Your lungs are coated with ground coffee and you can get a contact caffeine buzz from standing over a burr grinder. <br /><br />That man is a profit-maker.

I'd love to hear how your new coffee venture is going. How does it feel to be the owner instead of the employee? How's business? How's the baby? (Maternity leave? I didn't know! Congrats!!)

I'm eight months in my own green apron.<br /><br />You would probably spit to hear the latest junk coming out of head office...but then I'm sure you've seen the ads for our new flavored coffees...so that gives you a pretty good idea. Be thankful you're missing the latest in efficiency training. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm looking forward to your posts about being an owner!
