Trouble in the Restaurant

Unread postby PenultimateManStanding » Tue 24 May 2005, 16:55:36

The restaurant where I work to tide things over during the summer months when my income from substitute teaching dries up is owned by a young couple with little kids. The MaleOwner cheated on his wife with a waitress who is also married with a little kid. The stress of guilt caused him to pass out once and he had to be taken to the hospital. The waitress then quit. The whole thing was rather out in the open and the wife knew about it. I have a medicine-man reputation there because I talk about entheogens such as salvia divinorum. The MaleOwner jokingly asked me for salvia to rearrange his head. Here is where the story line gets interesting and lorenzo will like it. We have a lot of Brazilians who work as delivery drivers. I've had the pleasure of knowing many Brazilians through the years that I have been doing this. I even dated a Brazilian girl which was nice. Now we have a male Brazilian driver who smelled an opportunity since he saw the whole situation play out like a soap opera. It seems he played a little hide-the-salami with the wife whose self-esteem was hurt by her husband's infidelity. Now we're all wondering how this is going to play out and hoping it doesn't bollocks the place. I need the money. People make such a mess of things because Nature dealt us a difficult hand to play. That's why I don't blame anyone for the Peak Oil mess. People are and have generally always been too stupid to take a long term view of things, in my estimation, and are at the mercy of forces they can't control.

I just heard about this yesterday. The old song popped into my head:

Whose makin' love
To your old lady
While you were out
Makin' love?

Lots of good old songs on this theme. Know any?

That's another 'spin' on it! :lol: The MaleOwner is always joking with the Mexican cooks about vergas and culos. He went with the head cook to Las Vegas for a pizza convention and told me when they got back that the cook had ten putos in his hotel room and there was mecha (not sure if that's the word, call it jizm) all over the walls. A real mess for the maid.

Sorry, but we DO have control over it! A friend of mine was talking about cheating on her husband...i asked her how does she think she would feel after it was all said & done. How might it feel when she looked into her kid's eyes (or hubbys for that matter).

In words, she scoffed at me but i know my words sank into her...i know she thought about what i had said...in the end i really don't know what ended up happening. Maybe she decided to cheat, seeing that we really no longer talk (not of anything significant anyway).

But my point is that we DO have control...we don't have to act upon every impulse...if i did...there sure would be alot of dead people around :)

There was a Brazilian girl named Mona who told me about her situation with her lifeguard American boyfriend. Mona was just 20 years old, very pretty, and had a lifeguard boyfriend who was 34 years old. She liked him but he was head-over-heels in love with her. The time was coming when her visa was to expire and she had to go back to Brazil. The boyfriend wanted to marry her but she didn't love him that much that she would give up on Brazil and marry him and become an American. She said that he cried like a baby for hours and hours all through the night. She felt real bad about it. She told me that when she was 17 back in Brazil she was madly in love with some guy who liked her, but not that much. So it goes. Poor guy, that lifeguard. I asked another Brazilian girl driver what she thought of San Diego. She didn't think much of the guys, she said. They don't have anything interesting to say but only talk about sex and drugs and music. She left here to go to Spain in hopes of having a better time. I hope she is having a good time there. I doubt it though. She had an amazingly vicious temper. I've seen at least three Brazilian girls with horrible anger management skills. Lorenzo would say its because they are passionate and sensual, unlike the cold grocers and accountants from the land of the ice people. Whatever.

I like Brazilians. Got a lot of stories about them from working with them for 9 years. They come here for a while and then go back home and a new batch comes to take their place. One of the Brazilian guys made a delivery to a guy in the gay part of town. The fellow came to the door in a robe open in the front with his junk in plain view. The driver was shocked and wanted to call the cops. :lol: I tried to teach him how to say the 'th' sound of English. Described for him how ro place the tongue behind the upper front teeth. He did it right but said it felt 'faggy' and went back to pronouncing it as a 'z'.

Great stories here...
Usually when you meet them in their own country they are calmer though, but you should always be careful... :-D

Of course you are right Ron. And not acting on impusles that will only bring grief would seem to be so obviously in one's own best interest that it just goes to show that such self-control is difficult to achieve and is beyond the reach of so many people. It really amazes me to see these European posters say that Americans are Puritanical. Talk about gross misunderstanding! They think that because nudity is not allowed on mainstream broadcasts that we are a repressed nation. Far from it.

Oh dear, Monogamy is entirely over-rated. I like marriages of convenience/partner on the side system of Spain. As long as both partners get to cheat. The North American model where entire families and restuarants are broken up, because of a lack of faithfulness is dopey. I'm happily married now, but man, I wish I had cheated up a storm in my youth.

You're such a swinger, threadbear, a real libertine! :lol: The restaurant isn't broken up just yet and the MaleOwner tells us that it isn't going to happen. I'll keep you posted.

I have a tale of crazy South American babes with anger management problems...

This guy at my work (not sure if he is Brazilian), got caught cheating on his beautiful (nationality will be checked) Chilean girl. They fought. She bit off the top of his thumb.

a rather spooky Freudian gesture! Here's an old song song by blues singer Bessie Smith called 'Black Mountain Blues" The singer says that her man left her for some city gal:

I'm goin' up to Black Mountain
With my razor and my gun
I'm goin' up to Black Mountain
With my razor and my gun
I'm gonna shoot him as he stands
And cut him as he runs!

About Brazilians and Peak Oil: why don't we see any South American posters here or have I missed them?

Looks like our young restaurant-owner couple are going to be OK. 'pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.' smart; getting older and wiser. Nice to see. They live 60+ miles from the restaurant and food prices are on the cusp of inflation. The future does not bode well anyway. I'll be in this business environment to report here when the problems start.

Well, they fired the Lover Boy from Brazil faster than you can say 'bossa nova' :lol: Not suprising but they had to have a replacement for a driver who was carrying the main load in terms of hours. It isn't easy to find drivers but they lucked out and someone was available to take the slot. So he sambas off into the sunset. . . Question: what happens to someone if they come on a visa and don't have the bucks to return home when the visa expires? do they get a free ride back?

What do you mean, 'what??' specop, do you want to rearrange your head? Salvia will do it. Not a thing like crack. Its a strange and exotic thing altogether. The strangest thing I have ever encountered.

Hey, I'll try anything once.
Except crack, cant try that anymore. For a week afterwards whenever I have a cigarette is tastes like crack.
Weird.

Well, the odd thing about salvia is that its still legal. You can order it over the internet. Try iamshaman.com. Get the 5X. It lasts about five minutes and it is weird beyond belief. Like being in a cartoon universe where everything is made of pebbles or slats. A strong sensation of an internal breeze blowing across the consciousness. more like a strong wind. Research it, it is very intense.
