holy hell in a hand basket
I realize that I am twenty-two years old and STILL utilizing livejournal.
but, obviously, I give no shit. Well, not necessarily all the time but yeah, fuck it, anyway...
I've found out a few things that I wanted to write about because it's slightly bothersome to me.
Firstly, we all know that I have a severe addiction to coffee and I am not hiding that fact in the slightest.
In my daily coffee run, and because Starbucks happens to be where I was purchasing my new glasses (which are fucking SWEET!), I order my regular and since my obsession knows no bounds, my ex-coworker behind the counter tells me some upsetting news!
That he may not be working there in the upcoming months.
My jaw dropped and I had that stupid concerned look on my face, which is sometimes confused with pain... :/
And, I asked him why in that high-pitched whine I tend to employ.
He proceeded to tell me that Starbucks has a new policy that they have no more need of CoffeeMasters and they are going to be letting them go. which, most of the Coffee Masters are in the know about what makes coffee great, what food to pair it with, and are knowledgeable of where and what region it originates from, etc.
I should mention that I used to work for Starbucks, our terribly inept boss in the Ottawa store, which doesn't exist anymore, fired me because I wasn't up for the job. But, she never gave me the adequate training I deserved and when I asked for help she turned me down. I was pissed. Anyway, I do frequent the Starbucks in Peru and worked at that location for a good month or so. Especially in the morning when it was fucking crazy. Therefore, I got to know the morning crew which are Coffee Masters and therefore, amazing. Plus, they lead interesting lives, are involved in their community and know their returning customers.
The man in question however, is incredibly nice. Has given me free drinks and is concerned about my schoolwork and has offered me numerous times before to help me with my mathmatics assignments. Which is UNBELIEVABLY sweet! So, when we said this I was sort of crushed! And, he isn't OLD but he's probably in his early to late fifties. Plus, I was concerned that it was a discriminatory act since many of their newer employees are younger, jubilant-looking, attractive, more capable of work. Plus, younger sells and is "modern." but seriously, older people working at a starbucks? come on, how "modern" is that of them? REALLY?! They should be praised. Maybe it's just my personal opinion and morals but I look up to older people! Isn' t that right? Hmm.
BUT previous news, the previous boss lady, the first boss of mine from Starbucks, was electively demoted to just a shift manager. Someone told me "because she wants to spend more time with her family and be more involved." Which is sweet and makes me think ten times higher of her, obviously because she is decreasing her time @ work and her career to stay involved with her family. I adore this woman and always have.
BUT, this is secret...my friend told me that in a few months they are going to be opening their own coffee shop!! They have a building leased out already!
Which, tells me a few things. Obviously they are fucking FED UP with Starbuck's fucking rules. I have always loved starbucks personally. They do a great amount of things but I also was frantically pissed when they closed our store and did not take into consideration the Ottawa store is in a small area and most of our income was from regulars and traffic from Interstate 80. BUT we made alot of money, in Ottawa standards. But not according to Starbucks Incorporated. Which, is utter bullshit and unfair.
in retrospect, I knew something was wrong with this institution but I ignored it because I love it so much. Why is everyone so corrupt?! I am highly upset, I would like to look farther into this situation...
Well, now I don't remember my second and third point.
but I apologize for such an absence! I am still without wireless internet at my house and have to rely on wifi from starbucks, dunkin' donuts, jeremiah joe and the college. All of which I cannot read my yaoi and I am SEVERELY behind in Starfighter, Goodbye Chains (sliiightly gay but not) and a multitude of drawing. I am so sad! Hopefully I will gain the internet back soon! I also think that not being able to blog/journal is affecting my venting outlet. I am starting to throw things and be unneccessarily angrier...which scares me.
LMFAO and a thought just occurred to me. If people actually cared what I said/read this shit they'd probably say things like "you're a fucking idiot. get help!" and id just laugh maniacally and then set their computers on fire with my mind.
