Yesterday, several very cool things happened. One was that while I am still working at the South Tejon Starbucks the majority of my time, I had a considerably better day than usual. I think that they got my point about how they aren't very welcoming to new workers. I had several people comment on how they thought I was doing a good job, and one of them gave me a green apron card (For those of you not of the Starbucks persuasion, a green apron card is a recognition device that Starbucks employees can use to award one another. They have 5 catagories, and if you get one of each, you get a pin to wear on your apron. It's just a neat way of saying that you noticed that whoever you gave it to was doing a good job, and that you appreciate them.) but she scratched out it's category "Compassionate" that it came with, and wrote "Brave" there. The inscription on the back said that the card was for "staying positive in the face of adversity." It was a really kind sentiment, and I almost feel bad about leaving... uh... well, not really.
The second really cool thing came from the same store. One of the shift managers is moving, and she gave Sarah and I her couch and a coffee table. They are both great, and I would've picked them out myself if we had been out shopping. VERY VERY COOL. Now we won't have to watch movies in our lawn furniture!
Anyway, I'll write more later this week.
Peacy-weese.
P.S. Massa, don't tell Vicki, but I almost feel bad for her getting engaged to that dipwad. Which reminds me... don't date dipwads. If you're not careful, they'll propose. Then you'll be stuck with a dipwad, and that's no good. Kaitlin, that goes for you and Gabi too. Bo-Daggit.

Praise be to Jesus, who provides for us in ways beyond that which we could ask or think!!! (see Ephesians 3) He has ways of coming over the hill with the cavalrywhen we least expect (or sometimes deserve) His help. It's all because He cares about every single aspect of our lives, down to the decor of our homes - because He knows our innermost heart's desires.
GIVE HIM PRAISE!!!! Dad
he really is a dipwad....
Jesus?!?
haha great advice Jim.
If you were looking for a coffee table, I could have hooked you up with the one my friends and I made! It's bright turquoise and white. A bit off balance, but hey, it's modern! We ship globally :P
Glad to hear your good news! Good luck acquiring more less modern furnature!
Its good to see some posts from you lately. You were having such a dry spell I was beginning to watch for your name in the newspaper. I noticed that your more recent posts, with just a few slight modifications, could be changed into country and western songs. Like, replace "Starbucks" with "prison" or change "apron" to "12 gauge" and the like. Dude, where is the bitterness? Where is that rock and roll? Have you stopped reading my blog? Have you stopped listening to the Ramones? Are you getting all 21st Century or something? Do people still get beat up where you live now?
Okay, try this prescription:
1. Ramones: Blitzkrieg Bop
2. Black Flag: My War
3. New York Dolls: Babylon
4. Prong: Beg To Differ
5. Saliva: Survival of the Sickest
6. AC/DC: C.O.D.
If this doesn't help, email or call, and I will prescribe (inflict upon) you a more harsh dose.
Seriously, I care about you and Sarah a lot. Don't get all busy with life and forget to be young . . .
Note to Ryan...
I don't think that it was anyone's intention to call Jesus a dipwad.
I have notified him on his blog.
Jim,
I followed about 50% of your prescription, having no black flag or Saliva songs.
I think I have C.O.D. by A.C.D.C., but it's not on the iPod yet.
Jim
