Morning randomness

Mike Tyson pays respect to Mao

And I woke up with the first track, 'Hung Up', from Madonna's not-so-new-anymore album stuck in my head. An album I own but have listened to MAYBE twice.

We have a new girl training at work. I stopped in Saturday night to get an espresso on my way elsewhere. I was sitting at the back counter drinking my espresso and she came back to grind a pound of coffee for a customer. After most of the beans had gone through, she looked into the top of the grinder and saw that there were still beans stuck to the sides of the hopper. So, I watched in horror as she reached her hand into the hopper to brush the beans down towards the grinder. At this point, I practically leapt across the counter and started shouting her name. To no avail. So I started clapping my hands. I was less than three feet away from her. My co-worker at the cash, easily 10-15 feet away (I'm really bad at spatial estimates), turned around because she heard me. Not the new girl, though. After she turned the grinder off, she was rather surprised to see me leaning across the counter and so close to her. I practically yelled in her face, 'DON'T EVER PUT YOUR HAND IN THE GRINDER LIKE THAT WHEN IT'S PLUGGED IN, NEVER MIND TURNED ON!'

'Oh,' she responded. 'Yeah. I guess that's not such a good idea, huh?'

Did I mention that I have a job interview on Thursday for an office assistant position? With the non-profit that my roommate works for?
