sleeping with the enemy

As some of you know Brooke started a new job last week. It pains me to broadcast this on the internet but her new employer is Starbucks. There, I said it. Admitting the problem is the first step to dealing with it. Since I've discussed it before I won't go into all the details of why I don't care much for Starbucks. I just don't.

However, I have to admit that Starbucks is growing on me. First of all they are providing my wife with temporary (I emphasize temporary) employment. We need money and they're giving her a paycheck so I can't complain too much. Second, we have been without any health insurance for over a month now and we need some. After two months of part-time employment Brooke will qualify to receive health benefits so that's another plus I can't argue with. Third (and most importantly), Starbucks has been the place where I can get a drink most similiar to a Flat White. Mmmmm.... Flat White.

I guess at the end of the day even though she's a slave to the multi-national, corporate machine responsible for globalizing bad coffee I still love her.
