I was in line at BK today, and the middle aged man in front of me asked the staff for a coffee. The girl told him they didn't do coffee. He looked confused, and asked them what drinks they DID do. She told him, he began to get rather annoyed that he wasn't gonna get a coffee, and asked her what the closest thing to coffee they had was... now she was confused, and suggested perhaps an orange juice. The man stormed off, not happy they wouldn't serve him a coffee.
Now, if the general consensus amongst coffee drinkers is that Starbucks coffee sucks, then how bad would BK coffee be? And with the number of Starbucks along Queen Street, why would you go to a BK for a coffee in the first place? That'd be like going into the Warehouse and asking for a quality television.
Walking to work is turning out OK. I doubt I'll lose any weight, but I suppose I'll get my 'Never Played On iPod' playlist down a bit from 2337 songs. Does anyone else with an iPod feel nervous when they listen to a CD at home, knowing the plays aren't going to be added to the iPod playcount, and therefore making it look like you listen to that particular song/band less often than you actually do?
We are ridiculously over target today (but it's dead now), so should climb our way back into the top three stores in the chain. Bring on the bonus... Though the dire need for it is a little lessened now. Last night I came up with my latest plan to make brazilians of dollars; design a board game. Not like a really ccomplex one that's aimed at a small niche market, I mean something ubiquitous and universal like Checkers, or Ludo. Something that in 100 years will be so elementary and well known that people will forget it even needed to be invented in the first place, and won't be copyrighted, cause no one will know who made it, assuming it had been around for centuries, yet in reality was invented by me and made me a brazilian dollars.
Rob and I once had the idea to develop a board game based around terrorism, and I even went as far as designing a board, a set of rules, etc etc. Needless to say, I don't think that is the game I described above.
But instead of focusing my energies of conceptualising the next backgammon, tonight I think I'll continue my epic game of Age Of Empires II. I WILL establish a beachhead on the neighbouring continent, and I WILL win. Damn Turks, with their mobile flaming-rock catapults. I can build them too now, so lets see...
