There is a meeting going on at the table next to me between the manager at Starbucks and a shift supervisor trainee. I can hear all the dirt. Its...interesting. I probably shouldn't be hearing all this. I should turn my volume up on Pandora. But...
For the most part it isn't bad. its just a few little stories. I really like this Starbucks. All the people are super nice. The store manager looks like Doris Day. All the employees seem to get along great. All making for a nice friendly atmosphere. My one complaint would be that the music they play can get annoying. Hence the headphones and Pandora radio.
But on the whole, I love this particular store. I see the regulars here. I rarely get my name misspelled or wrong on my cups anymore. I like it.
Once when I was here there were two Russians sitting behind me. I felt like I was in Ukraine (Ukrainian and Russian languages are very similar)
Another time I had a nice chat with the artist who sits by the door. Other times I've had chats with the Barista's. Its very comfortable here.
Plus, I just got an email informing me that I am a gold card member for another year. Thats always nice. Only 7 more stars till my next free drink.
Today is a wonderful change from last weeks unbearable heat. Its not even 70 degrees out right now. Its gorgeous running weather, unfortunately though I am unable to go run. My Wednesdays are 10 hour days generally. starting around 10:30-11:00 AM and not ending till 8:30-9:00 PM.
But tomorrow is another day of this cooler weather and I should be able to get out then.
Yesterday I went out for a run but less than 20 minutes into it I had to call home for a ride due to a thunderstorm that came in. So I had to finish up my workout on the elliptical and exercise bike. Extremely boring, but at least I did it, which is all that counts.
