The good life

[barista-jeff]

Four days off is such a blessing.

I'm going to go to bed and not move until I have to go back to work again.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

Good! I’m glad to hear that! Trust me, I am getting paid enough. I don’t think you realize how much I get paid, I do get paid a lot still.Of course you can. When would you like to? 

[barista-jeff]

I don't think I want to know. Er..I have a day off Monday, so then?

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

I know its me being cheesy. I am also trying to cheer you up! It is the die hard truth though. I am taking a pay cut for my staff. I have a lot of money as is. Yep, it is my own surgery. It was my uncles practice up until 3 years ago. Yes, it really is easy. You’ve got the job if your interested. 

[barista-jeff]

Well....you're succeeding, a little. You shouldn't take a pay cut Nick, you work your ass off in that place. That's pretty cool though. Can I just take a trial shift and see how it goes?

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

Yes, nothing will ever change that. Best friends, I like being friends with you :) You can change your own destiny, Jeff. That is how much I pay my others. All you would have to do is take calls, schedule appointments and take payments basically. You don’t have to have experience at all. I think you would be much happier here. 

[barista-jeff]

Good. I like being friends with you too Nicky. Now you sound cheesy, and like you're in Brave. Seriously? You pay a good wage Nick. Is it your own surgery or whatever? That sounds...it sounds pretty easy..

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

Sorry Jeff… I just can’t stand seeing you like this. We were best friends but then your accident. Your life has sooo much potential. You only live once after all. Would you like to work for me? Be a receptionist or something. It is an easy job. You’ll get paid double what you do now. ;)

[barista-jeff]

We're still best friends though, right? The accident never changed that...I thought so anyway. What potential? Yeah...but maybe this is it for me. Nick....you can't do that, you can't offer me that much money to work as a receptionist... I've never even done anything like that before.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

Jeff, please. Believe me. There are more jobs than you thing out there. You have been to Starbucks for several years. Don’t they hand out scholarships? But  truth is there are jobs out there that you don’t even need to go to school for. You were pretty smart, don’t say that. Wasn’t your SAT scores a few points lower than mine? 

Yep! 

[barista-jeff]

Nick just please...don't. They don't just hand out scholarships like they're nothing. Yeah, jobs as shitty as Starbucks. Quite a few points lower, if I remember right.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

Yeah, I was a even more busy guy. How did I survive it? Let’s end that. We will see each other at least once a week. Jeff, I will not accept it! Do you REALLY wanna make coffee drinks for the same people until when you are in your 70’s? I wouldn’t. 

Don’t settle, you are a smart guy. And there is a higher paying job for you, one with more benefits than free coffee. 

Jeff, have I ever NOT been sure? ;)

[barista-jeff]

I'm not quite sure. I would never have survived, that's certain. That sounds like a good deal. Well..no. I've had enough of making coffee to be quite honest. I'm not a smart guy, I didn't even go to college. I'm not sure what else there is.

You haven't, that's true.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

I just hate seeing my best friend like this, you know. I wasn’t there for a while since I was still in school. A lot, too much time has passed. But I know that there is something that you can do. You will find your happy self deep down in your soul. 

No, no. You will not have to pay. Just go to lunch with me and we will be even.

[barista-jeff]

Yeah, I know. It's okay, you were busy getting your degree and everything. So much..I haven't really seen you properly for...a long time. Yeah, I can be a barista.

If you're sure...

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

I want you to think of something we did together back at Dalton. You were so talented at it too. I know your dancing dream is over, but you can still help teach it. You were go good at helping me with dances. 

I am a busy guy, dude. You are always more than welcome to visit me. Maybe even get a cleaning one day. We are like 2 minutes away from each other. Not long at all. 

[barista-jeff]

I can't dance Nick. I can't even teach it anymore. I can't dance well enough these days to be able to teach it, I always taught with demonstration. Face it, my dancing days are long gone.

Thanks man. I'll have to book in for one sometime when I've got the cash.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

Okay then, why don’t you quit? There are several community colleges and trade schools in the area. I doubt you want to be a barista your whole life, you still have time to find your new destiny. 

Let’s go out for lunch? I have a longer lunch today. I miss my Jeffy.

[barista-jeff]

What would I do Nick? More to the point, how would I afford to go back to school? I don't have any other talents really, at least nothing I want to do. Being a barista is all I can do now.

Lunch sounds nice though. I miss you too, you always seem to be working when I'm not.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

[dr-nickduval-deactivated2015102]

The Jeff Sterling I know would not think that. C’mon man. 

[barista-jeff]

The Jeff Sterling you knew didn't have to deal with dickheads everyday.

[barista-jeff]

Days off are the nicest.

I can just stay in bed all day. It's not like I'd have anything else to do.

[barista-jeff]

I fucking hate people so much.

[hunterclaringtonslifeblog]

That doesn’t sound good. What do you do?

[barista-jeff]

I'm a barista.

[barista-jeff]

I fucking hate people so much.

[sugarxoxmotta]

Nice to meet you Jeff.

[barista-jeff]

Nice to meet you too!

[barista-jeff]

I fucking hate people so much.

[clarkxxkentx]

What I’m sorry to hear that people are like treating you like crap

[barista-jeff]

[barista-jeff]

[sugarxoxmotta]

Cool. I’m Sugar by the way.

[barista-jeff]

Pretty name for a pretty flower. I'm Jeff

[barista-jeff]

I fucking hate people so much.

[sebastian-smythe-md]

Hey don’t think like that.

[barista-jeff]

What else am I supposed to think?
