Are they correcting you or confirming? I wouldn't be surprised if they were directed to make sure they understood what the customer wanted. I mean, the whole thing is made difficult because Starbucks has three sizes of "big" but when someone asks for a large, they should probably make sure they don't mean tall.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

lisah, I was surprised that Chloe didn't pick Emmett. I mean, I know everyone said he wasn't that fast of a sewer but they seemed to work really well together on the Banana Republic challenge.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
my coffee shop is owned by my neighbor. I don't have to order coffee. I just sit with the group and my coffee shows up. Breakfast - well that changes all the time.
Beth, that sounds wonderful to me. Whereas there are situations were service personnel can get more close than I’d like, as a lifelong outcast I crave a sense of belonging. Having a neighborhood bar or café where they know and like me would be heaven.
I haven't seen much about this story in the regular news, but then my news in mostly cnn.com and I might have just missed it.
Gud, it was covered on KPFA here (not mainstream), but it also made the front page of the sfgate.com (The SF Chron’s home page. I think it might have made the print front page as well.)
JESUS. I hate all the motherfuckers. They are all up in my fucking business! UGH!
Don’t you know the Republicans promised to shrink big government? Just small enough so that it can fit in your bedroom.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Are they correcting you or confirming?
Hmm... how to type tone of voice...
Sometimes they're confirming, but what is annoying is when they're being snooty and correcting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But he can't sew! I guess he could be a calming influence, though.

Last week, Big Boss announced that our new company has a new compulsory lunch policy. And I'm still all, "What do you mean I have to take at least a 30 minute lunch? You mean I have to get it authorized before I can work through lunch? Are they insane? Are they bored and insane? Do I look like I have time for one more bullshit step to complete in the course of my day?"
I'm such a punk. I mean, it's lunch. Last I checked, lunch good.

I think I want a blody mary. Craving the spicy saltiness, mmm. Also, I'm attending an honest-to-god toga party tomorrow. Its an ironic toga party, but still.
I've been watching Project Catwalk, which I presume is the British version of Project Runway, and I'm so very very hooked.
