its times like this i wish i like coffee.

so i have been working for an hour and fourty minutes already this morning. started at 7. if there were time that i wish i liked coffee this would be it. working at 7, being tired, being in a coffee shop, surrounded by caffeine.... i just find it all disgusting. ok maybe disgusting is to strong but i don't like it. good thing we have mt dew here too...

my boss had surgery this week so she is gone so i am working a bunch more. plus we have a new girl who just started this week so i am training her in. if you would have told me a few months ago that i was going to be teaching someone how to make coffee things i probably wouldn't believe you. well i might but only because you wouldn't lie to me.

so i found a really funny thing this week. its called Garfield Minus Garfield
its super funny. someone takes garfield comics and takes garfield out of them. it just makes jon look like a crazy person. hilarious

the coffee shop has been super slow this week. the whole time i have been
writing this only one person has come in. they wanted a hot chocolate. i made
it for them. after they left i was cleaning the little pitcher thing we use to
steam stuff.... a huge chuck of chocolate fell out. never had that happen
before.... it was like half the chocolate powder i put in there. hopefully they
don't need their hot chocolate very chocolaty to enjoy it.

Kohl's is a magic store. whatever you need is always at least fifty percent
off. if you go to kohl's looking for a a dress shirt, dress shirts will be
fifty percent off. or more. if you go looking for pants, fifty percent off
pants. once i went with a friend who didn't believe kohls was magic and that
black ties and white dress shirts (what we were going for that day) would both
be fifty percent off. i assured him they would. he still didn't believe. sure
enough everything in the whole store was 50 percent off that day. last week i
needed to get a suit for my roommate's wedding tomorrow. went with another
roommate told him about the 50 percent magic. he was skeptical but didn't
completely disbelieve. i got my suit for fifty percent of (plus i think another
10 or 15 percent for some sale last weekend) and he, not even going looking for
these things, found slippers and a dress shirt he liked and sure enough both
were over fifty percent off. kohl's is a magic store.

well thats enough for today. i wish some people came in here for some coffee...
its super slow.

on this day (leap day) in 1504 christopher columbus
used a predicted lunar eclipse to scare natives on jamaica (where he was stranded or
something) to giving him food.

over time

well we'll see how long this entry gets, i am supposed to be done working at 4:30. its 4:35 right now. i am going to write this entry until its time to leave (aka whenever the owners get here) or until i am done. which ever happens first.

today was a busy day at the grind. 5 minutes ago was the first time since i got here at 9 in the morning that there is no one here but me. oddly the slowest time was 11:30-1 when sophie was here to help. there are always two people for the lunch shift.

other than that it was a good flow this morning and busy all afternoon. i almost ran out of mugs for a little bit. don't worry though i am really good and fast at washing dishes.

i am playing a lot of online scrabble now... i think 10 games right now finished 3 already. won all three. statistically my best word was jerries but i think my best word was codeine.

miss no whipped cream was just here. can you guess why i call her that. its because she alwyas gets a white chocolate mocha. every time she is in here, with no whipped cream. when she walks up to the counter i ask "white chocolate mocha?" and she says "no whipped cream" i think it should be implied that if i remember she is getting a white chocolate mocha that i remember its no whipped cream... come on no whipped cream lady.

so who knows good things i can make with lots of bread. i get free bread from work whenever the new bread comes in. the old stuff is still good. anything other than toast and sandwiches for me to make with it?

the last three times the owners were supposed to come and relieve me at 4:30 they came in at 4:45, 5:00. and 5:15. i wonder if they are going to wait until 5:30 today. just to keep the pattern going.

well i think thats all i've got for today. so i am going to end with the question i have been asking myself a lot lately...

are the noodles really done, or am i just sick of standing here making sure they don't boil over?
