New and Pretty Unexciting News

I'm a barista now. Lord, how I hate that term. "Barista". There were words before that for people who made things at a counter and gave them to you: either a clerk, or a cashier, or a waiter or waitress. But no, a new term had to be given to the unique and ineffable duties of a clerk at a coffee bar. And it needed to sound extraordinarily European. Fuck "Barista". I make coffee and give it to you. Sometimes I'll make you a bagel. Don't saddle me with some ludicrous pseudo-Italian terminology, especially when I'm making $7.50 an hour.
