I used to work in fast food. On balance, it was one of the most satisfying jobs of my life (I've had jobs that are more fun, and certainly jobs that pay more) because a) everyone there did what I told them to, including the manager, and b) corporate didn't ever fuck with register monkeys.
Unlike here, where it's kind of like "At some unspcified later date we're not going to serve any burgers with tomatoes. We're not planning on telling you when that is, nor will we pull the tomatoes out of stock so that you can't do that, but you will most definitely be held accountable if you serve a burger with a tomato on our magic day of not doing that."
Yeah, in hindsight I should have done that too, but I didn't think of the options. I mean, I was in college almost before TEH INTARWEBZ, how the fuck would I actually go about getting a job writing comic scripts in the days when we were engraving shit on giant fucking rocks?

Maybe I'll do one of those create-your-own-majors in Asceticism and Hermitry (I prefer Hermitude, frankly, but I doubt that's a word)
