    I hate all kinds of cutesy corporate talk. It makes people sound like idiots.

    Disney referring to employees as cast members is bad enough, but when Google employees refer to themselves as Googlers, I want to puke.

    And here I thought "dickhead" was just their pet name for me.

    There's three of them in my building. One of them is fairly new, one of the huge "reserve" stores (or whatever they're called, I can't keep that straight either). They're pretty slow still but nice as hell and most of them know me by now. I'll get to the register and they've punched in my usual order so I just scan my app and collect my points and my drink. Saves me from making a fool of myself trying to remember what's what with sizes.

    But those times I go elsewhere?

    Their new iced tea is pretty darn good. Venti all the way!!

    If they wanted to hand me a Google-size paycheck while calling me "bitch boy", I'd put it on my business cards and muddle through for at least a few years.

    Wow ,I didn't know my Starbucks take would resonate.

    While we're at it, a complaint from the lead-up to my wedding...

    "Hi! I'm your Bed, Bath & Beyond personal wedding consultant."

    "Fuck you. You hold a gun and scan shit. I can do that. In fact, I already did it at Macy's, where they gave me the gun."

    I'm done now.

    It's a big building, though I suppose that's misleading. The PATH and like 11 subway lines come into one station. There's a "mall" between the subway and the PATH (one there), another walkway to ANOTHER mall (one there) and then a walkway over the street to another office building (one there). I should have said I can get to three easily from my desk without going outside. Technically they're in two different buildings.

    But yeah, those sumbitches are everywhere.

    In my neck of the woods, the DaVitas are opening everywhere. A CVS recently closed. There is a DaVita going in. There is already a DaVita one mile away.

    Moddy - Order in advance on the app, pick it up at the end of the line. No waiting.

    If you had the "Politics Thread" as the place where DaVita would independently get name-checked twice within a half-hour today, you win. Great odds on that bet, too.
