Sup y'all.

Welcome to our newest lurker turned contributor...you'll love it here.

Love that y'all drink Starbucks...well, most of yous. Dirty Chai is indeed what we like to call it. Try a chai with two shots of espresso. This is the Filthy Chai! Ask me anything Starbucks by the way...I have lots of knowledge...just no insider trader stuff y'all.

Beer: I love it all! No, seriously, never tried a beer I didn't like.

No tequila for me tonight but the wife just made authentic tacos down to the last detail. Which reminds me...gotta go back inside and finish the dishes since she is giving Cooper a bath.

Is the Starbucks health plan really as decent as I've heard? I could possibly learn to deal with people on a more regular basis if the benefits were worth it. And since I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up I can always try new things.

It really is. I have also had 401k, Stock Purchase Plan (at discount), Stock Grants every year, and in my current position, performance bonuses aren't too shabby. Fwiw, all this, besides the bonuses are available at entry level after 3 months of averaging 20 per week. Entry level and supervisors get tipped out weekly. Management does not. Hence, bonuses.

Well holy poo - I think after the summer is over I may see if one of my many local Starbucks is hiring.
 
^ Bahaha, where do you guys find this stuff?

Morning everyone!
Had a lot of fun last night. :) Wife tapped in when I was tapping out to get to bed pretty early. Always happens this way and she got home pretty late. Tried the tripe tacos and I thought they were borderline disgusting, but hey, it's not for everyone. The "sonoran hot dog" was delicious though. Basically a big ol hot dog topped with braised short rib. :D Chatted with the owner who I think has been living there since it opened. She's really cool and we heartily thanked her for opening a place in our neighborhood (3 blocks away). Her other restaurants are up in Silver Spring just outside of DC.
 
Morning dread.

On my way to work now. We had tequila lime fajitas last night, and I get them again for lunch.

Happy hump day everyone.
 
They were good! I marinated the chicken and then grilled it, I think the flavor of fajitas with grilled chicken as opposed to it being sauteed is so much better. Then mix a little reserved marinade in with the green peppers, onions, and mushrooms when I saute them. And it was tequila day, didn't plan it, but celebrated anyways ;)
 
Morning everyone. Last day here for a while. Leaving this afternoon on vacation and won't be back for 2 weeks. This will either be the most epic trip ever, or the worst trip ever, haha! :)

Enjoy your trip!! Pics would be nice so some of us can live vicariously through you. :D
 
Good morning everyone and happy hump day!

Still waiting to be able to reply to comments in the Google Play store. It would make my life a whole lot easier.

Also learning how to do in app purchases today and trying to figure out a pricing scheme. Thinking about doing something like $1.99 IAP removes advertisements and unlocks PRO features and this way I can put it on sale (lower it to $0.99 for a week at a time every once and a while) to hopefully pull in some more revenue. Just tons of thought right now.

Do you work at Starbucks corporate or at a local store? Sounds like a really good position.

Very jealous - a 2 week vacation sounds great right now.

Have tons of fun. Hopefully by the time you get back, my app will almost be finished.

Thanks guys! I'll have tons of pics when we get back and will definitely post some. Bought a new lens, a neutral density filter, and a new polarizer specifically for this trip. Taking my 60D and entire lens collection with two 32GB SD cards, my wife is taking her p&s with around a 16GB card in it, plus our two phones. We took a 4 day trip to NYC last summer and came back with 1,000+ pics, haha.
