The 12 Labors
In the work the 12 Labors, the author has to work on Labor Day and is upset about not getting his 10 minute break and having to work on a so-called "holiday" where on this day in America workers are celebrated. The author humerously describes the 12 labors of eating at a buffet. The author goes on to describe a buffet as it ws where the consumer pays one price at a food serving establishment and the proceeds to gorge themselves on a variety of foods. The 12 labors include getting a table and then procedding to the buffet where you need to pile your plate high to get your moneys worth and keep going back to the buffet as many times as your stomach can handle. Then its dessert time. The author stresses on the need to eat your moneys worth of food especially on Labor Day where the price on an all you can eat buffet nearly doubles. The experience of eating at a buffet is described as a ride in which one costumarly gorges his self of too much food. The author says a human body was never intened to eat this way. I think the author is showing how he doesn't feel as Labor Day as a holiday since he had to work that day and that working on the holiday is contradictory to what the holiday stands for.
