so im at work. seems i only post from work. no offense (to whom that is directed im not sure?) but i think work is the only time im bored enough to come on here. and for some reason i do a lot of thinking here (i think working in retail really is a study in social dynamics). especially today, since i came in about 40 minutes early. its disgusting out and i didnt want to walk and the only time i could get a ride was super early. and of course there was not a single seat in the starbucks.
speaking of starbucks. the place is overpriced and the food isnt that great but i cant help but love it for the sole reason that i am obsessed with the vanilla latte. grande skinny vanilla latte has been the only drink ive had there for the past 7 months or so. but i got to wondering today. im not even sure i know what a latte is exactly. is it espresso? is it regular coffee? it embarasses me that i dont know this. and then i wondered if maybe there was some great drink i was missing out on. i know that they have stuff thats not on their menu. the drink menu is tiny and doesnt have cafe misto on it, even tho i know they have that. i always get so stressed out every time i go in there. i do love my latte, but im also pretty sure that part of the reason i havent gotten anything else is because im too nervous to try ordering anything else for fear of fucking it up. it took me like a week to get up the courage to add "skinny" to my order. i just need to figure out what is what. what is in a latte/cappucino/misto/whatever? im scared to ask tho. the people in the bucks remind me of the fucking soup nazi. im sure theyre perfectly nice, and im also sure a few of them are morons themselves (guido mustache kid who probably does whippits for fun), but i have problems, as im sure has been made clear by this uneccessarily long rant about the fucking starbucks...... jesus.
karla dear, i know we havent talked in awhile, but i see you work at the bucks. could you possibly help me out here? my freaky social issues are stressig me out. what is what? what is good?
anyways. i hope i dont have to deal with shoplifters today. i am in no mood. i will kill a bitch. everyone yesterday was perfectly nice and friendly (with the exception of one completely humorless les) and i was very nice and polite and helpful and fake friendly and whanot. hope that continues.
i apologize for the worst lj post ever. really, im sorry.
