Ready-ish?

Posted on August 4, 2020 by A Dreamer

All day yesterday, the county was putting out message after message about being prepared for Isaias. And that’s when I realized the pandemic has really taken it out of me – any other year, I would have been all over … Continue reading →

COFFEE ACQUIRED!!

Posted on August 3, 2020 by A Dreamer

I felt so bad for the morning shift crew – to walk into a stack of online orders must have been a hell of a way to get the day going. I do need to handwash the cold brew pitcher … Continue reading →

Not the best omen

Posted on August 3, 2020 by A Dreamer

But it does track with being a Monday. Got up, put in Starbucks mobile order*, go to the shop and… It’s dark, locked, and not opening until 8AM. This change happened sometime since Friday and I didn’t even notice the … Continue reading →

I shouldn’t have looked

Posted on July 28, 2020 by A Dreamer

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.

Posted on July 27, 2020 by A Dreamer

So, our parent company declared a dividend for Q2. (They’re public, it was publicly announced, this is not inside/confidential information.) Same amount as the last two quarters to boot. The financials for Q2 will be released tomorrow morning. I’ll be … Continue reading →

Just frustrated these days.

Posted on July 25, 2020 by A Dreamer

Wow, Friday already!

Posted on July 24, 2020 by A Dreamer

This week went by almost as fast as vacation did, which was really fucking fast. Today’s big tasks besides work are phone calls, yaaaay. Gotta call the rental company and see if the advance reservation for next year really went … Continue reading →
