        Nope, because Walky would’ve felt compelled to “defend his sister’s honor” (Because Walky) and Jason would’ve had to thrash him in self-defense. These things haven’t happened, so we know Walky doesn’t know.

          Not sure about that, but he would have reacted in some fashion.

          Jason’s hinted at it, but it seems Walky hasn’t caught on.

    Jason must be really drunk if he’s using “bullshit” as an adjective and the word “adulting” in any context whatsoever.

    • Daibhid C
      Daibhid C
      May 3, 2018 at 1:28 pm | #

      A friend of mine came up with a strong defence of the word “adulting”, since it indicates that being an adult something you have to actively be doing, not just a natural state of people over the age of [some arbitrary age between 15 and 25 depending on culture and context]. And, therefore, that there are times when, due to tiredness, disability or whatever, we might find ourselves unable to adult. As someone who’s been waiting for an autism diagnosis for years and doesn’t feel they can say “sorry, it’s my autism” until I get one, I quite like the idea of being able to say there are situations where I just can’t adult.

      I’m not sure Jason would agree, but I think he’s only using the word because he’s paraphrasing Walky.

      Fun fact according to most word experts (yes that’s a thing) a word is a word the moment it is said, being in the dictionary means nothing to the validity of a word. As long as you have a meaning behind it it can be world.

      Of course, given the tipping situation, Jason’s likely to earn the hate and ire of his newest coworker.

          I’ll make you feel the exact opposite then. Here in Ohio, as I’ve been told by bartender friends, there isn’t a licensing requirement by law, even if many employers do still require the equivalent certification, and the class is about $10 for a online class which many employers are willing to cover the costs of, including allowing completion on the clock, because it helps cover their asses if the bartender messes up.

        My guess? Bartenders are frequently in a position to get a lot of compromising information about people, especially their most frequent customers. It’s easier to disallow all customer dating than it is to police the blackmail potential. Of course, the blackmail potential could take many other forms, including economic, or requiring a hookup with a non-customer that the customer is somehow associated with…

        Well, OK, frowned upon by me.

        The “not on the job” is what Jason failed with Sal as well.

        The “not by getting them drunk” puts you in a tricky situation as a bartender.

        Better wait until your day off, is all I’m saying.

          By on the job do you mean at a time when Sal had reason to believe still he had a say in her grades? If so yes. Otherwise, what he did wrong was essentially ignoring strong hints that she had ulterior motives the first time and not extrapolating she’s mad that I had sex with her the first time I shouldn’t do it a second time the second time.

            Well, it was also “on the job” in the sense that it was during a time he was supposedly working. At least the second time – the first time their tutoring session may have been outside his normal office hours.

            And the thing he did wrong was banging a student at all.

          Okay, that makes sense.

          I was thinking more in the same kinds of terms as teacher-student relationships: You wouldn’t need to ban a partner from your bar or get someone else to serve them or anything like that.

      Grad students are a thing. There are plenty of bars in Ann Arbor (home of the University of Michigan which I attend) too, and they also have a 21 year drinking age. Since ya know our country does. I have played several games at the university’s D&D club with what one might describe as an alcohol aficionado.

      If he’s still a student, he can stay on his student visa. I’m not aware of any colleges that expel people as students because they were faculty and banging students. They just fire them as faculty. There is, after all, no rule precluding students banging other students. (Though, of course, age restrictions can apply – there’s no law that shields students who bang other students from laws that would apply if they weren’t students. This parenthetical comment brought to you by the autistic Internet lawyer association, of which I am not a member, nor am I a member of any bar in any standing, nor do I have any official legal training of any sort. I’m not a lawyer, I’m not your lawyer, and all that jazz.)

        If he’s still a student, he can’t work at the bar on a student visa. We don’t care who he’s banging, we just care if he’s working off-campus; he’s probably on an F-1 visa and you can’t work off-campus while on an F-1(or even J-1) visa. Unless there’s outstanding economic/financial circumstances, then they’ll cut him some slack and authorize permission.

        Working off-campus is a quick road to losing student status, and it’s a long and expensive af process to get back into status. (this comment brought to you by my job, where I tell students every day that no, you can’t drive for Uber or Lyft)

      Since Jason’s ‘boozles’ (thank you, Berke Breathed) aren’t as large and pronounced as Walky’s, does that mean the alcohol he’s consumed is wearing off as he sobers up – or his natural tolerance is higher – and he’s no longer as affected by the booze as Walky is?

        I’d go with tolerance. Walky and Sal have zero tolerance, and thus are drunk by a sip of anything alcoholic. Jason on the other hand is the type of person to carry multiple flasks on his person.

          Though he’s apparently drunk much more – multiple flasks while Walky’s only had sips, so you’d think it would balance out.

          If Jason’s really drunk multiple flasks of tequila and is still this functional, he’s probably in Billie’s weight class as a drinker. 🙂
