Love and hate......

I love my job, I have a great work ethic (as long as I'm getting paid), and I enjoy all my regulars who come in (plus the people who I make regulars). Yet every once in a while I encounter something that I am not accustomed to, lately that has been accents.





I know how to imitate starbucks drinks that the customers ask for, I know six different ways to brew coffee, I know how to make a sale, and garnish one helluva drink. However when a customer comes in with a thick New York accent and asks for a medium "cwawfie" in a bag I am at a loss.

A mission?

Well this doesn't happen often, but I've decided to give myself a goal.

I'm not going to post any pictures because
-My camera is in my purse
-I haven't taken many pictures lately
-I'm too lazy to go and get the camera from my purse

Pictures really have nothing to do with the main point of this post though.




By the end of the year I will be able to say that i have seen every movie on this list. I am going to re-watch the ones that I previously viewed when I was too young to understand, so that way it's all fair.  If you want to do this with me let me know :)
