Politics exam went well, I think. My prediction as to questions was pretty damn close, and out of the 9 questions offered I had 3 I could have written answers on (I only needed 2). And I got to talk about blogs! So that was good. Politics, at least, is done and dusted.

Results will come out next Friday. In the meantime, I have work, a random work ( Read more... )

I am using my barista skills to create the perfect vanilla soy chai without steamed milk or proper vanilla flavouring (I am stealing vanilla extract). I am vaguely grumpy, as I went hunting for vanilla flavouring specifically for drinks today - the supermarket apparently had no idea such stuff existed.

I passed multiple Gloria Jeans' when I was ( Read more... )

Today a customer turned up while I was restocking the milk fridge underneath the bar. As I came out from the back room with about eight 2L bottles of milk in my arms, I realised he was standing there and greeted him.

This man immediately places his drink order (a grande skim chai latte. Oh yes, I remember the rude ones). Before I even put down the ( Read more... )

Essay is still not writing itself. How inconsiderate.

Sort of think I have an idea of what to write, but I am still not 100% decisive. I hate this feeling.

Tomorrow is an 8 hour shift. On the Saturday of a long weekend with both footy and rugby matches on, not to mention the end-of-year clearance sales that have started up.

Oh, it's going to be fun ( Read more... )

I have five hours of classes left.

Tomorrow I technically don't have anything (because the morning lecture's moved to the evening, and the afternoon lectures have finished up for the semester), but I'm still going in because they're having some open forum thing on American politics. So, whoo, hopefully bonus material for the exam! (Or one last day ( Read more... )

One lady came in, near the end of my shift after the main rush of business people.

• Her order? "I just want a normal, plain coffee."
  
• Her idea of normal was a latte.
  
• Size? "Just the regular size."
  
• Our tall size.
  
• On the phone throughout the order, and still talking afterwards, ended up at the other side of the store facing away from the handoff plane ( Read more... )

I am thinking I should start posting here more often. There's so much to write about but I don't like writing posts that have many different points to talk about. Posts where I rant about public transport or display photos shouldn't be the same ones where I point out useful websites or interesting news items.

Anyway. For now I shall have to have a ( Read more... )

I should get an icon for "sick" or "grumpy". It feels like it's been ages since the last time I was sick (hayfever was about the closest to it, about two months ago), but I still hate it. So many herbal remedies that taste so awful you probably get cured because the illness just leaps out of your body to avoid it.

It's some sort of head cold. The ( Read more... )
