Random bits and pieces

I have no idea when a comprehensive Seattle post will occur. For those who have friended me on Facebook, photos are up there. For those who know my Flickr, photos are up there as well. Livejournal peeps, it'll happen at some point, I promise.
Working in a coffee shop has reminded me of how much I hate people in general. Fellow customer service buddies, feel free to weigh in, but in my opinion people suck. No matter how many nice regulars I have (and the store has a lot, they rock), there are always enough assholes to make me want to grab humanity and shake it like a British nanny. (ooh, too far? whatever, Family Guy went there first and I stole the joke from them, blame Seth McFarlane.) But seriously, even if there a hundred super awesome people that I interact with throughout the day, the assholes always stand out. I was talking to Palmer about this and he said that's why he never wanted to do customer service- everyone he knows that has done it hates people in general. But the way I see it, there may be some positives. For example, I am an ideal customer. Unless something goes completely haywire, I'm super calm and understanding about mistakes, and always give the cashier a huge (genuine) smile and make small talk with whomever is helping me out. I also don't put up with shit from fellow customers. I have actually called people out for being assholes to employees, and will continue to do so until humanity learns a vital lesson: DON'T FUCK WITH PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOUR FOOD!
Anyhow, Easter dinner was delicious as always. Wore my new dress which I am quite pleased with. Am planning on getting several maxi dresses for summer, am quite excited.
Oh, so random: apparently to all my hippie friends I am a complete hipster. Well, not as bad as Greg. He's the real deal. But they all consider me a hipster, and its super funny in an "I want to cry" kind of way. Must be the skinny jeans and the flats and the Chrome bag which all the hipsters have since co-opted as their own. FUCK YOU, HIPSTERS, I HAD IT FIRST! But now I worry about my sartorial choices, like, will this make me look like a hipster? Will this make me look like I'm trying to hard to be ironic, like a hipster? If I don't shower today does that mean I'm a hipster or just lazy? Life is rough, let me tell you.
Ok, enough babbling for one night. Much love to you all, Seattle post will be coming as soon as I can muster the willpower. (What a hipster thing to say...)
