This week my stress level will go to 11 on a 10-point scale as the days counting down to Orientation are dwindling in number. The PROs moved in yesterday, which makes today the first day of their training. I won't be working at Starbucks for a week or two thanks to Orientation and the fact that school starts next week. Next freakin week. ( Read more... )

I've been awake for 17 hrs (and counting). Just got back from another opening shift at the Starbucks (not a very good time). The highlight of my morning was burning my hand and staining my khakis while attempting to fill a coffee traveler for a customer...leaving me petrified to ever try filling one again. Oh yeah, I also got certified as a ( Read more... )

I really hate how my insides hate me. And how the fuckers outside won't shut the fuck up. Honestly, who's outside screaming at 3:30 in the fucking morning?!?! The only reason I'm awake is cuz I didn't get back to campus until around 1:30 since I closed at Starbucks tonight and I made myself a caramel macchiato (freakishly awesome) that had 2 ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder...

After working for 5 days straight, ending with a doubleshift on the 4th, I was finally able to sleep more than 2 or 3 hrs. I'm off again tomorrow which is fab but I'm going into the office at 11am for Orientation stuff. This Friday is payday at the Starbucks :D ( Read more... )

Well...I wasn't supposed to be back for about another hour from Starbucks (Providence Rd). And then a tree fell on the power lines forcing us to close to the best of our abilities.

This kid's going to GREECE next summer :D I don't know who else is on the same trip but at least now I know for sure that next May I'll be on a plane headed for Athens for 3 glorious weeks.

As a kid I dreamed of going to the Air Force Academy and becoming a fighter pilot. Clearly I am not at the Air Force Academy. I had my shot and thanks to a discrepancy with my medical files made me ineligible. To think, if I had gone there I would've majored in military strategy. Through the Air Force Academy I could've become a pilot despite ( Read more... )

I suppose watching an assortment of wedding-related shows is a really bad idea, especially when you're hopelessly single. Not only does it make me even more cynical about relationships but I've come to the conclusion that I really do want to get married. I want to spend 6 months (or more) planning for one day, go over miniscule details in the ( Read more... )

3 days of working at Starbucks...wow. And only 6 more shifts to work until I'm done training ( Read more... )
