Let’s be honest: Jesus wouldn’t take the wheel. Jesus would let Peter drive, fall asleep in the back seat, wake up to the sound of the other eleven screaming in mortal terror (while Peter bellows expletives at the car in front), and get them out of a fatal car accident at the very last second by rebuking the speed limit.

Finally, some sound theology on this issue.

I love these memes about immortal characters getting grumpy over how wrong the history books are, because they’re presuming that the immortal in question:

a. was consistently in the right place the right time to have an inside perspective on what was going on;

b. was actually paying attention;

c. understood what they were looking at; and

d. remembers the details after decades or centuries.

I can’t help but imagine that if I was immortal, reading the history books would be less “wrong, wrong, wrong” and more “oh, so that’s what that was all about”.

you know that part in lilo & stitch where nani is complaining about stitch and she walks into the kitchen and stitch is just. there. raiding the fridge. and they look at each other. then stitch just shuts the fridge door and leaves. that’s what having roommates is like. sometimes you’re nani. most of the time you’re stitch

my aunt was talking to someone she goes to church with about the bakery that wouldnt bake wedding cakes for gays or whatever and the lady she was talking to was going on about how she shouldnt HAVE to and my aunt says

“karen, would jesus bake the cake”

“…………..[sighs] i guess jesus would bake the cake.”

This never stops making me laugh. Which prolly makes me a terrible, cynical person, but oh well.

You go into your job, you piddle around getting coffee and getting “set up” every morning when you’re on the clock, you spend an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon on Facebook, you mess around on the internet in between that, and you have a custodial staff cleaning up after you.

You don’t have to do the cleaning yourself. You don’t have bosses telling you “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean.” You have time to lean. You lean on your desk during the mid-afternoon slump and no one says anything except to remark on how many hours you have to go. You lean on your friend’s cubicle wall while you talk about the big game or your guild raid or who said what about whom on TV last night. Sure, if you do that too often or too obviously, someone will say something, but the mere fact that conversation happens isn’t automatically taken as a red flag that someone is stealing time from The Company.

You might have to kiss up to the boss or a touring client from time to time, but mostly, you don’t have to provide service with a smile or anything like that. You don’t have to smile and speak cheerfully and politely to customers who are making your job difficult by their apathy, entitlement, and disrespect. You can sit there and grimace and sneer and roll your eyes at the computer monitor, muttering under your breath (or speaking out loud to your neighbors) about what a live one you’re dealing with as you type out your considered and professional reply. Whatever your job is, you’re just expected to do it, not do it and perform the emotional labor of a continuous mask of unflappable perkiness.

Your schedule is not a weekly guessing game. It’s not set by someone playing chicken with the part-time/full-time boundary. You aren’t expected to come in before your shift to get everything set up or stay after you’ve clocked out in order to clean everything up for tomorrow. You don’t live in a state of constant tension between the fact that you don’t make enough money even with the hours they deign to give you and the fact that they give you hours designed to ensure you can’t have any life or commitments outside the job.

White collar workers are paid with the expectation that they will have done their jobs within the time that they spend in the office, not that they will have worked a solid 8 or 10 hours the entire time they were on the clock.

Minimum wage workers are treated like if they aren’t performing two or three jobs the entire time they’re on the clocks, they’re stealing their wages.

Source: I have worked white collar office jobs, and listened to my friends who have worked minimum wage service jobs. I could probably still do the former, if I hadn’t transitioned and if transportation weren’t an issue. I know for a fact I could not do the latter.

I have worked both types of jobs and this is very accurate.

even the micromanaged white collar jobs are still less intensely policed than minimum wage jobs.

To every fucking Desk Jockey calling fast food workers “Burger Flippers”

i’ve also worked both kinds of jobs and yeah, 100% accurate

I also certify this shit.

I’ve done both kinds of jobs and I will never not reblog this because it’s 100% accurate.

Agreed. I’ve also done plenty of both.
