Grindage....

Grind......Grind...grind...grind.....
I worked today. Crappy day. It went wrong from the start. I was a in a good mood till I got there. Customers out the door..needing their fix. Hurry hurry. "Lemme have a double tall, decaf, sugar free vanilla, soy, lite whip, latte.......and be quick about it."

No prep, no time, very little patience. It is only coffee, right? Make the mocha, the frap, the whip, and wash the never-ending pile of dishes. Mop up the leaking toilet water. Hang the "Out of Order" sign.Wait on hold for 15 minutes.Terrible elevator music.

Not enough time and no more patience.

Do the deposit and give the breaks. Take out the trash and make the drinks. Only coffee, remember.

So little time for the personal contact. For the "how's the kids" and "whatcha up to today's". When did it become more than coffee?

Tomorrow, another day, hopefully better. Attitude adjustment needed.

Sigh.
