Italy take one

well its the first step towards going on my trip with mom this summer (italy with her) (then switzerland and germany by myself). i picked up the application at the post office, tracked down my old passport from the back of the closet, went to kinkos, got the silly photos taken and its ready to go once i write the check and pop it in the mail. and yes if you're wondering, thats rogue i'm wearing!

cathi was nice enough to take a photo for me at the knit together at her house last friday night, i finished it there (and got a few dirty looks in the process) well maybe they weren't but there was definately some fo envy in the air :)

Hey Lesley -- it was great seeing you and SO great seeing the FO of Rogue! You have to post a photo, with hood up, here! :) Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you more ... the next time around, I need to sit in your neighborhood of the room to chat. Tell Shirley the same from me! Nice job again on Rogue.

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
