Weeds to the door, so much deliberation

Filed under: — alisa @ 9:36 pm

I apologize for the string of depressing posts that have been appearing here as of late. Not that I apologize for anything I said, but more so that this is become a completely sad place lately. I don’t want any of you starting to read my blog wondering what may be bother me or making me sad. This is a happy place too! :)

Speaking of happy, in almost a week I am hoppin’ a plane to North Carolina to see Jason! I am OH so excited because its been WAY too long (11 weeks!) since we’ve seen each other. On top of getting to spending some face to face time with Jace, I found out today that Sandra is playing near by in NC the night land! A Sandra ONLY show. *Alisa does happy dance while listening to Best Laid Plans* AND I get to spend time with dear friends, Sarah, Kari and Susan while I’m in NC. Its gonna be a sad thing when I leave (wait there I go again… none of that!)

Heres something kinda ironic that I did. The new book I’m reading now is “Confessions of a Shopalohic” by Sophie Kinsella and its sitting on my night stand. Do you know what my book mark is? My VISA bill. (I guess you’d have to know the bases of the book to find that funny…)

I kinda feel like I’m “one of the crew” vs. “the new girl” at Starbucks officially today. If you have been in a Starbucks at all you know time to time we call drinks out to the bar person or something like “I need an add shot”, etc. Well, I was ringing someone up for a Venti coffee and I see one of the girls behind me (where the coffee is) and I ask “Are you getting my Venti coffee?” She says nothing so I tap her. She says “oh yes, I am, sorry, I guess an acknowledgement would be nice huh!” I take the customers money, she hands him the coffee. I turn to her and say “Well, more so I just needed the attention”. She laughed “Oh attention huh?” I said “Yeah, kinda like acknowledgement.” So for the rest of my shift, whenever my coworkers called out to another it sounded like this:

“I need an add shot”
“You need attention with that add shot?”

  1. Yeah, I’d say that good-natured ribbing from co-workers is a sign that you’re part of the crew.

    [You should see my workplace. We're really crazy.]

  2. Yeah,..what Geof said.

    Then again, me and a couploe of other guys that I work with go to no ends to insult and demean each other in the worst possible ways. It’s like having brothers all over again (though my one brother was too little to do that with).

    “Face to face time”?! I thought we agreed such things would not be discussed on your blog…
