Full Leaf tea bags
Anybody have any idea if we're going to be able to have the full leaf tea as our markouts. I know there are alot of us baristas that mostly drink and get tea as our markouts instead of coffeee, i would be soooo devestated if we cant :( |

Radiology...

Any UK Baristas here?
So I spent the past year in Japan, becoming obsessed with Starbucks. My two favourite drinks were the Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino and the Mango Passion Fruit Frappuccino. Imagine my heartache when I found out that the mango one wasn't offered in Canada when I returned home, and the strawberry and creme one was MUCH different to the ones offered in Japan. After searching the internet, I found that the Starbucks in the UK offer both drinks (and the picture of the Strawberries and Creme one looks exactly like the one in Japan!) so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I should be telling my barista here in Canada to recreate these drinks? The strawberry and creme looks more like this (kinda marbled) than this (just pink) Edit: Thanks for the answers about the Strawberry and Creme everyone! Just ordered one, tasted just like home! If any of you would be able to tell me what I should say to the barista for the mango passion fruit tea frappiccino as well, it would be greatly appreciated! Current Mood:  hopeful |

brr
It is COLD. Fucking COLD! So cold that all I want to do is crawl into bed when I get home from work. Well, after I eat, which I assure you, I'm doing too much. Both lounging and eating. I have a gym at my school. Have I been? Not yet. I figure it's safer than the regular gym, which is probably grossly overrun with people who won't be there three weeks from now. Work is all right. I am in the groove, I think. Only 8 more weeks in the quarter. I think 2010 will fly. Hopefully, it warms up soon. Or something changes in a big way. Either way, something different. |

Gym and Jon
"How are you feeling?" Jon, my personal trainer, asked on Tuesday. I know I've not done any exercise in three weeks - unless you count the weekend, three-hour dance-a-thons I've been having - so my answer is easy: "Petrified." "How have you been eating?" "Badly," I say and he looks disappointed. "It's Christmas!" I say in explanation. "And have you done any exercise?" He emphasises "any", making it clear that this isn't a question but an accusation. Time to shift gears. "Jon," I say frankly. "I've just been through a breakup so the only thing I've done since the last time I saw you is get drunk. You'll be pleased to know that I didn't drink yesterday though. I knew I'd have to see you." I never talk to him about my personal life and he knows it. Via the accent, he may have gleaned that I'm from New Zealand but, up until this point, I've thought that the only thing he needed to know was how to make my arms look enormous. I'm not sure he's comfortable with the insight but then he says: "We'll take it easy on you today." This is the guy that keeps going when the rowing machine is about to make me vomit. This is the guy that laughs when I say I'm dizzy. This is the guy that has me running twice as fast and lifting twice as much if I mention that I looked at a cupcake. "We'll take it easy on you today." Despite that relatively easy session yesterday, I still woke up in physical pain this morning. My 'hams' seem to be punishing me so in preparation for today's session I'm busy thinking up another personal crisis to play on feelings I never knew he had. I have an hour. ======================= Polly text last night to tell me she'd broken the TV. I reacted as if she'd text: "I've raped and murdered your best friend." (Who is Hugo, which would be weird, but I digress.) Despite Laura providing a (much) smaller replacement monitor (from her computer), we're all still feeling a little lost by the loss of the TV. The TV is our friend. On the upside, I've bought all seven seasons of the West Wing so this will give me an opportunity to see even more episodes on my laptop. After going to sleep last night at 3am and 4am the night before, I'm already nearly at season three. It's a great show but work mornings are beastly. ======================= Do you think Jon would buy "I'm upset. My TV died."? No. I didn't think so. Current Music: Wicked's "For Good" |

Traveling with partner numbers
I'm certain this has been mentioned before, but I can't remember the answer. Can US partners use their discount in Canada? We're going to the Carnival in Quebec next month, and I know of a cute little SBUX in the city, which would be even better if I were paying 30% less. :) Thanks! |

Permission to be Selfish
I came to the realization yesterday that ignorance is indeed bliss. Are you tired of all the damn bad news that you read and hear about every day? Because of the Internet and other media which give us more access than ever to depressing news, we're virtually inundated by things and events which bring us down. It's good to keep up with what's going on in the world, yes--but there's a limit, isn't there? I mean, you wouldn't want the kind of people you read about in the news to interact with you in real life on a daily basis, would you? Of course not--you'd normally keep such people at arm's length. If you had a neighbor that's a card-carrying member of some wacko tea party organization, you'd give him a wide berth. If there were people in your office who simply wouldn't shut up about politics, you'd avoid that hallway like the plague. Yet we allow the news to pummel us with these people and these events every day. Every day.Yesterday, I was driving along, and for no reason I can think of I began to wonder how it would feel to see everything I was looking at--other cars, people walking around, the city itself--as if we were all unencumbered by all of the things in the world that weigh us down. As if no news about those things could reach me. And so, almost on a whim, I just cleared my head. I pretended that there were no wars. No crazed religious fanatics bent on killing. The Bush administration never happened. No political agendas. No one trying to amend state or federal constitutions to ram Jesus down our throats. No extraordinary security measures, or Patriot Acts, or secret surveillance. The economy rolled along without corruption or greed. In short: everyone lived and let live. My only concern seemed to be waking up in the morning, getting through the workday, and going to bed at night, living from day to day. And I drove for a few minutes, pretending that everyone and everything I was seeing lived in that same normal, serene world as I did. And incredibly, I felt my spirits begin to lift--my edge begin to soften. I was just driving through town with someone's average, normal concerns. I heard the music on the radio--saw the color of the sky--I was absolutely calm and unconcerned, on a typical day like any other. The city felt like home again. And I realized that it had been a good ten years since I'd felt so at ease. So I started trying to figure out why I wasn't able to see the world the way I used to. It didn't take much detective work. I know that when the Bush years began, I took more of an interest in things like politics, and national and world affairs. And I hardened as everyone did to what was happening to the country. We had taken a dramatic turn for the worse, and it was important to speak out. I became a voracious consumer of news, from just about any medium that could provide it to me--and every story, every perspective, every new revelation, stripped me of more of my idealism, and my optimism. And in this world, to lose those things is like losing an essential part of yourself that allows you to get up in the morning and deal with all of the shit happening around you. To survive it. Yesterday's mid-afternoon epiphany made me resolve to turn off the damn news cycle, at least for awhile. To focus on the decent things about all of us--the city where I live--the person I suppressed all those years ago. In short, I'm taking some selfish time, and letting the awful things happening in the country and the world fend for themselves for awhile. Instead of being constantly reminded of humanity's failings, I'm going to keep my ear cocked for the latest breakthrough in science, or what's happening in the literary world. I'm going to play with my cats a little more--curl up with my quilt in front of a good DVD--do some fun swimming after doing my laps. Once, I would have been disappointed in myself for withdrawing from the world in such a way--of being so uninvolved and unconcerned. I look at it as more of a respite--a time-out. And in a declaration of complete selfishness to begin my selfish sabbatical: I think I'm due. Current Mood:  calm |

10010602 ~ up in the air
i cannot say enough good things about this film. i watched it twice tonight and i was blown away by clooney, vera farmiga, and anna kendrick. there's no doubt all three will be nominated for oscars, but ~ as of this writing ~ clooney's race is too close to call, and i'm fiarly certain they've already inscribed mo'nique's name on the best supporting actress statuette.
see this movie! Current Mood: wowedCurrent Music: sounds of a quite house |

Tracking my crap....
So, during the Christmas Day sale, I got a "Bag of Crap" from Woot!. (For those who don't know -- Woot! will occasionally just throw random stuff into a box and call it a "Bag of Crap".) Last time I got one, it was a ginormous stereo speaker (which I still need to unload somehow). For this one... it's on its way to Kansas City. The tracking information says: Shipment Facts
Service type
FedEx SmartPost
Weight
10.4 lbs/4.7 kgWhat the hell are they shipping me that's 10.4 lbs?! The mind wonders... |

workout #3
So, I finished my third workout on the new elliptical. Not nearly as bad as the first two. It's not my getting winded, it's the trauma to my ankle/shins and back. That was much better this time. Maybe because it did it in the evening when my body is the most limber. Relatively speaking. I also did another bowflex workout. I guess that'll be my routine, three times a week, until I can tolerate more. I think the secret to this exercise stuff is having the TV in the room. |

mocha with syrup standards
Hey fellow and oh so knowledgeable baristas. Tonight at the promo meeting we were discussing a few store issues, and I tried to bring up the topic that was discussed here awhile back about only charging for one syrup, for example, if someone orders a grande raspberry mocha, in theory they should only be charged for a grande mocha. I was shot down pretty quickly. Do I have it right or wrong? And if I'm right, can anyone point me to where I can find it in the beverage resource manual? I didn't have any luck locating it tonight. |
