I <3 the barista au

The newest hire at the coffee shop is an adorably beautiful dude who looks like a younger Neal Caffrey with a Superman curl on his forehead, so let's call him Clark for future reference, since I will probably talk about him again! An excerpt of the conversation we had today after I clocked out:

ME. You know the show White Collar?
HIM. Yes!
ME. You look a bit like the guy who plays Neal Caffrey.
HIM. [lighting up] That's such a flattering thing to say! He's gorgeous! What's his name again?
ME. Matt Bomer.
HIM. Right! You know he's gay?
ME. Yep.
HIM. And I think he's married, but I might still have a chance with him!
ME. Do you want a chance with him?
HIM. Oh yeah.
US. [queer solidarity fistbump]

CLARK CAN WE PLEASE BE FRIENDS.

Seriously, though, work: doesn't feel very long, only mildly stressful sometimes, despite the early days I have decent amounts of energy afterwards and am getting so much done, and on the whole my coworkers are a delight. Pleased.

I am so pleased! I hope I have many shifts with not-Neal Clark. :D

Yay I am glad your job is working out so well for you! :D

It is surprisingly great! Like, it is not something I think I'd want to do long-term, but for now it is a bit delightful. :D

I gotta get up early enough to swing by the coffee shop before work at some point. :P I'M GLAD IT'S AWESOME.

DO THIS. You may or may not see me depending on what they have me doing that morning, but seriously -- Tuesday through Friday I'm there from opening, so I'll definitely be about. :D

This is, like, the cutest thing I've read all weekend. And I say this having been recently inundated with cute. :D
