• Item: Friendiest is student-teaching sixth and seventh grade home ec; they are doing a unit on childcare and she asked me to be a guest lecturer. I did one this morning and am going back for the afternoon. I do not know how she does it. It's creepy the way they all, like, actually listen to you! And raise their hands politely and stuff! Most disconcerting thing EVER!!
  
  They really liked the fingerpainting, though; and I adore how much fun it was to get them to admit they were into "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything."
  
  This afternoon, I will do better! I will not ramble so much and also, I will remember to tell them the number one thing I want them to know. *facepalm*



• Item: Somebody ran over a squirrel in the middle of my street. Its body is squashed flat but its tail is still standing straight up like a little pine tree. It is the saddest thing ever.



• Item: I think Starbucks is cheating me out of my flavoring. Aside from that, though, I love how competent the baristas here are; they listen to me! And know what they are doing! It's AWESOME!!!
  
  
• Item: I hate the HOME inventory. That is all.
  
  
• Item: all you out there complaining that your stories are too long, I have a big old raspberry for you. But it's an affectionate one! I'm excited for your stories, it's just that my stories have size envy.

When I slung coffee, I was the only person who worked there with a non-functional gaydar. Probably some barista magic or secret ninja training that I never received or something. BUT! If you befriend a barista, he/she/it/they can do you helpful favors like confirming your suspicions of whether or not that girl you come in with next time is into you.

This happened TWICE while I worked at Gloria Jean's. HILARIOUS!

That is seriously the awesomest thing I have ever heard.

The barista's secret weapon really is the power of observation.
