no beans about it

Today I learned that my position, and those of some friends, at the Starbucks Support Center in Seattle had been eliminated. I'm disappointed that I won't be getting up in the morning to join with my Starbucks "Partners" in the pursuit of customer satisfaction. I worked with some really great folks - passionate, creative, supportive, tireless. Perhaps our trails will cross again in the future. In the meantime, I'll get Jessica off to college, support my wife in her job search, and see if I can find someone who needs a real geek.
