I love what I destroy and destroy the things I love.

Through some random events and twists of the so called lemon I have a new job. I am now a Barista at Barnes and Noble. I don't know how I feel about this. I have spent years, literally years railing against the "Starbucksing" of America. They don't want you to call the sizes big little and middle, they prefer things like Venti and Grande and Tall. Not only that, I work at Barnes and Noble which sells Starbucks Coffee, but there is also a drive through Starbucks and a normal Starbucks all within a 4 block radius of the store. But wait there's more.
One would think that because I am working in a bookstore, the clientele would be educated, this would be wrong. Last night at work I was feeling clever so I said to a patron, "I'm a male barista, does that make me a barrister?" The woman chuckled a little bit and then replied, "I think that's a little too much information." You know something lady, you're right, How dare I let the cat out of the swamp by telling the world that I'm a lawyer? I'm surprised that I didn't get sued for indecent conduct or something.
Anywho, I will continue to work this job because I need to work, I get a discount at the bookstore and sometimes it can be fun. I will keep you all posted on my adventures in the coffee trade for as long as it lasts.
