First of all, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stainofmylove is hosting an all-fandom comment meme, and it needs writers (also some more prompts would be cool, but there are some excellent prompts there yet sadly not many ficlets!) I'm sure you can guess what's on my to-do list for Sunday. Besides laundry, making signs for a garage sale, and call various friends and family members.

This article about 25 Things Chef's Won't Tell You mainly told me things I already know (I've worked in a lot of restaurants over the years). One thing, however, annoyed me, which is this article's attitude about servers. Now, I don't know what the chefs said, but speaking as someone who worked in the kitchen and is now waiting tables, the idea that waiters get to take home all this cash tax-free is bullshit. Tips have been taxed since the Regan administration and those tips? Are basically a server's salary. On average, about two-thirds of what I make waitressing is from tips, and my tips depend on a.) how busy it is, b.) how much and of what the customers eat c.) how generous the customer is and c.) how well I serve them. (FYI, living a small tip when you got bad service is completely kosher. Leaving a bad tip because you're old and think that 10% is reasonable is cheap, and leaving a 10% tip because there was one waitress and she had to serve the whole entire restaurant during a rush by herself is bitchy.)
On other note, I actually agree with recycling uneaten bread, because of the few things I don't like about working in a restaurant is the amount of food waste that goes one.

Day 01 - What is your current favourite ship
Day 02 - What was your very first ship?
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?
Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?
Katara x Zuko.
Most pairings have one our two tropes in them that suck me in. Zutara encompasses almost every goddamn one of my bulletproof storytelling kinks.
Day 12 - Who had the best wedding?
Elle and Awesome, from Chuck. This was ridiculously hard to think of, given my that my shipping tastes + tastes in media do not lend themselves to shows where people get hitched.
