We all have at one time worked minimum wage jobs when we were teenagers. Minimum wage jobs are something you do when you’re in high school … maybe college, and in less common ways in graduate school. Then you move on and do something more productive. There is nothing I find more self satisfying than seeing the 32 year old pizza guy delivering pizza to my house. I just absolutely love it! In this country, everybody has at least the opportunity to go to a community college, and it isn’t that difficult to go to a state university, if you choose to do that. So anybody who is 32 and is asking me if I want paper or plastic … At one time we drank milk from our mommy’s baba, but eventually you put the baba down and drink from a cup. If somebody is 32 and still drinking out of a baba, then you got a problem. People get mad at me when I bag on those who work low run jobs. Have I worked at a Carvel Ice Cream store? Yes I have. Was I a telephone solicitor and did I sell bottom of the barrel stuff? Yes I have. Did I work as a cashier at a grocery store as I was a kid going to college? Yes I did. Did I deliver newspapers? Yes I did. Did I sell advertising in lousy community newspapers over the telephone and make minimum conditions. Yes, but I did these things while I was working my way towards something better. I am not coming over to wax your car today. I don’t do detailing. I’m not coming over to your place to deliver pizza. I’m not going to bring groceries to your car. Ok.

Here’s a rewarding career. Here’s someone who knocked up his girl friend, and you know who I’m talking about. The guy who stands at the exit at Costco with the yellow high lighting pen. And he looks … of course you got 6 worth of stuff in the cart … and he gives this cursory glace to your cart … you can’t see everything that’s in the cart. Then he takes that yellow marker and runs it through the receipt, so you can’t try going through the exist again. That’s very rewarding work. *sarcasim* I just want to know the name of your bastard child and where the mother lives. When I see that guy, I’m sorry, but I can’t help thinking about that.

Ya know, when I’m in a fast food joint and I’m deciding whether I want pastrami on my burger or cheese steak. I’m sorry, but I can’t help thinking, "what time does the baby sitter have to go home tonight?" I’m sorry, but I can’t help thinking it.

When I go in for a .99 oil change, and there you are draining all the transmission fluid out of my car. I’m sorry, but I can’t help thinking, "does this place actually have a retirement plan?"It’s just the way it is.

Ya know, we all start at ground zero. Most of us start with very little. Some of us with nothing. We all have the same public school systems. And we have community colleges. We have state universities. We have opportunities to do things with our lives. We also have the opportunities to use condoms, to not have sex with trailer trash that’s gonna get knocked up. We have opportunites. We have decisions to make during our lives. Yes I think it’s perfectly fantastic when you’re a senior in high school and working as a cashier at Costco. I think that’s great. When you’re 16, 17, or 18 … that’s great. But when I read these stories in the newspaper about people working at Albertsons the supermarket, talking about going on strike, and you got interviews with 38 year old people who are cashiers … I’m laughing my butt off at you. I’m laughing my butt off. I’m sorry, I know it’s politically incorrect to say this, because you’re suppose to say that everyone is equal, everything is beautiful in it’s own way, you’re suppose to say these things, right? And every job is good and great to have hard working Americans … that’s what you’re suppose to say. But the reality is that some of you guys just decided to ride bear back when you were 16 and now you’re stuck going on strike at Albertsons or where ever you’re going on strike. You kidding me?

how much noise does a child need to make before you as the parent should apologize to nearby adults?

 

My baby was pretty quiet on her first airplane ride to visit relatives, except for about 30 seconds of crying as her ears popped. It was loud and in a contained space it sounded louder to me. I apologized to the guy next to us for all the noise when we landed and he acted surprised, and said the baby had behaved very well, seemed happy, so there was no need to apologize.

A bit later my daughter started learning to babble. I was grocery shopping at Costco and babbling back to her and saying mom stuff, like "who is my beautiful baby? ba ba ba!" and so forth. The kid was wide awake and in a really great mood, 6 months old, really smiley, laughing and answering "ba ba ba" back to me in her stroller. You know the stuff, and it’s new to her (our only child) so I was eating it up that she was imitating me. Anyway, a lady told me to try harder to keep the baby quiet because it was bothering her.

I’d say in terms of decibels we were being way quieter than we were on the plane, and Costco is a large, warehouse-style store with large open rows, where sound is absorbed readily. Also, on the plane she was clearly unhappy/in pain, which you’d think would bother people more, whereas in Costco she was making happy baby noises. They were not shrieks at all. It was cooing, laughing, and ba ba ba.

On the plane maybe people behave better toward infants because they know there’s nowhere to go anyway, so they may as well be polite? Or maybe people out grocery shopping tend to be in worse moods on average than people flying to Miami for the weekend? Anyway, what is an acceptable noise level for a baby before you cart them back to the car and try shopping again another day?
