and away the most common group to have their license stripped for alcohol violations. Dentists and anesthetists are the leaders in getting their license stripped for drug reasons.

In the part of NY I’m in (hudson valley) you’ll get maaaaybe a pre-employment test, and post accident/reasonable suspicion, but basically any policy that says anything about random tests is full of BS. The one place I know that’s actually done random tests doesn’t even test for weed, just what’s in the narcotics box+amphetamines+coke.

Wife and I finished up running through all nine seasons of Seinfeld last night. Since I'm sure it's been discussed plenty in this thread already - my cliffs notes of sorts. - Holy crap it held up really well. Still really funny, and considerably less "Uhhhh, they thought that was funny??" moments than other shows I've re-visted in the past couple years. Seasons 6-9 seem to be packed so full of classic episodes it's really hard to comprehend. Really crazy how just reading titles of episodes could make me laugh as I remember things I hadn't thought of in years. - drat. Another show that I rewatched hoping that there were episodes I hadn't seen. Nope. Despite having watched Seinfeld as it aired less than 10 or so times, I had still managed to catch every single episode over the years. Holy syndication, Batman. - Favorite character remains to be George. The perfect stupid idiot. I love him. Going in my wife (who admittedly hadn't seen a lot of Seinfeld episodes) said she didn't like him. Her mind was thoroughly changed. - Least favorite character remains to be, well, Jerry. I'm pretty thoroughly convinced that the show was so drat good because of Larry David. All three of the other main characters are so much funnier. All three repeatedly steal scenes right and left. Mental note - I really need to give Curb Your Enthusiasm a try. - Julia Louis-Dreyfuss is a national treasure and I think I might re-watch all of Veep just to get more. - I am more sad about Michael Richards being such a poo poo head than ever. Ugh. He was so perfect as Kramer. Why'd you gotta be like that, man? Still makes me laugh at every ridiculous slapsticky entrance, over reaction, pratfall and weird noise, but drat it. - Favorite random rear end people to see in episodes: Patton Oswalt's first role, and Mr. Show era appearances by Bob Odenkirk, Brian Posehn, and Kyle Gass. In spirit of the thread - things that didn't really work anymore. - Jerry's stand up intro bits. Yikes. I'm into stand up more than the average person. I have numerous favorites, go to multiple shows per year and occasionally will go to clubs with my wife regardless of who's there. I know making fun of Jerry's observational humor "What's the deal with...." stuff is a cliche, but Jesus. There's no way Larry David wasn't 95% responsible for this show being a success. - There's a 5th season episode called "The Masseuse" with a sub plot of Elaine dating a guy that shares a name with a serial killer. While trying to talk him into changing his name and suggesting alternatives - she's reading an NFL program. She suggests "Deione" (Sanders, i guess?) and then "O.J." The episode aired in November, 1993. The rear end in me wishes it had aired later in the season to be even closer to the Summer of 94. - Clip shows suck. They seem pretty rare now, but drat do they suck. Seinfeld had two. Both were bad. - Despite having so many classic episodes, and despite the final 3-4 seasons being so good, the series really did end on a down note. Third to last episode about getting stuck in a Puerto Rico day parade was really not great. The second to last episode was a drat double length clip show - WTF? And the much maligned finale was, a - not that great and, b - a bit of a clip show in disguise itself. Also, lol at the little subplot about a phone call hierarchy. Chastising someone for making a cell phone call while out on the sidewalk doesn't really hold up that great. Lastly - despite what I said above, my single favorite line in the whole run was a Jerry moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJln8ikWBjg Amen, Jerry. Amen.

From the last time I watched it all the way through (like, a decade ago, easy) I remember the parade episode being one of the few decent ones in the overall bad last season, though I sure as hell couldn't tell you a single funny thing about it now

Watching the clip show and the finale back to back live was brutal. Like Why have a clip show if the final episode is also mostly a clip show? I hated it so much. And while it's been a little while I caught the gay panic episode a couple of years back and it holds up super well. Because the joke is so clearly on them being so uncomfortable with who they are. Like when Elaine gives Jerry the Bette Midler tickets and he gets super depressed about it. "but you love bette midller!" "I know..."

How does a style of material that I don't like so much when it's presented by a guy standing in front of a mic make me laugh so much when it's fleshed out a bit and acted out by a cast? And of course the show repeatedly made fun of itself with the "show about nothing" jokes over and over. There's parts of me that wonder how in the hell the show worked so well, but whatever. A drat classic through and through. Ambitious Spider posted:Watching the clip show and the finale back to back live was brutal.

I genuinely thought the last episode might end with Jerry and the gang pestering someone trying to defuse a bomb and the show ending in a mushroom cloud under the closing music.
