Date: Dec 29 03:43 Author: theSam!! -Sleep was fitful that night, I'd wake up expecting to hear Mom yelling at Daddy again and storming off into theNight but I never did. All I heard was the soft sighs of lil'Sister in the bed next to mine and the quick breaths of my infant brother in his crib, Daddy had taken us Lamanites off theRez (the Indian Reservation), but he couldn't take theRezLife out of Mom, she'd go a few months sober and clean and then, would go out drinking for a few days and would leave us kids with Daddy, Now adays WIC, OCS and a host of other "childrensServices" advocates flanked by Police officers would noKnock a house or an apt if they even suspected childNeglect/Abuse/or otherEndangerment, if they even got an anonymous tip!!, but back then, you could live next door to an Officer and wouldn't know it no m...

More of BaristaSam!!'s How To Tell ..... Are you in theHolidaySpirit yet?! -You can tell your BaristaSup doesn’t care anymore when ..... you quit turning your greenApron inside out and upside down and backwards to hide the milk stains cos she never complains about it NOT being Clean anymore. -You can tell your BaristaSup doesn’t care anymore when ..... your Kiosk runs out of Vanilla and WholeCoffeeBeans, she sneaks off to the CoffeeAisle in theSupermarket and returns with name brand Vanilla flavored syrup and fresh ground coffee beans!! cos normally she’d just call theOtherCoffeeStores and get supplies delivered next day. -You can tell your BaristaSup!! doesn’t care anymore when ..... she’s filling out Job apps to other places and for OTHER vocations right in front of you and theCustomers!! in fact, “you’re” tapping her shoulder now, instead of the other way around while you’re washing dishes or cleaning, telling her a customer is right in front of her!! -You can tell your BaristaS...

-When Barista's Go Bad!! they get even worse than their old coffee, which, they sneak cups of when theStoreMgr's not looking!! they do it to just keep theNewFound bitterness going!! Either that or they're just trying to pick themselves up after a 2 day 151 Rum & Coke bender all alone in their Apt with their Guitars, theRadio and theInet!! ehh... wait. I'm behind on my Inet bill, but I'm juss sayin'!! -When Barista's Go Bad!! they get even more friendly and homey than theMotelSixx folks, cos, not only do these BadBarista's "Leave theLight on" they pretty much leave everything "AS IS" up unto the last minute of their work shift, and then THEY LEAVE!! *sigh* at least it's a good thing that I still pick up after my StoreSup, theShiftMgr and my Jr Partners!! We all learned our lessons though, in dealing with each other. It was hilarious to slowly follow along a very rushed Partner, whom was wanting to clock out quickly and go out d...

when I first got to theVillage!! it sat there in theMainLodge!! for a few weeks as bitter cold February wind whipped outside and demoralized everything in it's cold clutches, icy grip. But it sat safe and sound under theTV set that showed theARK channel, fuzzy, wavy, Grainy tv channel at 1940's finest during year 2001!! It was thePiano that no one knew of, that no one knew how to play and that no one cared to get to know, much like their VillagePublicSafetyOfficer it seemed, it took up space (in theLodge's front room) where everyone sat and stared mindlessly at the box IT held up, atlas-like with, theWorld literally upon it's mahogany shoulders!! But I knew. Because I had been trained in theBasics of finding theKeys and finding theGroups of keys and chords that sounded best that brought out theBEST sound from it's maple and ash framework, from it's Cedar planks, from thePlastic / sans Ivory!! keys and it was the Spirit of it's innerBeauty that really matte...

it's currently 0400hrs, AKDT, I tossed and turned for a while in fitful sleep, then sat up, scooted over on my bed to within reach of my pianoKeyboard, turned it on and attached my Headphones (so I won't disturb any of my roomies in theOther AP rooms) and did some basic scales, now I feel much better that I've done that. It was my first winter with my churchFoster family, those mormons that took me in for one school year to help me transition into a life full of better education & better Life opportunities as well, my homesickness was past yet most nights I fell asleep in tears missing Mama and lil' Sister Jess & lil' brother Allen (Charles, now deceased of Cancer) I was born Lakota, had been infused?! (for lack of a better word right now at 4a.m.) had been given theDNA of my ancestors, passed down to me from my mother, those precious markers and traits that only theWomen can carry and pass down to their offspring, I was taught Lakota, had been given the b...

Carrs Safeway, Anchorage, Alaska Carrs Safeway Starbucks Barista Starbucks Barista Barista!! ---- hello everyone!! theSam!! is happy that it's snowing once again here in theCity!!, theBarista work is slowing down a bit, at least for me, it seems now, after almost 2 months of Barista work, that when I get comfortable with my schedule moving up from 20-something hours a week, to almost 40hrs a week, that something negative happens and I find myself being moved back to a part time schedule. And it all has to do with some problems that I seem to be having with Customer Service, as it all relates to representing Starbucks and theCarrs Safeway stores. When I had someone call me on the phone in Sep, and sent me to an Group interview for Carrs Safeway, I had no idea that later on in this new line of work, Barista!!, that problems would pop up, I was only glad to be back to working and still staying within theFood & Beverage Industry that I have come to love. when my "class" ...
