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

the day I arrived my mom, cousin kay, aunt judy, and i headed off for one of our favorite pastimes. thrift store shopping. there are quite a few of these in the denver area and we just love to see what treasures we will turn up. i think mom's wardrobe is comprised almost entirely of thrifted clothing. :) I found a few sleeveless tops to fluff out my summer wardrobe. but my super score was a set of 4 cappucino cups "cappucino please" and a teapot. can you guess what i spent on these 5 pieces? i doubt it. you're going to guess too high. i just know it! i spent a grand total of $3.10 can you believe it? the cups were $.80 apiece, the teapot a whopping $3.00. it was all on sale for half price! i also picked up a couple of neat children's birding books. and a copy of tasha tudor's garden . it's a beautiful book . i'm ready to head out for more pots to plant just everything i can on my patio! after hitting several thrift stores we decided to call it a n
