Why can't Starbucks deliver?
Horoscopes For Today: 7/13/2006
Like a neon arrow flashing and sirens blaring, what you need to do today is terribly obvious. The fact is, if you've been waiting for push to come to shove, your wait is over. Push has definitely grown into shove by now. You'll be sure about your actions, but they might require you to step out of your personality comfort zone. It's true: Being more aggressive or domineering isn't easy. But it's something you simply must do if you want to get somewhere \(or get something started\) with someone.
Nuff' said there. I don't see myself pushing anything or anyone to do anything but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I got fucked over on my coffee again today. I'm starting to wonder why I bother. Cappucino sounds nothing like 'mocha' or 'hot chocolate' or whatever the fuck they gave me that I can't drink. In fact, she even said "here's your cappucino" and handed me this sugery thing that makes me kinda ill. I wish they delivered or something so I could call and say "I overslept and desperately need coffee. Please, please bring it to me now."
But they don't.
Of course, there is a Starbuck's here in the building at work but...it tastes like crap. At least it's cheaper. Maybe if I get desperate enough..
Since it's starting out so well I'm sure this is going to be a swell day.
[Edit: I just realized that this Starbuck's cup has a quote by one of my favorite memoir authors on it so maybe it's fate that I got the wrong cup.
The Way I See It # 141:
"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because, how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, "Hi". They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word." -- Augusten Burroughs author of Running with Scissors]

Can anyone say "delusions of coffee persecution"? All together now, a little louder, I can't hear you! :)
i don't like you very much.
Your holiness Valdez,
At 2:20 pm I finally gave in and went out in this heat to get a cup of your elixer of life. I am consuming it now and feel slightly better. I am going to save half of it, let it cool, then take it home and rub it all over my body as a show of my gratitude to you for making this wonder liquid so readily available to a person such as myself.
Then I suppose you'll have a mocha complexion. Whenever a body will need caffeine all the gotta do is have Steph handy. Alright.
Thanks for the imagery, now I have to get back on my pack mule...There's beans to be picked!
You're welcome.
Don't you have uh...people for picking the beans? You're such a hands-on gawd. I'm impressed.
Look, I like to pick my own beans. Besides if you seen effigies of me (on TV) then you know my holy pack-mule carries two large sacks on either side of it...Do you think I carry around loaves and fishes all day?
Well, duh I know you have a big sac.
er wait a sec...sorry.
No. It's true. A huge sac filled with peple, and cars, and houses...
