Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This has been the LONGEST day. I went to Katie's work at 11pm (thursday night) and left there at 8am (friday morning). A friend asked, "why did you do that?" Well, I felt bad. If I had to stay overnight at a clinic by myself and was not allowed to sleep I would want someone to stay with me too. That's why I did it, because I would love the same. By 5am I was completely delirious, as was Katie. I arrived at my house around 8:30am. I slept for four hours, then I had to get up and go to school. My classmates were probably scared of me. I looked rough and felt very out of it. When I got home I was able to take a short nap before going to work. WHOA. I mean...WHOA. One nugget filled night, I mean full of nuggets. Not to downplay Andy's art of baristahood...but tonight SUCKED. Over-run by the teens we were, and the team suffering because of the lack of senses. We closed at 11:30 and did not get out until 12:20. Usually, closing takes me at the most 30 minutes. Part of the reason was as we were about to WALK out the door, I was asked if I could set the safe so someone could get their tips. I burst into tears right then and there. Just kidding, but I sure wanted to. This person needed to get gas....
I'm drinking a glass of wine right now. It has never tasted so good.
More senses I have discovered one must attain in order to be a good Barista: (lol..Yea, I truly am a dork)
- One must have a sense of what cleanliness truly is.
- One must have a sense of wit. Come on, is what you said really funny?? Think about it.
- One must have a sense of recolection...in order to perform daily duties necessary to the store's primary function.
- One must have a sense of what is important. I'll go ahead and answer this one: The only thing that is important after we have locked the doors and are closing...is closing. We are closing. Nothing else IS important.
Just use your noodle people, use your noodle.
Tomorrow I am off. Thank God for that. The only downside is that I have tons of homework. I.E. I have to sit in the library for two hours and watch a PBS video on Economics. This assignment brought to me by Leonard Gaffga. Vomit I say...Vomit...I hate economics.
Hopefully, I can party tomorrow night. (what?)
I hope each and every one of you will find some sort of humor in my negative entry. Know that I am thankful for my job...I am just venting. I'm not a negative orb of energy...I swear.....!!!
Praise God for the fact that I get to go to sleep tonight!!!! Yay!!!!!!
I love you friend's!!!!
