    i wish we had automated red-light cameras and speed/ noise detectors in my city

    i'm totes for cc fucking everywhere too

    as good as the boston/ cambridge/ watertown cops were in the bombing/ terrorist thing lately, it generally takes something of that magnitude to get them off their asses. we have a lot of perverse incentives that keeps them from really focusing on their actual jobs.

    Because our crime rates are low and general satisfaction levels are high, and because they get double-time for playing angry birds at a construction site but nothing for actually walking a beat or ticketing people who double-park on major streets with their hazards on for a half-hour, and because none of the cambridge cops actually live in cambridge, it's really hard to get them to engage.

    is this the "lets be angry about something really specific" time of chat again?

    because our building closing at 7 instead of 9 every day because the security guard wants to go home is fucking annoying

    we're on the horns of a dilemma

    either slavishly cheer on authoritarianism

    or

    burn everything down

    there are no other choices

    Afternoon [chat]!

    I am now off for the next 48 hours :D

    Mostly because I am tricksy.

    So my two cooks come in together about 15 minutes before 4. Meanwhile, I've been working alone all day, did lunch prep, lunch, dinner prep, and was lazily flipping a dozen red peppers on the grill when they walked in. The kitchen was immaculate, fully stocked and ready to rock for them.

    We say our hellos, then I point at both of them with my tongs and asked, "Hey, uh, you guys probably don't need me around for dinner tonight, right?"

    And here I am. :D

    Little do they know I was so "productive" today because I served maybe a dozen tables at lunch. >_>

    I had the exact opposite of this. I got so used to staying late and coming in on off-days at my last job that I came in and worked on a day that I thought I had to when I was actually supposed to be off. :P

    they are, admittedly, a little more proactive around mount auburn/ brattle street with the multimillion dollar homes than they are in my hood.

    people talk a lot about how boston is (or was) a racist city because of the busing riots back in the 70s, but i almost never see anything like that in cambridge. most of the crime and disturbance seems to be irish/ italian white townies, and there are loads of wealthy/ established minorities and foreigners. i'd be a little surprised if that cop was at all motivated by racism in shaking gates down.

    almost certainly what happened was the cop was being kind of a dick and, like, demanding id and being a tough guy, and gates, being hypersensitive to cop bullshit, escalated the whole thing until he was arrested.
