I have been excessively tired this week, like naps after work tired, cover up with a blanket tired, turn the alarm off and go back to sleep tired. Is it the time of year? Is work exhausting me? Am I staying up too late and getting up at an ungodly hour? Am I cutting back on afternoon coffees? Ahh... that last one just might be it!
Who knew working in a coffee shop could be so absolutely crazy? I never knew so many people ordered espresso drinks (or that there is apparently a preferred time of day for them... Seriously! They come in in bunches!!!) Previous to working at Dunkin (which I know is far from exotic and shunned by coffee snobs), I didn't know the difference between a latte, a macchiato, and a cappuccino (and I seriously can't spell them without help...). Throw in an Americano and a Triple Espresso and the option to make them hot or iced (along with flavors and whipped cream) and it's a recipe for chaos and confusion. We were short two staff members today and somehow survived, partly thanks to another who came in to rescue us, and this is a tiny Dunkin on the corner of a gas station convenience store... (Mobile orders don't know the difference.)
Well, it's after 9 pm and time for me to think about going to sleep again...
PS. My allergist say the serum for my injections is ready. Here's hoping it makes a visible difference.
...and warm covers on your bed.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Warm covers make all the difference!
DeleteWell, while we are talking coffee. I will take a grande vanilla latte extra hot with a straw!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cup of coffee is what I make each morning for myself. Starbucks light ground coffee, Italian sweet cream and half/half and a little frath (spelling??)
I can make any coffee I choose while I'm at work, but I don't have a spare moment to savor it, and isn't that what coffee is all about? Yes, vanilla. Vanilla is my favorite, although lately I've been liking the butter pecan too.
