"Oh my gosh, you're leaving?!? Who is going to make my coffee? :("
Uhm...how can I put this delicately...I DON'T CARE. I'M FREE. Today marks the end of my three year run with Starbucks. I'm leaving a job at a Fortune 500 company that gives me benefits, stock options, vacation time and a steady salary to go into debt and write jokes. Maybe my parents gave me too high a self image. Eh. I digress. To all the cranky middle aged women, creepy old men, ridiculously entitled people with orders that make no sense and the people who come in and ask for the $5 foot long: GOOD RIDDANCE. To all the sweet, thoughtful, patient customers who listened, brought breakfast burritos, wine, presents and were just good friends, I thank you. You have made my three years of 3:45AM wake up calls worth it. This is the ending of an era for me and the beginning of a crazy adventure. Potentially being paid to WRITE? This is where life gets real; when you can stay up til 3:45AM writing and talking with friends and not smell like sugar free cinnamon dolce and espresso...all. the. time. This is life in color.
