The stairs jumped out and tripped me, now I have a bruised toe.

Why not do a basic food safety course? It could help you find a job (a server, anyone even passing food to customers in a container is considered a food handler like a cashier, even a dishwasher because they handle clean dishes that touch people’s food), and it’ll help you keep you from getting sick.

One of my first jobs between school years was as a busser before I worked a summer in a chocolate factory. From there, you talk to people and get their insights from their previous jobs, and you figure out if it’s something you could stay in longer or if it’s just a job to pay the bills.

“I’m so hungry, I could eat the ass out of a low flying duck.” “Fuck me dead.”

Might not be idioms, but they do put some weird images in to one’s mind.

That’s awesome. I’m going to have to look in to this more seriously. Thank you for adding more fuel to a tiny little flame. 😊

Environmental Health Officer here… I had a classmate who did a study on this, specifically the Dyson-type where you stick your hands in downwards.

Next time, take a look at what’s there in the 2mm gap on the bottom inside where the water, etc. collects, and where the forced air blows all that material. Remember to not breathe.

There’s a reason why we direct food businesses to use paper towels in the kitchen, not hand dryers. Also, because ain’t nobody got time to properly wash their hands for 30 seconds and then stand there completely drying their hands when they have 20+ chits on the go.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the majority of people don’t know how to wash their hands properly, especially under the nails (both men and women). They’ve just used the hand dryer. Now you use the hand dryer. Multiply that by how many days it is before these things actually get cleaned and sanitised only to be contaminated again by the first user until the next clean and sanitise, if ever. Humans are filthy. 💀

I do remember using a pedal, and I don’t remember it being too hard. I do recall, however, one of the troublemakers in class would put the pedal to the metal and the teacher would give him an earful.

What are some of the things that you’ve sewn? I need a little inspiration, maybe it’s time I pick it up as a hobby and not just for school.

Play guitar, or sew. Guitar because I play woodwinds, so when I’m sick, I’m pretty useless. At least with a guitar, I can cough my lungs out and still somewhat play guitar if I’m not heaving for air. Or someone else can sing for me.

Sewing because then I wouldn’t have to resort to a single needle and thread and have no idea what I’m doing when patching something up. If I could remember how to use a sewing machine from home economics class in highschool, then I could start a little hobby business on the side, and I wouldn’t have to give up my favourite pair of jeans. :(
