In that sort of instance, was I supposed to tip?

My massage therapist works out of a physiotherapy clinic and I do not tip her. I wouldn't tip the physiotherapist if I was getting treatment from him/her. Similarly, I didn't tip neither the massage therapist nor the chiropractor I saw in the same practice. (All of whom were covered by my medical insurance.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In fact, no, it seems prostitutes usually get screwed twice.

Not receiving tips doesn't screw anyone unless their remuneration structure assumes tipping, surely. ...Actually, I'm thinking it would be worse for prostitutes if they were reliant on tips, since there would surely be clients who use that extra price pressure to push for things said prostitute is unwilling to do (unsafe sex comes to mind).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This reminds me of a zombie joke!

What did the zombie say to the prostitute?
Keep the tip!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In other news (unrelated to zombies and prostitutes) I am very sad to report that Emmett is now 5'9". He's still 14 and he's one inch shorter than me.

I remember that being an issue for dominatrixes (who I believe usually get the 15-20% most other groups get).

Yowza, Emmett! CJ is 5'6" which blows my mind.

I have put in 12 hours today. On something that hadn't been on my radar yesterday. Oy. My brain is MUSH.

I'm in denial about how much I have to do in the next 4 days. Sure, some of it fun (Irish bar for Cinco! Because we did Mexican on St. Pat's!) but also, there is no working late tomorrow night, there is cleaning that has to happen this weekend, errands, a communion party, my swimming, no working late Friday, and no time to work this weekend. And a drop dead on Tuesday, and likely no possibility of working Monday. UHRG.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Headache abating slowly, got my first unemployment deposit (hallelu!) and am rewatching last week's Justified and will shortly watch tonight's finale. Three good things.

eta and I'm going to volunteer to feed baby goats! I'll get paid in goat cheese, cheesecake, and/or bread. Whee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd feed baby goats if I could get paid in baby goats.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd feed gold bars if I got paid in gold bars.
