tidbits

people from seattle really like to drink their coffee with straws. hot or cold - they'll use a straw and suck it down.
- this confuses me.

people from seattle are overly kind to drug addicts and homeless hecklers. maybe i notice this more because both of my jobs are oddly close to drug hot spots. and maybe i'm more sensitive to this because my time "on the clock" is spent on the phone with 911/non-emergency/detox van/etc. (please keep in mind that these duties were not - and are not - included in either job description.)
- my friend/co-worker adam put it quite nicely: "try to order a lot of complicated cocktails tonight. you don't know what it's like to be a bored bartender in this place. i just sit up here and think of different ways to kill bums."

people from seattle like to tell me how to correctly pronounce wisconsin. apparently, it should sound something like: "whi-scayn-syn".
