Attempt at chic-cafe-breakfast-snob-work

[elusivek]

So, after Tuesday (my day off taking the dog to the vet's for teeth scaling), I sort of acquired the taste of having my laptop and working on it over breakfast in a cafe.

So I attempted doing that this morning.

I knew there was this cafe that opens at 8.00am near my place, the owner is a friendly Australian guy and they serve all-day breakfast anyway, so I figured, I'll go there today!

To find out that, they've changed their operating hours. Meh. So I had to head over to... Starbucks.

I don't dislike Starbucks. I love their Green Tea Latte. I hate the clientele.

So I was working resutely on the minutes from the Animal Welfare thingie (from last night) and then hoardes of "new rich novoricos" kids meander in, grabe three tables on my left, and another group of the same grab two tables on my front.

And they chatter and make discussions and oh gods just shut up.

Starbucks is just too mainstream and for the younger crowd.

Did I just say that? Did I just admit I'm in the older crowd? OMG.

Anyway, I have the meeting minutes issued, I prepared the next meeting agenda, I made a couple follow up calls, my work is done, the experience has me back into my introverted self. I want to go home. I'm going to hide at home. Now.

I'm a starbucks addict but I don't really ever get to sit inside and enjoy my drinks because it's always packed, but not with the younger crowd, my local starbucks is packed with seniors. They come in, in the morning, find a spot and never leave.

that's a pity, as i think the charm of Starbucks is actually their shop in itself (more proof that I don't appreciate coffee... I like the smell of coffee, but not so much a fan of the drink).
What are your favourite drinks at Starbucks?

I don't like coffee either, but I love a good iced coffee.. I usually get a caramel iced coffee or a vanilla iced coffee but I'm obsessed with the black tea lemonade now.
