This ring: how much coffee could I have bought with this ring?!

It is always kind of strange to have a routine disrupted.

Then again, as a former Peetnik, my biggest problem with people saying tall is that some people didn't mean small, they really meant large. Same thing with grande. At least with Venti, they could only mean one thing, but only it's such a rediculous word to begin with... Starbucks' three words that just mean 'big' to describe three very different sizes has thrown the world off kilter.

I never minded that it was because they were Starbucks terms, it just becomes a problem when so many people can't accurately describe what it is they want. My gripe was (and generally is) with society at large. Or venti.

*steps off soapbox*

But again, it sucks to have a routine disrupted like that. I'm sure you'll come up with something.
