I was standing in line at a coffee shop- it was a long line, an extremely long line. Come to think of it, this whole experience is because of that line – curse the sugar junkies and caffeine addicts of St. Charles Avenue!
I had been standing there for what must have been close to fifteen minutes, behind some fifteen to twenty people all with multiple orders. They must be a real delight so early in the morning for the servers who were still weary from a short night’s sleep. Then I realize it must have really been a delight. Their list of orders was good business unlike me who only ordered a single American Latte that I could have made at home…but let’s just stick to the topic. Behind me stands our project manager whom I knew was about to be a pain in the neck from the overly warm way he greeted me good morning. This warm greeting was just the opposite of what he has in store for us for the rest of the day.
