Dressed in black... what a surprise!
“I just have to keep going to work and hoping for the best.”
Yep. Hope for change.
I have no idea what it means.
A "rising talent" is someone on the way up.
A "rising voice in the industry", or something like that.
A "rising freshman" is a meaningless phrase.
One would think that they'd all rise or leave (eventually).
Considering that it's summertime, the "rising" should have already occured. You either stood out in your freshmen year, or you didn't.
It’s actually a young woman, I guess. Some FReepers on the thread have located her MySpace page.
I agree. I was a walking idiot in my late teens. I got over it.
Now that pics have been located, it might have something to do with yeast.
Ewwwwww.
Funny, though.
Yep, it sure does. That's why most of us do what ever we have to to better ourselves so we can rise above minimum wage.
That being said, why should idiot high school and college kids expect anything else. No experience, very little education, and most with an attitude. I've been on the manager side, and, believe me, that can suck too. :-)
My best friend won a "Silver Spatula" award from McDonalds when he worked there right after college almost 30 years ago. He's now in charge of medical record coding at one of the top 15 hospitals in the country. He keeps the award on the wall in his office to (1) remind him of how far he's come, and (2) to remind him that he never wants to go back there.
I was sure that that was a joke. Apparently it’s not.
Listen up, idiot. Subway is doing you a favor hiring your useless blob of flesh to make sandwiches. They exist to make money, not to serve your liberal ego. They have to pay you the minimum wage because that’s the law, but you aren’t worth the price of the plastic bags with your attitude. Put the rings back in and go apply for a job with the democrat party. They like lazy, self-absorbed idiots like you.
Several things annoy me about this.
This idiot has a column?! Obviously the paper likes him because they call him “a rising freshman.”
If he were worth anything as an employee, he would get more hours.
What is he saying about the plastic bags? Should each customer get an unwrapped sandwich? Should the sandwich be wrapped in paper only? Should the customer be required to bring in a plastic bag? Should there be one plastic bag for each 10 customers?
This kid is obviously already a raving lunatic of a leftist wacko. He’ll go far in the democrat party.
“Addison Herron-Wheeler is a rising freshman at Virginia Commonwealth University...who is voting for Obama for change.”
If he’s old enough to vote by then.
Dems do not care about that, even the dead can vote:)
“I was a walking idiot in my late teens. I got over it.”
Youthful ignorance is a rite of passage for most people. All grow-up but unfortunately many remain ignorant.
Based on the influences found in her MySpace profile, she’s got to be the same person who wrote this:

At the same time, it is disrespectful for an employer to expect an employee to be availible at any given time but unwilling to give him sufficient hours to support himself. Most of my employers, though, gave me as many hours as I wanted.

Let me guess, you worked hard and didn't whine like little miss lip ring. I wonder if there's a correlation? ;)
I wonder if he could get a job ast Jess’s.
One part time job I took, I was led to believe that the pay was 11 bucks an hour. When I got my first paycheck, it came to about 8.35 an hour, before taxes. Rather than quit, I stayed with the job, figuring it was better than nothing. And hoping that in time my pay would be raised to 11 bucks an hour. 4 and a half years later, I was let go (the business had moved out of state) and my pay was still nowhere near 11 bucks an hour at the very end of the job.
Considering that it's summertime, the "rising" should have already occured.
Er, no. A 'rising freshman' will typically start in the fall semester. She probably starts at the end of August. A better term would be 'recent high school graduate.'
Yeeeaahhhhh...... I’d use the term “incoming” rather than “rising” in that case.
