Where I. Live we have toads That are poisonous to dogs if the dog bites the toad.
These are bull frog size and everywhere!
On my evening walk, 15 minutes with my Pup I could see up to a dozen.

I used to play Lacrosse, if I carry my LAX Stick a quick stick move and the toad is trapped and scooped up.
I Launch them out over a lake the travel about 50 yards and go at least 40 - 50 feet high.
I don't think they survive the landing.

Bufo toads are considered an invasive species and should be exterminated in my area.

If you want to be "crazy" just catch one and lick a small amount of the goo on it's back.
The trip, like LSD trip is not one I want!
I had an Aussie friend who, when audible flatus happened to happen audibly, would blame it on unseen but certainly present Cane Toads.

so i have to first off say i love my cooking job its super fun and i get to go to cool venues.
since i was 16 ive worked there part time or whatever, recently taken onto it fulltime, but at the sister resturant away from my step mom.

however as of lately ive been bullied a lot in the kitchen. and i can say i have cried over it.
for sake of living i have put my morals aside and worked somewhere that i have to touch cheese products or meat products or whatever ive come to terms with it and never ever NOT once made a big deal out of it however
im being constantly bullied. the head chef will wave veal in my face and say ouuu tourtured baby cows, or make me strain cow thigh bones from stock just to upset me.
i do it all with a smile on my face cause its a job and i need it.

but its getting to be a bit too much all they talk about is how im a vegan and cant eat anything frankly its annoying yes im a vegan can we move the fuck on now?
i never bring it up they always do ALL THE TIME
from the moment i walk in.

this week i was on call all week and i was told if not herd from her by 2:30 to take the day off, today i messaged her at 12, than 1:30, than messaged her husband on wow, no answer, than called her cell , texted her cell by 2:30 i called the resturant they said she was out, i left a message, i called her cell again i waited till 3:30 and called her YET AGAIN , no answe at 4:45 she says "be here for 5pm"
I said uh, 15 mins is not enough time to get to work, (my work is a 2 hour walk and the bus has gone by by this time and wont come around again for another hour)

anyways after crying on the phone to my mom , i told her i cant be there today as i dont have any means of transportation and she snarkily said FINE we'll just do it without you than


I really really wish i could get back to the main restaurant would much prefer that its also a 2 min walk from my house

Sexual harassment claim against the head cook.

"She won't eat this (veal) but loves to eat this (grabs genitalia)" ... You see, you're a cute young lady that cries. He's not. That means he's gotta prove that he didn't say it.
The next time someone makes a vegan comment, ask them what they said about your breasts, really fuckin' loud.

Oh, and go to a temple and meditate. Because then they're hatin' on you for your RELIGIOUS diet!

LoL. Even better!

Next time a veal anything is wagged at you, run toward the dining area and scream something like "The fuck your sticking that in my vagina, just because I'm a vegan!" Get the tears FLOWING! You see, sexual harassment in the workplace is very serious, and any accusation of it brings lots of heat. Only heat in a kitchen full of women should be those fuckin' stoves! ;-)

Seriously, if it's all women, and they're really bullying you, and you're getting NO recourse with ownership, after years of loyalty to them... Beat the shit out of the one that's harassing you the most.

Just walk up behind her, and face plant her shitty skull against the dirty greasy grill she's working over. Or the fryer. Have a knife handy, and tell 'em that you've been taking lessons, watching butcher's shows tryin' to buck up. If anyone wants to talk about it, well, you wanna practice... Again, you're cute and cry, unless you have a record you aren't telling us about, this will disappear, as other "bully" stories keep making headlines. That's if they ever report it. Even to the managers/owners...

Or, quit. Because a person with anxiety issues, and who's unwilling to fight the same way they are (and, wagging that meat at you is no less scarring, depending on your level of belief in animal/human equality is no less different than the scarring you'd give her) should NOT be in that environment. Find another job. Just like that. Call the manager back, give her 2 weeks, explain it's the distance and workplace harassment, and that you intend to file unemployment for the workplace bullying forcing you to quit.

Religion IS still an option, and Canada has some pretty solid anti-bias laws. Being a vegan is a part of more than one religion, some older than Christianity or Judaism. (hint, starts with a "B" and you get to wear cool robes when you meditate.)

"Hello, Mrs <owner-name>, This is Sunni. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to work today, I tried contacting you all morning, and it wasn't important enough for you to get back to me. You've placed me in a very stressful situation. After the years of dedication I've given you, and the personal sacrifices I've made, including violating my religious beliefs, I think that I've come to a decision. A workplace relationship requires both parties commit to mutual betterment. Pay is only one aspect. Unreasonable demands are another, and one that you've been making too often. Another aspect is "protection." I've protected your honor and reputation, by putting my best foot forward, every day that I've worked. Through recent tragedy and illness, I made sure to put the betterment of the company first. I've fulfilled my promise to protect the company. You, as the company, have not, though. You've allowed repeated bullying, knowing that this is mentally stressful, and can lead to lasting mental health issues. Because of your failure to offer the same standard of protection that I have, I feel that the only recourse left is for me to give you a 2 week notice, and request a 2 week paid leave, to deal with the inordinate amount of anxiety and stress I'm feeling, after the unreasonable demands, and the blind eye to my being bullied for my religious diet."

great advice minnes. seriously


  • You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to minnesmoker again.








@sunni if it bothers you that much, and I can tell it does. That first paragraph is perfect retaliation. I know you are a peace lover and with severe anxiety the last thing you want to do is cause a scene, but this would work perfectly. You need to somehow get past the anxiousness and defend yourself. Not with words but actions. I wouldn't even speak to her directly about it as it will undoubtedly do little good and probably only make things worse. Just go off like minnes said, but be sure to mention sexual harrasment, otherwise you could be the one fired for causing the scene.

the key to all of this is to actually follow up and file a complaint after the scene. The fact that you stretched the truth a bit is really irrelevant and you cannot let that bother you.

and yes...tears would help. I'm sure this won't be hard to do cuz you'lll be all worked up anyway.

The fact that this wench didn't say these things will only enhance the fear you would put into her. She would then know you are willing to go to any lengths to get her off your back.

Yes, if you did this, they would look at you differently...but isn't that the point?

You will not reason with these people.

so you really have two options fight back....or quit.

If you enjoy the work then fuck quitting. Get the cunt fired

if the owner is such good friends with the fam. then it should be no problem to have sanctions put on the offending woman.

going back to stepmom because of this woman could easily be construed as cowardly and only encourage more heckling.

Although I could certainly see you wanting to work closer to home. Use this as your official reason for wanting to go back. You have no car, public transportation does not fit into your odd work schedule etc,etc.

ive been asking to go back there since they put me at the new place, it doesnt fit well with me its too far it was fine when it was summer for the ebike and all but for the winter with no way to get there but walking , it doesnt work its like 2 hours away by foot, my offical reason to wanting to go back is because of how far it is , and it owuld be convient to me to go back to the origonal place not because the chef is being a dink to me.

i just wanted to vent it out really its been pissing me off. and today i lost out on a shift because of her not being able to manage people properly and give me a respectable amount of time to get there

perhaps I am the suspicious type, but you think this was accidental?
i think it was more her fault on being negligent on the fact that she doesnt understand what ON call means

on call means by agreement if by a certain time she does not call me in I am expect than to have the day off. that is canadian law.

Our agreement was that if i did not hear from her or contact her about a shift by 2:30pm today than i would have the night off.
I had tried numerous times starting between 12 and 2:30 to get in touch with her, she never messaged me back until 4:45 telling me she needed at 5,

I called my stepmom and asked how this is acceptable and if i would get in trouble with the owner or whatever she said it was not acceptable and that they need to give AT least 1 hours notice and that if they wanted me there that bad they could pay for my cab to get there out of their own pockets since they didnt give me adequate time.
It is NOT by any means my fault as i tried various methods, calling the resturant she was out, texted, called her phone, facebook, even tried getting ahold of her husband on wow

Eventually i told her sorry you didnt give me enough time the earliest i can get there is by 6:30, and to which she responded never mind stay home,
I had my mom on my housephone telling me what to text, my mom said if you tell her you can get there by 6:30 from the bus she will most likely just respond right away with "nevermind stay home" she did. my mom has a funny way about reading people

anyways i ended the convo with I WILL contact you before 2:30 tomorrow. she said okay
so now she knows she cant just do that or not give me enough time.

I am in by no means any trouble cause i did everything per law i could, however ill just have to deal with a bitchy head chef tomorrow and probably have to take out all the grease buckets by myself lol

sucks about the grease buckets.. but it's better to show her that you won't/can't put up with her nonsense right now rather than doing what she says and letting her abuse her position. stay within company policy (which I can see you're doing), and you're golden. :)

Joe, to address what you said earlier. Your junk doesn't have to go all the way around your wrist, it has to go across the top and around the side a bit to pull off the wrist watch.

hmm, I dunno. How old is this woman? I'll assume she has worked @ this place for awhile. Becoming head chef does not generally happen over night. I'd guess she knows full well the rules.

I suppose she could have just gotten busy and forgot......however, I don't believe in coincidences. By the sounds of it this was yet another attempt to fuck with a pretty young vegan girl.

What does your step mom have to say about this person?

Damn girl, you're all worked up aintcha!? I would have just said "I tried to get a hold of you. You didn't answer. I went on with my life".

I'm on call if it's raining in the morning. The cutoff is noon. If it ain't done raining by noon, I'm taking the rest of the day off.

I say we find out where the head chef lives and throw a pillow case party, except we fill the pillow case with tofu and throw almond milk at her.
