- ok, stumbleupon has forced this site on me for the last time. i really don't like giving thumbs down, i usually just keep going to the next site, but i have to do it. this site is totally ridiculous. here are a few examples of the writing. i apologize in advance - "How do you modify a steak medium well?" the waitress, a sylph of a girl no older than nineteen, begs. It's Saturday night and Café Machiavelli is bursting at the seams. Impatient customers waiting to be seated are laying siege to the hostess stand. Since my section's closest to the entrance, I get to hear the panicked bleating emanating from the entitled hordes. Aggravated, I remember how defenders of medieval castles repelled besiegers by dumping cauldrons of boiling oil on top of their heads. Now that I think about it, I do have access to a deep fryer. I look at the wife, surprised she divulged so much information. On closer inspection, I notice her face is a taut mask of anxiety. She's caught in the grip of a stress that only comes from worrying about money. Without lifting a finger to help him, I watch as Willem falls into the restaurant's whirling center and gets crushed inside its ravenous core. "Better him than me," I say to myself, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. As we count the money the smell of cigarette smoke and the soft murmur of tired bitching fills the air. jesus christ. i'm sure your 8th grade english teacher is very proud.

- Ok, so I haven't actually rated the homepage. This is a somewhat interesting blog about a guy who is a waiter and some of the kinds of things he puts up with.
I realize the guy tries a bit hard to make his words flowery, but at the same time, he writes well enough to keep the story interesting and to accurately portray the characters. I wouldn't say I'm "hooked" because I only wind up reading when SU drops me off here, but I usually do try to read the article on the outside chance that it IS worth reading.
If the vocabulary doesn't bother you, it's worth reading once in a while. - Ok, so I haven't actually rated the homepage. This is a somewhat interesting blog about a guy who is a waiter and some of the kinds of things he puts up with.

- Definitely one of the better written personal blogs out there. This guy manages to take his daily life and write about it in a way that's appealing to people who don't know him. That's a rare gift online!

- Very well-written and thoroughly entertaining. Not just rants about crappy customers, either.

- I like the somewhat arrogant authors style at wait rant so he gets the thumbs up although admittedly I never vist the blog unless I stumble across it during a marathon stumble session and generally have nothing much to say about the thing. but... It's Saturday night and Café Machiavelli is bursting at the seams. Impatient customers waiting to be seated are laying siege to the hostess stand. I had to comment on this ... I have never ever figured out the willingness of patrons to stand around waiting for a table at a variety of places. I have no desire to argue with the hostess and wait for ages for a seat.. .. The must be seen at place is usually the last place I was ever willing to try to get a table at. If I'm paying for the privilege of having you cook my meal and serve it to me I also don't want to listen to hundreds of other diners packed in and babbling over their food. I want a table wihtin a reasonable period of time.. and if someone is meeting me later handle it. I am not dumb enough to make loud complaints about a place losing my business.. I know they don't care.. in their fantasy the lines will be there forever.. but even if they aren't ... they are now and everyone has to live with it or move on. Personally... it's a very very very rare cook who could create a meal worth waiting for and I'd much rather spend my time eating that meal and moving on to more fun activities than standing around with the foodies waiting for a table so I could say I at at so and so's.

- An entire website dedicated to the angsty rants of uneducated gits stuck in jobs that suck because they're unmotivated to achieve more.
