You want a tall skinny WHAT????

Well, where do I begin? I started working at Starbucks yesterday. Man am I NOT used to standing on my feet for 9 hours!! I got there, watched a movie about the Starbucks roasting process(quite interesting, surprisingly enough LOL)... and then I was thrown out in the wild to fend for myself. My manager left. I was there with a guy that reminds me of an ex boy-friend and two girls that obviously werent very intelligent. Ok I am NOT stupid by any means... but when some fuck head comes up and orders a tall skinny Macchiato with whipped cream and caramel at 195 degrees with no sleeve... sounds like something found on the corner of downtown Vegas... So here I am dumbfounded at what this 200 year old man has told me... I have a paper in front of me with register codes to a million different things, I find the Macchiato, I hesitate to ask my co-workers what the rest means. I give in, otherwise this old man will die of even older age right at my register. They talk to me like Im stupid. I was there for an hour and a half... how am I supposed to know all this crap? I may be from LA but Im a smart one... I dont buy the overly priced stuff! If someone else is buying then hey Im all for it... I get a Frappachino and thats it! Nice and simple... Now how the heck are you REALLY gonna know if the "barista" (ok coffee girl) heated your coffee up to 195 degrees or not? PA-LEASE I hung in there the rest of the day. There were times that there were 15 people in line and no one to help me. I would write the wrong codes on the cups for the "barista" to make and it was MY fault... well no one taught me the codes for that! So to piss them off I would write the WHOLE name out if I didnt know the code. I am ALL for awesome customer service but its the co-workers I hate...

As for the rest of my life, the kids are doing great and I think I am getting used to the single life. No I dont go out and party like I used to, but I do feel like I am starting over. I feel like God has given me the chace to make the needed changes in my life. I love that feeling. I love freedom and independence. Its AWESOME. I am no longer the pissed off bitch I was... I feel really good right now.

The feeling of being happy is overwhelming to me... I havent felt this way in so long. I hope it lasts....
