Sneaking…

Sneaking in a quick write from work (the Law Office, not Sbux, silly

The Bux was better this morning.  I hardly had to go on the bar at all *whew*  I was soooo sick of it after yesterday.  I love "expediting" much better.  That’s what they call it when you get to just run around and serve people… take the orders, mark the cups, pour the coffee, serve the pastries, wipe up and clean and interact with the customers the most.  It’s the best excercise because you run all over the place and hoist the urns, plus it seems like you get the best chance to talk with the customers and smile and make jokes and stuff and that’s what always cheers me up because, if you have to pretend to be nice and cheerful, you always end up feeling nice and cheerful.

Anyway, I’d better get back to work here.  I don’t want to rip off my lawyer.. he’s such a great guy.  He already gave me compliments this morning on how great I am.  He said something nice and I said, "Well, we aim to please…" and he answered… "And you always do."  It made me feel so good! 

If bosses only realized how hard most people would work if they just got praise… it makes you feel like you would practically sweat blood for them, you know?  It’s like it does something almost physiological to hear someone say something positive to you so that you clamp up and energize and find yourself vowing to do even MORE, even BETTER, even STRONGER than you did before.

Maybe that’s just for those of us whose "love language" is "Words of Affirmation"  but there are a lot of us out here.

(There are four other "love languages" and I heartily recommend the book to help you in ALL your relationships, not just love ones.)

Well… back to work C U l8r

P.S.  Next time you’re in Sbux and you’re looking for a cool refreshing, very low calorie drink… I recommend the passion iced tea with just a spritz of either the cinnamon (my personal favorite) or valencia syrup in it…. it’s WONDERFUL!!!!!

For hot yummy and really not too bad calorie-wise…. have them put a bit of caramel sauce drizzle in the bottom of a cup then spoon a bunch of foam in then pour one or two shots of espresso in the cup then more foam and maybe a tablespoon of milk then some more caramel drizzle.  This is the dieter’s caramel machiato… A regular caramel macchiato is filled w/milk as well as a healthy dose of vanilla syrup… plenty of calories… My version is super yummy but MANY FEWER calories.  It works well if you really like the foam 🙂

P.P.S.  Speaking of recommendations, I used that Nivea Body Lotion with that Q10 stuff that one of our diarist friends had been recommending and she was right! That stuff rocks…  my skin feels like satin.  Just wanted to confirm that recommendation and pass it on 🙂
