Together again...

Starbucks and I made up this morning. She took me back gracefully and lovingly and cooked me up one of her oh-so-delicious cinnamon bagels (toasted, half butter, half plain lite cream cheese). I was strong, but the moment I left her warm embrace, I will admit, I shed a single tear into my grande soy latte Kenyan blend.

Majestic, indeed, m'lady.

First Year English...

I've noticed that the majority of interactions between coworkers sound more like the practice conversations from first year language courses. I remember thinking in my beginning Spanish class how worthless, stoic and unfeeling our translated interactions were and how noone would ever talk like that in real life. It seems however, now that I have graduated to life in a worthless, stoic and unfeeling office, I find myself having this conversation over and over again:

CoWorker: Hi.
Brett: Hi.
CoW: How are you doing?
Brett: I am fine, and you?
Cow: I am fine. Thank you.
Brett: It is cold today.
CoW: It is. I agree. I am wearing a sweater.
Brett: I am wearing a jacket.
CoW: There are 3 days until Friday.
Brett: Yes. Have a good day.
CoW: Thank you. You as well.


I will talk to you on another day. Thank you.
