-ExcellentFormula for how the rest of your day will go:
Take the percentage of your reference questions so far that have to do with tattoos, multiplied by two if they want you to find them a pattern, quadrupled if the tattoo artist is waiting in their car.
Multiply by the number of times a patron has touched your shoulder, thigh, or otherwise infringed on your personal space.
Add the number of times a teenage boy has winked at you and/or hummed stripper music when you ask them to lower their voices.
Multiply by the number of times you have received a request for a movie that won’t be released on DVD for another four months.
Divide by the square root of your hourly wage.
The result: an exercise in futility. Every day is about the same, anyway.
