Frailty, thy name is Starbucks.

Do you ever have that one seemingly insignificant moment in your day when it makes you stop and think, "Well... my day is going to suck..."? My moment came at about... ohh I'd say 6:36am. I am at my desk at work by 7am every weekday, so I usually never have the time to stop for coffee. Today was an exception. I was craving an iced white mocha, so I made it a point to leave my house at 6:20.



I headed to the local Starbucks, got my coffee, and made it to work around 6:50. I turned my computer on, unwrapped my straw, and took my first sip. Sugar. I got a mouthful of gritty sugar. It tasted like I had faceplanted on the beach with my mouth wide open. I stirred my drink and sipped again. Coffee grounds? Ok, now I wasn't sure if I had sugar OR coffee grounds in my mouth. Quite possibly a combination of the two. I'm not usually big on complaining, and had I tasted my coffee while I was still in the parking lot, I still probably wouldn't have taken it back inside, just to avoid a scene... but seriously? If I'm paying almost $5 for a cup of coffee, it better be the best coffee I've ever tasted in my life. EVERY time.

Cheers,
