We are not going to talk about the fact I was scheduled to close last night (10:45pm) and then open today (4am) and my manger pretty much did nothing about it. I con my way to switching so I left at 9:30pm. Still having to get up at 3:15am I was very very sleepy. I knew I need a little boost to get some life into me, though I am not dependent on caffeine (I go plenty of days without it just fine), I had a tall with an add shot (total of 3) toffee nut americano (espresso and water) with a splash of half and half. It was one of the best I’ve had in a while, so I made another. Yeah 6 shots wasn’t the best idea especially since I hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. So I was a bit shaky until lunch which I ate some rice and chicken and my body started to act normal (as normal as my body can be on 5 or so hours of sleep). On top of that, an espresso machine broke, leaving me sharing the bar with a tech guy who was right in the way of my milks and calling position. This is where I announce that September 9th there is a new Starbucks opening up and I have been asked to move there, with a promotion. First being told this, I was very sad to leave my cute beach store and people I enjoy working with. But as the days go on, the sadness is turning into excitement for a change in scenery.

Other highlights include two evenings last week. Wednesday I ditched youth group and I drove down to San Diego to see my beloved band, Caedmon’s Call. I met up with a .netter and a friend of his to enjoy the show with. It was nice to be around a southern gentleman again, I miss what that’s like (not to say Jason isn’t a gentleman he just isn’t southern). Still makes me smile but at the same time feel like a bit of a freak that the band knows my name or face. Needless to say, it was good to catch up with them a little. Then on Friday my coworker Meghan, her boyfriend Timmy and I went to see the play The Music Man. An ex worker of Meghan and It’s who still comes into Starbucks everyday on the way to his office job was in it and invited us. I’m learning I am more of a play go-er than I ever expected. I very much enjoyed the play and Guys and Dolls has always been a favorite movie after seeing it on the local college. It did my little heart good to hang out with some friends a couple nights in very different settings. I missed it more than I realized in its absence. Though now I have the itching to wanting to do something on most free evenings now.

Not that I think I’m like Lorelei (besides talking fast and drinking lots of coffee) but I do think there are a lot of Luke moments that remind me of Jason. So yes, Jason is my Luke. With that, I present Gilmore Girl quote of the day (don’t expect these daily):
Lorelei:”I think its going very well, you and me. Do you think its going well?”
Luke: “I have very few complaints.”
