earl grey latte

would be absolutely perfect for this week.

Quite a relaxing 5 days of school. No need to subway down to co-op, no projects or tests, late start tomorrow followed by 2 half-days (to be spent at jasons and lyndon's), bliiiissssssss~

Planning on catching up on some anime (maybe, depends, so much trouble), books and magazines (definitely) and have some nice cups of tea.


On the topic of being chill, I came up with some pretty good reasons to not get angry at someone in the service industry.

1. It stresses you out. If a situation is already not going the way you expect it to (emphasis on the way you expected it to), why stress yourself out more?

2. The person serving you doesn't want trouble either. Personally when I'm working, if anyone comes up to me with a problem, I really just want to solve it asap and move on. If you are yelling and bitching at the person serving you, s/he will be less willing to solve the problem for you. Also 99% of the time it isn't his/her fault. Happy server = better problem solving=happier you.

3. If you make a scene and hold up the line, the person serving you will be distracted by the other needy patrons and therefore devote less attention to solving your problem. However, if you have an ounce of patience and just wait for a little bit on the side, the person serving you will be able to give you his/her full attention. Also it gives you time to calm down.

But if you do rage, it'll give the workers something to make jokes about later on ;D

An ounce of patience, perhaps?

Always aim for the top! CALL THE MANAGER!
