mmmm
Two good things have happened to me today and it’s only 9:30 am. Maybe this is a sign of things to come? Maybe life is giving me a break!
Right.
Good thing #1: I had to forgo coffee this morning in order to make it to work on time. It was not an easy decision but it was already 7:55 when I dropped off Aislin and I have to be at work by 8. I get to work and my boss and I prepare to make actual drip coffee. (I don’t drink this too often.) We find out that not only is there only decaf, there isn’t even enough decaf to make any coffee. She seriously wanted to put just whole coffee beans in with the very little amount of ground coffee that we had and I had to spend 10 minutes explaining to her that it was not only bad, but a stupid idea. We cried a little. She went to a meeting coffee free and I snuck down to the Grapevine Café. For the record, I hate the Grapevine Café. They have a “Starbucks” inside, but it’s really just a corporate cafeteria with a Starbucks kiosk. Usually, the coffee is terrible. But today…she made me a PERFECT cappuccino. Seriously, perfect. I’m savoring it right this minute.
Good thing #2: While I was waiting for her to make my coffee I stared idly at the grill. My tummy was growling. I was hungry. Their food is expensive and I almost never eat there. Temptation overtook me and I had her make me an egg and cheese croissant. I take it to the cash register and there is a new person (maybe not new; I haven’t been there in awhile…) working there. She looks at my pathetic croissant and tells me “that is expensive you know”. BUT! Because it was a sad little vegetarian croissant she only charged me for the egg, the cheese, and ‘bread’. I paid $1.70 for a $3.75 croissant.
I may actually start patronizing the Grapevine again. I won’t actually eat my food there with all the Allied corporate drone people because they make me sad, but I may start buying food there again.
Right.
