deader than deader than deader than dead

today, at the shop, it was D.E.A.D. dead. there was a window of 2 hours where i counted a total of 5 customers. now granted, it *IS* a holiday weekend/week and the weather is awfully nice....

it's hard to be at work when it's like that. first, because this was more an "emergency-related" return to the world of coffee, but second, i know that labour is the HIGHEST cost at any job. while i definately need the money, it's difficult being '"trapped" in a slooooooooow day.

unrelated: i'm not sure if it's because of where i live/ work but what is up with all the women who are preggers??? and only about half of them are drinking decaf (i'm not a doctor, clearly, so i won't question those who get the full caffeinated versions)
