I just spent an enchanting evening at work where we have installed a new system to manage orders and credit cards and whatnot...
I now have a nifty little plastic card thingy that I have to slide through the credit card slot while managing. It makes my job seem -- tangible. Like I'm really a manager - and don't just play one in some deli.
Still - the little plastic card doesn't ward off impatient pricks. I'd like to slide it across the jugular of several of the clientele that came in tonight and raised a ruckus. A ruckus I say.
And - it doesn't magically create all possible combinations of menu items -- those weird requests we get have to be manually entered as we come across them -- thus the ruckus with the impatients.
Now I'm at home -- and in six hours I will be in the shower -- waiting to experience the thrill of computerized chaos all over again.
I just wish I could play Defender on those touchscreens.
And I wish someone would paint a portrait of willi that sells for $900...

thats one fine looking snarf.
