Fingers in the Pie.

"Here I am, a brain the size of a planet and you're asking me to make espresso for you? You call that job satisfaction, cause I do."

I am, and have been an official guru of the Magpie tribe for several months now. The Magpie of course is simply the coolest Coffee house within several earths of here. It is run by the venerable Adam. Adam is my boss and tells me what not to do in a respected place of business in addition to utterly confusing me half the time. He makes me laugh. A lot.

Adam is superceided by the benevolent Melenie. Melenie is our den mother and works to mantain the sanity of us all (especially her own). Melenie is also widely considered to be our HR-go-to-lady. She also handles the cash around here, so make sure you know that 5X3 isn't 72.

Then there's Crissy. This lovely lady happens to be married to Adam. A cute couple they make. Their wedding was awesome. Crissy makes it her mision in life to be nice to people. Everywhere she goes: Smile!! She also has been known to do the cutest dances.

Contrary to rumors, Frodo does not work at the Magpie. *slap* However, there's Kelly-Rae to hold us over until Frodo gets here. Kelly is a barrel full of monkeys who is obsessed with sports. Any sport, you name it, she'll tell you all about it. She also makes a special effort to reach out to our regulars and help them cope with decafination anxiety when drip coffee is low. Don't ask her for "expresso" or she will have a silent explosion. Oh and don't tell her that you are a Yanks fan even if you are for real, no matter how fun it is to se her reaction. We must always do what we can to keep our co-worker's emotional stability intact.

Of course, there's always Jason. Without Jason, our kitchen would be unsafe to enter without riot gear. Armed with his sticky-labeler, Jason turned our kitchen into a well oiled machine. He also keeps all of us well versed in the politics of the day.

We have a frog named Gimli who pretends to work here. He's the one who gets the "intern tips."

There are so many more things to tell of the wonderful trip that is the Magpie Coffee house. Come and visit us sometime.
