movie tone

in a response to this, i think i might have to face the same thing as before. o well.

in other news i am happy for the sharks. i am sure they are happy too. i think us sharks bloggers: rob, shannon, tim, morgan and i should go to a game and we will live blog about each play. ill take care of the left wing that is on the ice, morgan takes defense, shannon takes goalie, tim takes right wing, and rob takes center. ok?

estimations

5 years
multiplied by 25 hours a week (assumed)
is 6500 hours that i have given to starbucks.

in that time i have:
seen one customer get married and divorced
seen one customer give birth to three kids
seen many customers get married
seen many customers date eachother
seen many customers date employees
worked under 5 district managers
worked under 4 store managers
had over 25 assistant managers
called the police about 20 times
kicked out about 6 people
kicked out one guy twice
gotten time off to go to china, europe (twice), hawaii, mexico, and many smaller trips
worked with over 100 people
seen about 6 employees come back to the store after a long absence
changed churches
changed housing
changed schools
gotten about 8 haircuts
gotten a new car
(and put 52000 miles on it)
stayed in the same building.
behind the same counter.
looking at the same cracks in the wall.
seeing the same faces.
but there is still this degree of "fake".
like.
i know you so well because i can make your latte.
and.
you know me so well because i can make your latte.
but.
we've done this for so long.
and.
i made a mild attempt by asking your name.
but.
that was the end, 1 year ago.
or.
that was the end, 2 years ago.
or.
that was the end, 3 years ago.
or.
that was the end, 4 years ago.
or.
that was the end, 5 years ago.
but.
i feel that giving my name out is a sign of trust.
or a sign of truth.
like.
the fact that you care about my name shows me that you care.
and.
the fact that i know your name, shows you that i care.
but.
you assume i "have" to know your name.
so.
things will be fake. stupid fake conversation.
now i dont even laugh at their "fake" jokes.

(sorry if that was weird)
