my fellow baristas

why must i make a latte during the interview (and not be paid for it). might i be lying about working in coffee regularly the last 5 years? and you want to check if i can make il un maledetta rosetta?? i can! its seattle everyone can! but every espresso machine in every cafe is different and u gave me an 8oz mug and a 16oz pitcher, let the shot go dead like its fuckin starbucks, and backseat drive telling me the milk is finished! çe non! its goes whōōōōō when its done its not done its not on me that u didnt refrigerate the pitcher and left the milk out so it didnt steam from 10c! its too warm itll taste dusty and the shot it dead thats dusty x2 and i still did a rosetta😗

knowing “the regulars”

i open at work a lot, i’m a barista at a coffee shop inside a fancy ish food market which is basically just an upscale cafeteria for business people who are too hip for sweetgreen. we’re the only booth that opens before 11 am here! and there are only 4 of us baristas now, there used to be more but recent drama has resulted in some serious jumping ship. it really just means our opener options went from 4 to 2, so i come in at 6:50 am a lot more. i’ve been getting to know the morning crowd better and better, i feel quite close to 8 oz americano, he always wishes me a good day, 12 oz iced chai with whole milk and a blueberry muffin is always kind as well, and oat milk flat white (except for one time he was 16 oz cold brew, we both laughed at that) smiles when he sees me.  i like to be the smiley barista they get to have a minimal morning chat with, and plus i feel cool saying “just the usual?”

BIRTHDAY BY MYSELF!!!!!

I specifically made plans this year to be alone on my actual birthday. And it’s been so nice. The best in years, no tears! I got up early to walk around a wildflower garden, tried a new coffee shop. Read a lot. Thrifted. Sushi for dinner and a peach crepe for dessert. The only thing missing was that I never went and celebrated with my favorite paintings at the museum but I’ll have a belated party with them later. Happy birthday to me.

rewatching fleabag

I sometimes worry that I wouldn’t be such a feminist if I had bigger tits.

meditating at the toaster

My toaster is having a bad week so she doesn’t have the energy to hold the lever down anymore. Which means I have to stand there pressing it down for three minutes making sure my toast doesn’t burn. I used to take that time for granted, now it’s being robbed of me by my broken toaster. Trying to give her grace.
