Too much coffee

Today is one of those days where you come to realization that are very certain things that I do not want to do with my life.  

1) Have any sort of job where I have to please a client.  I have overheard the conversation of two separate web designers who have been sitting with their respective clients, and they are obnoxious.  Everything The Oatmeal says here sounds true. 

2) Be a personal assistant to an actor.  I was standing behind the personal assistant of some random actress today at a Starbucks.  How did I know this? The personal assistant ordered an obscure drink, 4 shots of espresso, half coffee and half milk in a tall cup.  Every employee was completely confused because they realized that this is a ridiculous order to have in a tall cup because a part plus half plus half does not equal a full tall.  The personal assistant just had to keep insisting this was the case and then ended the order with "actresses, what are you going to do?". Not that job my friend, not that.

Sure there are more out there, but I haven't been able to eavesdrop on them today.
