About Me:
Their once was a Barista who was drowning in debt
She tried and tried her best I bet

Her drinks were great and her smile would never waver
But the tips alone could not sustain her

Years went buy in this industry
But sometimes you need more to live than just coffee

Every check was gone before it came
She couldn't barely feed her dog and that was lame

One day another opportunity arose
And no, it was not training dingos

She took the job with a heavy heart
As she could no longer practice latte art

On a shelf her tamper sits pristine, cold and lonely
Bored in this office she's becoming cynical and bitchy

Going to work was no longer a joy
"Why don't you get a car? Your bike is just a toy"

But alas this story is not through
This is getting long, should I have written a haiku?

Very soon her debts will be paid
And she can go back from which she strayed


I'M BACK!!!! STILL IN DEBT BUT MUCH HAPPIER NOW :O)
About My Company:
I'm the head barista/general manager/quality control over at The Wormhole Coffee here in Chicago!
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
