Coffee, anyone?

I woke up extra early to get to work this morning, put on my Starbucks apron, arranged the headset to fit perfectly on my head. But, this wasn't what I'm interested in, I just want the coffee. Pumpkin Spice, Chai Tea Latte, all of them. It's winter and all I want is a warm drink to accompany my morning endeavors. Especially this morning, it was snowing.
I drove to the biggest Starbucks in town where I occupy the manager spot and nobody's here. I turn on the news and find out the day is stay-at-home because all the roads are blocked. Maybe my day could be stay-at-starbuck's. Then, another car drove up, it was my best friend Jordan. She always comes to this Starbucks in the morning so she can tell me what to do, and I have to obey willingly.
The first thing that pops out of her mouth is, "I'll have a grande moccassippi please."
"That's it?"
"oh, decaf, one shot of milk, cream on top, and mix it all together well for me, love."
"Haha, not today Jordan, didn't you hear, Starbucks isn't open."
"So, you're saying that there's a bunch of coffee laying around that you know how to make, and we're now stuck in this store together, AND it's snowing outside. Did I mention you know how to make coffee?"
Then, I knew, today was going to be a nice day off.
Jordan and I drank all the coffee we could, paying each time. Eventually we ran out of money and we went outside to have a snow fight, then we heard the bulldozer. It rolled past us and we could've stopped right there, but we decided to invite more people instead. By the end of the snowball war, my body was numb and I drove back home. I went straight to my bed and slept, dreaming of a snowball avalanche falling onto Jordan.

  1. Well you seem to be very knowledgeable about coffee. I wish it would snow here more often...

  2. At first I thought that you were talking about yourself and I was confused because I didn't know you worked. I liked how you put dialogue into your post this week.
