That Thread About Work: "Custom kitchen deliveries...!"

There's a sheer lack of orders these days, so I've spent the last two office nights sleeping on the couch. :rockon:

At least that means I'm awake during the day for everyone else I've been missing out on quality time with.
 
Tonight I am writing about an ethnographic and cultural anthropologist look at Disneyland as workplace, re: the happiness trade as an interactional "feeling" business.

Oh boy. Have fun with that.

I'm writing about a thinly veiled Walt Disney analogue who had his consciousness transferred to an animatronic Taft and has now developed a furry fetish.

Is he played by Steve Buscemi? I'd totally approve.

He's played by a robot Taft.

Anyway, I completely forgot the point I was going to make as I typed out the post.

What I wanted to say was that you've got a lot of fodder there. I had a cousin who worked at Disney World for a long time (He's a lunatic preacher now) and they take that "Happiest Place on Earth" **** seriously. The employee handbooks are like every other customer service police to the umpteenth degree. The people who work there are taught to forgo retail costs in favor of the ambience of the place. If a kid breaks a toy in a store, an employee's supposed to have a fresh new version of it in the kid's hands within a minute. At the restaurants, I think the turn-around is supposed to be, like, ten minutes.

I can verify this. I have to work with a lot of orders related to the corporate culture of Disney and probably own more Disney studies books than I'd care to admit.
 
I'm reading an old issue of the magazine Science, published October 2000, for work and in it, they interview then-Presidential candidates Gore and Bush. It's amazing how transparently stupid Bush is, and I fail to understand how the Yanquis among you allowed him to get elected. Twice.
