I swear-I think the homework that Isaac has is meant to be sweet revenge for all of the insane things I’ve assigned over the years in the name of education. This year, by district rules, Kindergarten kids are supposed to have 15 minutes of homework a week. Our wonderful Kindergarten teacher (bless her-she does AM

I’ve been asked by a few people if I’m ok with not working at the ‘bux anymore. Frankly, I can’t be more ok with it after what happened this weekend. I’m now glad to have the weekends to myself again and not doing a straight 6 day week. I don’t have to deal with post

We’re down to 1 shift left. Frankly, because of the way this all went down, I’m just over it. Seriously over it. So, since I’m that over it, I’m in “I’ll do what I please” mode. I’ll say what I want, not care and go from there. It works for other people around the ‘bux

So, as everyone knows, the economy is in the toilet, thanks to our last president. So, I was wondering when it was going to hit me here in East Nowhere. Well, it finally has. With my availability, I meet the requirements for employment with the ‘Bux, but Big W was told by our

Why did a parent laugh as his son pretended to use an umbrella handle to shoot me, saying “oh, what are you doing, shooting the Starbucks lady?” yeah. If anyone can answer that, there will be a prize.
This has been a week at the ‘bux. It was back to the normal grind of the week, teaching a few days and then slinging coffee the rest. It was all sorts of drama this week… we had the usual rash of freaky customers, but none to really write home about. So, let’s start with

Things have been pretty tame at the ‘bux lately…and that makes for no Green Apron Tales of substance. We’ve had your basic water filter problems, annoying people demanding breakfast sandwiches (which are coming in April…oh, bloody hell…but that’s another thing..) and the usual dimwited minutia. This was until the other day. We got a rash

Seriously. I can’t make the stuff that’s happened over the past 2 days up. I was telling Mom all of this stuff, and she said: “People are pathetic.” Seriously. They are. So, hold on to your hats…this is the crap I can’t make up that happens at the ‘bux. So, I’m on the DTR as

It’s been back to the normal grind-teach 2.5 days, the bux 2-3 days. It was kinda nice having people ask me where I’ve been…and then going “Oh, wait! you went back to the OTHER place!” I had one even ask me if it was another ‘bux. No. No…I can only take the one I’m at.

I’ve kind of been on a self imposed hiatus from blogging-just to get through the holidays and keep my toungue in check…but today, the Green Apron tales are back-so, grab that cup of Apple infused chai (oh, so yummy!) and enjoy the show! So, it was was New Year’s day, we had the store open later (thank
