just random work venting

Yeah, I work at the hellmouth that is Starbucks. While I speak for myself, I honestly believe I speak for a solid majority of baristas, enough to bet money on it.

the 'i hate you' list, part 1 )
It is very simple to stay off this list. Most people are not on the list, and this list only applies to the most heinous or chronic offenders. (Of course, the people I wish the most could see this are the people who never will, or are in total denial.)  All you have to do is recognize that it is a very busy store, and have some empathy for the people in line behind you, as well as for the people behind the counter. Order the thing you want in a timely manner, pay for the very thing you ordered in a timely manner, throw a quarter in the tip box, grab your order and get on with your life.

"play down" = cover up; lie by omission

From the NY Times article yesterday:
"(Eli) Lilly’s own published data, which it told its sales representatives to play down in conversations with doctors, has shown that 30 percent of patients taking Zyprexa gain 22 pounds or more after a year on the drug, and some patients have reported gaining 100 pounds or more. But Lilly was concerned that Zyprexa’s sales would be hurt if the company was more forthright about the fact that the drug might cause unmanageable weight gain or diabetes, according to the documents, which cover the period 1995 to 2004."

Holy cupcakes Batman!

"I'll tell you what I'm blathering about! I got information--new shit has come to light and--shit, man! She kidnapped herself! ...Speaking of which, would it be possible for me to get my twenty grand in cash? I gotta check this with my accountant of course, but my concern is that, you know, it could bump me into a higher tax..."

G# minor - You are not totally happy, and you know
it. At least you are trying to do something
about it. You like to think and create to try
and sort out your problems. Keep going the way
you are, and you will soon be on speaking terms
with your demons.


what key signature are you?
