This sign should read “This coffee is NOT GOOD”

Optionally, I feel it should contain a warning label, or one of those Mr. Yuk stickers.

Now I can finally understand why everyone here goes to Starbucks everyday. Despite supporting the largest corporation in the world, it’s the closest place we can get in and out in a relatively timely manner. Even their espresso con panna was good, and the barista knew what ‘con panna’ meant!
There are about five coffee shops nearby. I haven’t had the opportunity to find my favorite yet, but I’m sure that between the shops and my own home roasted french pressed coffee I make at work I’ll be set. I believe I’m going to try Z’s espresso next, as their store in east Lawrence is really good.

I don’t even think I’d accept 25 cents to drink whatever lies in the golden foil bag known to some as coffee. I’ve come to accept the fact that anything that comes in a box of 100 can’t be all that great or fresh, and this is no exception. Yeah, I’m a snob, but I enjoy my coffee.

Today marks my first day without the leadership of the superlative Kevin “FilmGuru” Wohler, my former boss. Kevin has gone on to bigger and better things for himself. Personally and I’d like to take a moment to say one more time;

Congratulations Kevin!

Throughout my three years at Washburn Kevin has given me great skills in both grammar and etiquite (even though it may not seem like it at times). I’ve developed the skills to communicate more effectively and in a more professional manner when neceesary. Emphasis on the when neccesary. :)
Kevin has been both a great boss and friend through our professional lives and I know things will continue to be that way. Who else helps their boss move their entire apartment? I’m glad that our relationship allowed for both a working and personal friendship. For the time being at least we’re both employed by the same institution even if in different areas.

Kevin, thanks for being a great friend and mentor.
