all i wanted was a coffee

i got up this morning and i wanted a coffee. completely forgetting the fact that dominique and i recently got coffee filters and i could have made it at home, i went to mcdonalds. i haven't had mcdonalds in a while so i got a breakfast sandwich too. i should've just made coffee at home. damnit.

when you're little and in school, you're taught (or at least i was) that everyone is as good as everyone else. in today's world where teachers don't make their "X's" in big red ink, where children aren't scolded, and where every kid who doesn't get straight A's has some sort of learning or social disorder, i would think they still teach that shit, but i don't know for sure. well it just isn't true.

i'm sorry, but if you can't get my coffee order correct then i am definitely better than you. because it has nothing to do with being smart. i'm sorry, but a retard could dish out a large black coffee (my order...not even cream or sugar) upon request. fucking up something as simple as "large black coffee" is a matter of not listening, not caring, some combination thereof, or something else that's completely retarded. there's really no excuse for that.

i've always thought that food service employees should be paid a pretty good wage, but that the hiring process should be more selective. this way smart people would be hired, and orders would be delivered efficiently and correctly. the only problem with this idea is that smart people would be easily bored performing routine food service jobs. so, it looks like we're stuck with dumbasses who make a coffee order more complex than it really is on account of mere stupidity. next time i really need to remember that we now have coffee and filters here. and also, why did i go to mcdonalds when dunkin donuts coffee is so far superior? i'm not a morning person.

As someone who's previously held jobs in food service, I completely agree with this post.

Don't you have a nice little local coffee shop with some character? Earlier I ran into our city's chief political columnist at ours, see you can meet people too.

Totally unrelated to your coffee quest.

A while back you gave me terrific advice about avoiding the pointlessness that is Family Law class. Skimming the first assignment, I have to say I think you're absolutely right. Yeah, I am taking the class anyway because it fits my schedule better than the Employment Law class did. Just wanted you to know, though, that I am going in with a healthy dose of Dicta/reality-inspired cynicism.

Dicta, making a difference in the blogospere since 2005.

haha that's great. and here's the best part: despite the fact that family law was a bunch of pointless drivel, i actually just applied for a job at a family court. i must be getting desperate.
