It’s a food place. Having people who actually _want_ to work there might be a rarity. I think in many cases, they are staffed with people who need a job and will work anywhere, but aren’t particularly enthusiastic about it and will do the minimum needed to get through each day and not get fired.

(I’m not saying that’s everyone, but I’ve worked in the service industry and that described most of the coworkers I remember. Even me on some days, though I usually tried to do a good job because I felt bad if I didn’t.)

The air quality is bad ( and it smells horrible ). It seems like it’s starting to penetrate the house…

I’ve been told similar. I want to scream at these idiots. When I’m interested in something, I can study/work on it until the cows come home. Sooner or later though, I’m going to wig out.

Someone living in the area maybe a half-mile from us was setting off what seemed like mortars last night. Not the usual firecrackers or cherry bombs, but something creating reverberating booms.

Fortunately, we’ve had about 3 1/2 inches of rain in the last few days to relieve our mild drought, so there’s much less chance of these idiots setting fires. And they generally take their sad soggy selves indoors after 10:30 pm.
