Dear Diary,
I have come to terms with the fact that I am never sleeping in ever again. I just don't know when this is supposed to happen with all this work i signed on for. So i will amuse myself with trying to obtain a honey bear for the baby cafe and making tidy graphs of coffee sales vs. cups of hot water given out. I didn't think giving out a free cup or two was a big deal, but seriously, probably 5 or six people each morning want me to give them a cup of hot water, and another 8 or so want to trot barefoot behind the counter and fill up their handmade ceramic mug themselves. (okay so only one was actually barefoot.) because their backpacks are filled with tea bags. clever kids, don't you think? really offsetting those steep college costs by bringing their own tea bags to school. and another thing. if you want some free hot water for your ducttape covered commuter cup or your chilean mate gourde say please for the love of god. don't you think people should say please? and maybe even thank you? I wouldn't be so annoyed, but about half of my interactions in the morning are with people who just take something (cups, sugar, milk, hot water) and don't buy anything. But now I know one thing. people aren't walking away with cups unless there is another shiny quarter in the cash drawer after they leave. and that's a threat!
Love,
Diana
