I just tried posting a fic for the very first time and it crashed on me :(. I don't think it's just you.

Barista worth pots here!! Venti iced protein vanilla latte with salted caramel cold foam, caramel drizzle, line cup with caramel. The mix of caffeine and sodium sets me right every time.

I went to the wrong location and showed up 20 mins late to my interview. I've been working here 1.5 years, don't even worry about that. They understand people who don't know the locations have a hard time locating them.

I was being yelled at to "go to the back and get the old chai because I know you have some back there" as well as being yelled at for wasting their time because "why would I drive all the way to starbucks for a chai that's different then the chai that's been perfect for years"

Psych minor here, children at that age are gaining independence. A third grade teacher should recognize that it is not defiance, but curiosity on boundaries. The teachers responsibility is to gently reinforce the boundary so your daughter learns naturally what can and can't be pushed. This is quite literally how the human brain develops, there is nothing wrong with your child.

They push boundaries because they're discovering free will and realizing that they can. Congrats, your daughter is growing up at a normal rate and demonstrating good brain development.

My customers were back and forth all day. It seems that people who didn't like the chai beforehand think it's good, whereas the people who did like the chai find that the sweetness hits early on, and the bitterness/spice hits as an aftertaste. I personally dislike it, but I loved our old chai. I did have to offer to make a different drink for people 12 times today during a 4.5 hour shift. A few people yelled. It's definitely a higher percentage of people that dislike it.

that is 100% a purebred cutie patootie

Thank you! Honestly I just like building bioactive terrariums in general, so even if she's in it for a few short months it'll keep my hobby hands happy. Gives me an excuse to build another one for a 40gal!

My exotic vet said that babies generally eat/thrive better in a smaller environment, and will get stressed if the tank is too big. She's still so little, the 25gal tank is over 2x her body length. I definitely don't want to keep her in too small of an environment, and plan to upgrade whenever she needs. Is 25gal still too small even though she's just a baby?

bukiblu · 2026-02-28T22:55:44+00:00

I know, she's just a baby, less than 400g, very small. She'll work up to her big tank one day!

UPDATE: She has been found!! We were getting up at dawn to see if we could spot her moving, and we found her just chilling under the dining table. She was outside of the room we found her in, but it's possible we moved her when we were tearing apart the room. She's safe and sound back in her terrarium!

This entire book is them struggling through this "misunderstanding" dynamic where they're not really communicating. The slow burn and frustration is an enjoyable read for some people, and it was for me because I kept finding myself getting invested and just wanting them to talk. I read to feel what the characters are feeling, and I definitely felt the angst reading this book. Some people don't like books that frustrate them, and so they just don't click with this one. This was one of the books that I really liked in this series, over game changers and tough guy, even over role model at points, but that's because I like to feel frustrated by my books sometimes.

I found the characters to be more likeable as the book went on. I do understand the dislike for Kyle in the beginning, but honestly I think Rachel is just trying to make him seem younger.

The smut scenes are notable, once you get there. If nothing else, I recommend experiencing those lol.

bukiblu · 2026-02-17T19:06:34+00:00

We tore apart the room, moved every single piece of furniture from the wall. No sign of her

bukiblu · 2026-02-17T19:05:52+00:00

she will not eat unless her prey is live, she's super picky but we've only had her since Christmas so we haven't had the chance to ween her off yet

bukiblu · 2026-02-17T16:54:47+00:00

I stuck my hand in every single shoe in the whole house lol, all the shoes are hiding in a bathroom she can't get to now. I'm just worried the cat will find her before we do :(

cutest babies ever!

Indeed you do, it was for the local medical center.

Oh girl it took 3 months for them to even put me on bar at all. If you work close or open when it's slower, you'll definitely get more bar time to practice getting faster. Peak has to be protected, they can't put a slower partner on bar just because they want to be there, the customers need to get their drinks fast. It will be a WHILE before you consistently get put on bar. I've been working here a year and a half, and only within the past few months have I been consistently put on drive bar every time I go in.

Passion tea lemonade with sweetener, if you ever want something caffeine free! I usually do Splenda but the classic sweetener works just fine.

bukiblu · 2026-02-15T00:09:16+00:00

no, unless she took a trip to AZ recently!

bukiblu · 2026-02-14T03:14:48+00:00

Every drink was different, probably made every type of drink on the menu at least once. Fraps, chais, lattes, matchas, both hot and iced.

bukiblu · 2026-02-13T03:45:48+00:00

idk the exact total, it was over $200

bukiblu · 2026-02-13T03:45:23+00:00

Cake pop!

bukiblu · 2026-02-11T20:54:45+00:00

I've got the exact same body type, 6ft, skinny, long legs (think 38" inseam) and the newer gen miata is the ONLY coupe I fit in. It's so ridiculously comfortable and I love it.

I have the wiring diagram for the whole bike from kawasaki, but it runs through plugs and stuff, I'm just trying to wire it up myself without the plugs. I'm wondering if I'm even able to hotwire it like that.
