How am I celebrating Christmas Day? I’M GOING TO STARBUCKS.

AND HOW ARE YOU CELEBRATING? YOU’RE WORKING AT STARBUCKS!!!

Sad.

I worked at a Starbucks for a miserable two weeks in November 2007. I remember the manager putting up a bulletin on the incorrigibly chirpy bulletin board saying “Want to work on Christmas Day? Earn triple time!”, with five slots for employees to write their names. Half an hour later, my co-workers were fighting over who could get the last shift. A couple had even come from home, just to get their name on the sheet.

I don’t want to say that Starbucks is soul-sucking - that would imply that they have something meaningful or at least substantial to offer - but I do think that working there implies soullessness. Or at least a complete lack of personality. How else could someone be so interested in giving up their Christmas Day for $27/hr?

“I usually get to work between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Of the 16 people at the company, eight of us live here in Chicago. Employees come to the office if and when they feel like it, or else they work from home. I don’t believe in the 40-hour workweek, so we cut all that BS about being somewhere for a certain number of hours. I have no idea how many hours my employees work — I just know they get the work done.”

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:40:09 -0400

mariakonstantinov:

British artist Stephen Wiltshire is currently attempting to draw the Manhattan skyline from memory. since Monday October 26th. Wiltshire began filling in an 18 foot canvas at the Pratt institute, Brooklyn. The drawing is expected to be complete by Friday. You can follow his progress through the live webcam here.

Wiltshire diagnosed with autism at the age of three displays an unusually powerful photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.
