the common misconception.

     I find that there is a extremely common misconception among people with limited perspective.      Myth: my job is the hardest thing in the world! i don't get paid enough!      Truth: No one cares, A. B, no it isn't. Get over yourself! Even at my job people say each job is harder then the other. I call bullshit on everyone.      1st shift. majority of sales is done, breakfast and lunch is what we do. From 7-10 you run around like a Meth addict dealing with idiots before their morning coffee. After 10 we get an hour to restock and take breaks before we bust ass again for lunch. After 1pm you get an hour to pull shit together then leave exhausted with the rest of your day.      2nd shift. The primary job of this shift is to recover from the morning.  I don't care what anyone bitches about. Morning shift leaves the store a mess because they have less then 2 hours of down time. We have between 2-6 hours of down time. More then enough time to clean! I've worked both

     GOD DAMN IT! Three little words that roll off the tongue with any little frustration, irritation, stubbed toe, broken glass, any little issue goes straight to god so he can damn it right to hell for us. Once upon a time in a land far, far away those three words did serious damage. Jesus killed a tree! I think the translation is a little off though.

Jesus ran up to the tree only to find it didn't have a single fig. "uhm... Jesus... you know it's not time for figs right?" said one of the twelve, hiding among the others. "I don't care, I wanted a fig! God damn you tree!"  Grumbled Jesus as he kicked the tree. The tree shook from its leaves to its roots as the curse set in. the twelve looked perplexed as the leaves started to droop be for they even pasted it.      The next day Jesus walke

Teavana: heaven of tea.

     Okay, so i work for a coffee shop. I love coffee, I drink it black, black w/ sugar, sugar and milk, I love good coffee. we have a coffee/espresso set up in our kitchen and I love it, I make all kinds of espresso creations, cappuccinos, macchiatos, just not americanos those are gross. so long story short I LOVE good coffee. I enjoy one thing more then coffee.      Tea. mainly Teavana, walking into their store I always take a deep, deep breath and sigh. Everything is pleasing to the eyes, nose, mouth, touch. four out of five senses being happily stimulated is pretty good for one small store. I love the tasting samples, they always have beautiful blends of teas, whites, greens, blacks, roobios, oolong, mates, herbals, all so good and extremely good for you! at the moment I have Maharaja Chai Oolong Tea  and Samurai Chai Mate . I use the Mate blended with my Chaga Chai for mornings because it has as much energy stuff as coffee, just in a slightly different configuration so I use it i
