Deep thought in the kitchen

Worker 1: Hey, what's the good word?

Worker 2: Oh...Friday's the good word.

Worker 1: Friday? Why is Friday the good word?

Worker 2: Because Friday is payday.

Worker 1: So shouldn't payday be the good word?

Worker 2: Yeah, I guess...payday is the good word.

Worker 1: Why's payday the good word?

Worker 2: Because we get money on payday.

Worker 1: So shouldn't money be the good word?

Worker 2: Okay money is the good word?

Worker 1: Why's money the good word....

I could go on but do I have to? This while spending an hour and a half straight checking lettuce.
No, seriously, I love my summer job as a mashgiach (or as my id badge says "Mashiagh"). I kind of have a thing for cooking and baking, and part of the job is helping the kitchen staff with preparing and serving the meals. So I learn a thing or two on the job, and alot of the workers are nice people. And I get my own office. So things turn out pretty well. The only problem right now is getting there. Of my last two adventures with the transit system, I have been twenty minutes late getting home, and today getting to work. The alternative, which would be to drive (and which I do most of the time) is much more expensive, because I'm not the only one who uses the car, and filling up more than once a week is a killer.

You mean you wish you had a nametag that said, "Hi, my name is Kevin DuBROW."
