So I work at a restaurant.....
And its clientele tends to be wealthy Indian or European families with kids. I haaaaate children and whenever I see them my veins swell with hatred !!!!!!!

Jul 05 14 12:34 am Link This is a great opportunity to practice your acting skills. You will need to be really good to get good tips consistently. Children are very sensitive to other people's emotions, they have learned it is a vital survival skill and the key to success. Their parents will be sensitive to the children and sense that you dislike them. They will tip grudgingly, if at all. You will need to develop good scripts and play this beyond the norm. You must BECOME the happy, children-loving sweetie pie. Over time, you will notice that you love children because they are more open, more creative and way more fun than most of us suck-ass adults. You can act your way to a new way of thinking easier than you can think your way to a new way of acting. There is no payoff in negative thinking and children are inevitable, it is how humans start. Even you.  Jul 05 14 12:48 am Link I think of it this way: I can't always have what I want. Maybe you really can't stand those "short noisy creatures" and they really can be annoying sometimes ... but what would happen if you lived in a place where it was really hard to find and/or keep a job? Or how about if you lived in a place where you weren't sure if you were going to get up in the morning because someone could drop a bomb or missile on you at any moment? As my father used to say ... there are only 2 perfect jobs. The one you just left and the one you're going to next. It took me 30+ years to finally hear him ... there are no ideal situations no matter how much we want one. I realize you're just venting and that's fine. This is much more a mental note for me than a solution for you. It's a reminder to keep internal things on track and external things in perspective.

Go eat your fucking chicken nuggets elsewhere! I'm busy decanting and not interested in feigning interest in your brood. Ugh. Mother's day was always the worst for me.

Doesn't sound like much but for bumblefuck Austria this is huge), big old tray on my shoulder, laden with stuff, kid runs into me, falls down, starts crying. Jul 05 14 08:22 am Link I was photographing a wedding once when a kid ran into me. I don't know what she was doing, but I was standing still and facing a different direction to take the next shot. The split second before I pressed the shutter button, this kid ran into me from the back. It ruined the shot, but it was only a crowd shot, anyway. The impact knocked the kid down. I was expecting to have to deal with an angry parent but no one said a word. The point is kids do stupid and annoying things sometimes, but where would the world be without them? They don't stay young forever so I try to appreciate them for all the things they bring to the world ... good, bad or indifferent. I don't have any of my own and am not looking forward to having any but I do recognize value in them. Jul 05 14 08:29 am Link You need to experiment with different ways of cooking them. Done right they are fine. Jul 05 14 01:27 pm Link Stephen Fletcher wrote: I have allergies. Jul 05 14 01:28 pm Link Amadea T wrote: Perhaps just eat vegan children? I heard they are hypo-allergenic.

Photographer Posts: 4288 Amundsen-Scott - permanent station of the US, Unclaimed Sector, Antarctica This thread isn't going into SB territory, it's going into BSC (Bat-shit-crazy) territory. Voluntary extinction of the human race by people who don't feel the need to off themselves but want to tell the rest of us how to live? I have an 8 month old grandson who might take issue with that... Holy cow... O_o Jul 05 14 07:06 pm Link
