It's the story of my life man :smirk:

No I definitely don't plan on serving sushi forever. But it's a solid gig right now.
I question what's going to happen come festival season this year.. but he has allowed me to be pretty flexible with taking weekend vacations and such, as long as I give him plenty of advance notice.. I could probably work part time during the summer and he can find someone else to take more shifts. I may even start learning to make sushi and be a part time sushi chef.. I have already made a bunch of rolls.
As for the boss.. I got really stoned and gave him a call :smirk: We had a nice little chat and basically came to the agreement that it's ok for me to keep my hair long as long as I keep it tucked away.. since my hair wont grow any longer and isnt thick as hell and I wear a bandana all the time.. this isn't a problem. He's a very understandable guy. He's just really concerned about image, since a lot of his korean friends and family come in all the time.. so I can understand his position. I just wish he had of expressed this to me 4 months ago when I started.. So I just have to be all gq and shit.. Ima get me one of these



:grin:

It's not like that man. My boss is not that serious about shit.. the whole contract thing was a half joke.. he was showing it to customers and laughing about it, saying he would get the el Salvadorian chick that works in the kitchen to cut it with a sushi knife while I'm sleeping and shit. Yeah, we close from 2:30-5:00pm and take naps. I just pass out across some padded bar chairs.

Signing my name doesn't mean anything. He was just trying to get his point across. The raise thing was just a front.. he wasn't going to give me a raise even if I won.. I practically make more money than he does on tips alone.. I don't need a raise. I told him I made a stupid decision to sign a contract I would never fulfill if I lost (and I told him this when he talked me into writing it...) and he understands. He just wants me to be on time, and keep my hair tucked in. But he's a betting man.. he's always betting gyro platters and food from other restaurants on football games and such. He likes making bets to keep things interesting. I gamble with him sometimes, and I always fulfill my end when I lose when it comes to external things, but a 'contract' on MY hair is entirely different than betting food on a football game.. and is not a real contract. As someone else said in this thread.. Korean people are kooky.

As for my integrity, it remains intact... I would lose my integrity if I cut my fucking hair. That's the point.

cut your hair, seriously, show him you respect him enough to do so, use the
contract as your excuse, joke about it a little, joke about your raise.
you'll probably get it or some other perk, you'll also notice things
in a much different light, attitudes towards you will change

I'm not cutting my hair off. To do so would be disrespecting myself.

shroomism, can you honestly say that you didn't take the deal seriously?

i can look at this objectively, because it has no bearing on my life at all, but i don't think you can.

Yes I can honestly say that I didn't take it seriously, at all.

I mean.. I took it seriously as far as getting to work on time. And I took extra steps to ensure that would happen.
But as far as my hair is concerned, forget about it. No way in fuck. And that's what I told him. And he didn't fire me. So hah.

Sorry.. I don't suck dick for the man.. even if he is cool. I'll do anything he wants me to do to make his place run better, but I'm not cutting my hair for him, not for you, not for my mom, not for the US military, not for fucking anyone. I cut my hair for me and me alone.
And I make stupid bets. Once we had an olive eating contest and the winner had to eat a pube and mayonnaise sandwich. I won, thank god. But I still took a bite out of the sandwich so he didn't have to suffer alone.

this has nothing about sucking dick for 'the man'
this is about learning the worth of your word.

i'm done with this thread...for now.

Well according to you.. my word doesn't mean shit based on my perspective of events..  so who cares?

Quote:


Living on your knees, conformity.
Or dying on your feet for honesty.
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets





That's cool. I guess we just have different principles.
My hair means a lot to me. More than any job. And I have nothing but respect for this guy, but that doesn't mean I'm going to cut my hair for him. I won't cut my hair my Mom, of all people, who I love with all my heart. And believe me.. she has tried.. and she is where I got my stubborness from.
For me, the integrity lies in not laying down and having people dictate how you should think and live your life, or appear. Don't you think I've gotten shit from almost every aspect of society almost all my life because of my long hair? Why should I cave in now? Don't you think I know things would probably be a lot easier for me in society or the "fake world" if I just chopped my hair off and blended in with everyone else. Because that's not the point. Because no one else controls me. I control me and no one else. I will live and grow my hair as I choose.. my hair hurts no one. Giving people friendly advice is one thing.. telling them what to do with their body is another altogether, especially when it doesn't impact you in any way. This issue goes deep for me man... very, very, very deep. It's about a lot more than hair.
But then again... I am pretty stoned :stoned:  :smirk:
Just ask me if I still feel this way next year  :grin:

Moral of the story for me.. stop making bets you could & would never possibly fulfill if you lost.
In fact.. come to think of it.. betting in general is pretty geh.
Like remember the 20k bet swami made with me when I was like.. 18 or 19? Like I'll ever have 20k :smirk: I was lucky to have $20 and food sometimes back then. I take stupid bets. No more.

although having long hair is nice and is something you're used to have for a long time so it's hard to say goodbye to the hair :crazy:
You'll get used really fast to your short hair probably. Ask yourself this: would I be happier with long hair and a job I don't like and have to go to every day because I need the money or would I be happier with short hair and a job I love that I like to go to every day?

finding jobs you like isn't that easy (right?) so although it sucks that you have to make such a tough decision it might be well worth it.

hope this helps, good luck! :sun:

oh and another thing... you won't be cutting the hair for HIM, but for yourself because you like the job and want to keep it. It sucks though that he makes you do it and that some stupid accident got in the way :smirk:

it's just hair, man.

sometimes it's healthy to sever attachments
to keep the ego in check.
