well i'm still staying inside so i took it upon myself to watch the entire extended editions of the lord of the rings movies. (NOT the hobbit)

back when they came out i was like "holy gently caress who's gonna watch a four and a half hour movie" but now, in the days of netflix miniserieses, it actually feels about right for a story of this depth

i once sat through a marathon of all three extended editions at a local movie theater. it was cool and worked out for me because i still had not yet seen return of the king, but at the same time holy poo poo was i ready to GTFO by the end

if you are not open then only rent is left, and the landlord will have a hard time finding another restaurant tenant right now, so they should be willing to work with you.

lol. lmbo. rofl!! look at this clown who believes in rational actors!!! :xd:

some landlords, yes, sure. there's already plenty of evidence that residential landlords are being massive pricks, so i have little doubt that there are plenty of commercial landlords doing the same. especially when at least some restaurants are doing pretty alright on takeout/delivery business (i know a local chinese place that's regularly quoting people 30-45+ minute wait times in the evenings) so i'm sure there's plenty of landlords saying "just offer takeout! what's so hard about this??"


quote:

so why are they getting hit so hard? do restaurants categorically just not keep cash in the bank? are they so levered up with debt that any disturbance brings the whole house of cards tumbling down?

i could be talking out my rear end here but it's probably a good idea to assume the average american business is levered the gently caress up


quote:

or could it be that restaurant owners, like all small business owners, are complaining to try to get a bailout because they are Pieces Of poo poo and i shouldn't listen to anything they say?

and yes, i'm sure there are restaurants who are in fact Doing Okay (comparatively) and are still lying about their state of affairs so as to try to score some cash

yeah under "normal" circumstances i've always figured that if i hit the point where i was down to six months of cash in savings, i'd ask to move back in with my mother at least until i got poo poo sorted out again.

Broken Machine posted:

one of my last jobs there was this guy who would go out and party and just... not show up for weeks at a time. he was salaried but he didn't take leave or anything and they still paid him. he didn't even try to hide it; managers would call up and ask and he'd be honest that he'd been too busy with his social life to make it to work. i guess he was good at what he did because for whatever reason they let him keep doing this

i'm gonna guess he had an in with the owners who basically told management "as long as this guy is not creating a major risk of lawsuit, he can do whatever the gently caress he wants." at my last job i briefly worked with a guy who had that kind of blank check. like, the owners literally told the IT manager "stop trying to discipline him. he can do whatever he wants."

a couple months later, after that IT manager had been fired, the untouchable dude finally got himself fired after he threatened to bring an AK-47 to work and shoot a dude for the capital crime of putting a foot up on his car's fender to tie his shoe.

(yes, yes, yes, yes, before anyone thinks this is a great time to demonstrate how in love with their car they are - yes, i understand why someone might be miffed by this behavior. no, it's not worth assaulting the guy and then literally threatening to murder him.)



...except, wait, he technically wasn't fired for that. because he was offered the opportunity to apologize to the guy and retract his statement. it was the fact that he refused to apologize and retract his statement that finally led to him being fired. funny thing, he said in his last meeting he didn't regret it and would do the same thing all over again. also that he had no hard feelings towards the company. weird, weird guy. i'm happy he left when he did because i was tired of dealing with him and it also opened up an employment opportunity at exactly the right time for one of my closest friends, but i'm still a little bummed i didn't get to hear from him how his sure-fire plan to get out of paying all his traffic tickets went.

(he insisted that a buddy in florida had found the perfect loophole to get out of paying fines: the law requires that you pay with real money, real money is only hard currency i.e. gold bullion, gold bullion cannot be owned, ergo it is impossible to pay the fine, q.e.d.

he and the IT manager - who had this weird love/hate relationship - also loved discussing conspiracy theories like chemtrails.)


anyway, while at the time i figured the owners were just scared of losing him and his various accumulated rituals that kept their baling wire and duct tape operation together too early (because they had been planning on replacing the IT manager at minimum), in retrospect they probably were more afraid that if he got pissed at the company he'd run off and report all of the software he'd spent the last few years helping to pirate for them, just like his former co-worker had done a couple of years previously. or maybe he had some other dirt on them. idk.

leaf blowers are an intensely annoying sound


dude across the alley will occasionally spend what seems like half the drat day wandering his roof and waving his leaf blower around. i've watched him do it and it's the most half-assed thing i've seen. he'll frequently blow poo poo onto places he's already blown clean. i'm half-convinced he thinks it hasn't been a productive day if he hasn't made a bunch of noise.

i'm not exaggerating either, it's not just a big pickup or something, dude's got some kind of side hustle and occasionally will work on a literal no-poo poo dump truck in the alley.

its the people who live the disney lifestyle that get me. the ones whose entire non-working life is spent visiting disney theme parks and resorts, staying in disney hotels, and taking disney cruises

i've got a relative who has a bizarre compulsion to go to disneyland - not just any disney park but one in anaheim - every year at exactly the same time of year. they've been doing it for like ten years now or some poo poo like that. supposedly it's something to do with "oh that's when/where we got ~engaged~!" but it is the absolute most baffling thing to me.


like, gently caress, i've been to disneyland twice - once when i was like eight, again when i was seventeen, both were family trips - and i have no particular urge to go back, but if i was going to be that big into disney parks i would at least save up and go to disneyworld at some point. right? wouldn't you have some desire to check out the big one in florida if you were that big on disney vacations?? or, hell, even if i was fixated on disneyland specifically, maybe go at different times of the year? see the stuff they do for like halloween or christmas?

but no. every year, same time of year, they drag their family down there. totally baffles me.

MAD Magazine may literally be the only thing of value that lovely generation shat, although (like all things it claims to have created) it didn't make it: just kept the engine turning over while other, better generations created the value the Boomers pillaged and ruined as soon as they had the ability (while taking credit).

gently caress boomers, but MAD was v.deece.

MAD was created in the 50s by earlier generations, unless we're doing the "everyone older than I am is a boomer" thing

when we lived in the trailer park the head maint dude and his wife got in a huge three month fight and he would spend seven hours a day leaf blowing three pieces of trash back and forth across the playground next to our lot

the gently caress is it with dudes leafblowing their roofs? i remember for a while the guy across the alley from me would spend hours loving running the leafblower across the roofs of his house and sheds and other probably-illicit accessory buildings he's put up back there. i've got a buddy who lives next to a trailer park and one of the nearby guys would also spend ages running the leafblower on their roof.


my alley neighbor doesn't do that poo poo any more but i think it's because he got himself a dump truck and will instead spend his time working on it. he's lately taken to hitting it with a pressure washer for a while sometimes. do older dudes literally just run leafblowers because they're bored and need to have made a bunch of noise to feel like they accomplished something in a day?
