My biggest regret is that I never finished college or attended a trade school because I don't have the earning potential to give my husband a rest that he absolutely deserves.
When people wonder why people quit to have a kid? That was me. We did the math. My working would cost more than I brought in adding daycare.
I cried for MONTHS because I had earned a paycheck since I was 16.
This country is a mess.
It's a mess.

I wanna be a barista again.
Even though I managed the cafe at Borders.
I just want to be an excellent fucking barista.
I was so excellent at making coffee and remembering people that I would have your black coffee of your preference sitting on the counter as soon as you got to it.

Driving through Raleigh I hollered THAT'S TWO SHOTS OF ESPRESSO AND A SLICE OF LIME NO HOT WATER! and at a beer festival ran into a guy and said, "Hi! Caramel latte two pumps of caramel no froth!"
He laughed.
I shall henceforth be known as soy Chai latte, four pumps, no water, extra hot! 😉
You're already a side eye because chai already has milk and chai latte is just a chai.
😂

I didn't name it, Starbucks did...i'm just aceding to the naming convention that pre-existed my patronage.
It's tea with milk.
Whichever milk.
@Shelter That's so cool. I got to do my dream job for a while and it was nirvana. What would you need to do it?
Childcare.
I can't work shift work without it, and we can't afford it.
@Shelter No I totally get that. Here's hoping that changes for you.

I drink my coffee black like a good little sociopath so idk what that would take. Are there classes or something?
