On Our Friends Are Starting to Have Babies
9.5 lbs and the largest of the pack (thus why I know how much I weighed). I turned out pretty average sized.

On Follow Your Passion? No. Follow The Money
@EvanDeSimone YES. I've never met anyone in my generation that has said, I'm too good for this work. I have met plenty of people that say I CANNOT afford to take this job because I have to eat. Nearly every one of my peers has taken some kind of unpaid internship. They've all got loans. I graduated from my journalism school about five years ago with 20 other people. I can think of one or two who still have a jobs at an actual news outlet and do old fashioned reporting. Everyone is hustling, doing freelance work, blogging, documentaries, or they've given up the journalism dream altogether and moved on to something else.

On Apple Uses Psycho Warfare on You Just Like Everyone Else
My new aprons for Starbucks have the company's goals stitched into the inside of it so you see them as you put it on.

On Be Nice to Your Barista ... or Else
@frozenstrawberry also on the being really nice, we love regulars that treat us like people. We will do awesome things for you under the table like let you try a drink for free and then not charging you if you hate it. We'll cover you if you forgot your wallet and we know you'll pay tomorrow. sometimes we'll just toss you one on the house just because. We might even let you do a phone in order. Kindness has it's own perks, but don't abuse our love either.

@frozenstrawberry a coffeestain pointed out, baristas get paid basically the same as the guy at McDonald's. So really it's awesome if you'r just nice to us. Every couple days dropping in a dollar is nice or a quarter or any change is good too. We're not surviving on tips but that extra 20 bucks a week does help us buy lunch, pay for gas, etc. if you're getting a standard drink I don't expect tipping. If you're getting something complicated (more than just different milk, line different temps or lots of drinks) a tip is nice because we have to spend more time on your order (it takes about a minute per standard espresso drink), and that slows us down. I will also at that the government expects that we will get tipped and they take about 50 cents per working hour in taxes for that.

@BananaPeel you can't tip with a credit card either. might have something to do with pooling tips.

@BananaPeel sorry you got to tip us in cash and a dollar would be considered quite generous in most places. :-)

On Ad Campaign Awful, But Effective
I've done Disney at all ages and have fond memories. (It was our yearly family vacation. One day to drive down, one in the park, one day back up.) I've done it as an adult but think it's way more fun with little kids. They're so amazed and excited about everything!It's contagious.
