Venti Hazelnut Latte, 190 degrees. And I tip every time. I don't think Size and flavor would count as modifiers for me. Those are necessary, right? I work in a seafood restaurant, and it's HARDLY like we're known for our "special coffees". Anyways, when someone orders a coffee with dessert, my reply is "coffee, cappuccino, americano...?" in hopes of getting the upsell....and it always boggles my mind when someone asks for soy milk. Yeah, because we sell maybe 4 special coffees a week, so we're gonna keep SOY milk around for the random 1 in 50 people that ask for it. Sorry, if you knew the restaurant, you'd hardly equate it with "large coffee selection". /rant off

So, Texannie, you know we're all sitting here in a semi-circle, with various coffees and teas in our hands, waiting for the screen to come alive with a photo of you in your interview outfit. And we need to know exactly when that interview is scheduled, hear? We definitely want to see the end of this Texannie short!

Hey Texannie! I hope your interview goes well for you. I am enjoying reading this thread. I will be applying for teaching jobs in 2 years (when I finish my BA Education after degree), but right now I am working as a barrista in my Mom's new coffee shop. I have learned how to make more coffees than I knew existed...Mocha Valencia, Hedgehog, Frappes, etc. I love working at the shop and interacting with customers. I am taking notes on interview outfits... From your Post July 2nd @ 5:39am : "It's funny, she is a smart, vibrant woman who is truly on a mission to bring the classics and great literature to the inner city kids, but she looks like a bimbo." Note to self - Do not look like a bimbo. LOL!!!

Grande decaf skinny latte w/only 1 pump (or 1/4 shot) of sugar free vanilla. YUM! Now that have *my* drink -- can't wait to hear that you got the interview! Oh yes -- and I second the request to see you in your interview outfit so we can all "oooo" and "aaahhhh" appropriately!

Good luck, Texannie!! I have two favorites - Grande nonfat, vanilla latte and Grande nonfat, iced caramel macchiato But, I've had to switch to half-caf or decaf in the last 2 weeks since we found out we're expecting

Congrats Spy! Teachmichiga, & Texannie, the material IS called Slinky. Slinky clothes at the Canadian Home Shopping Channel If you click on an item you like, it shows a bigger picture. And if you click on THAT pic, an even bigger pic appears so you get a really upclose look at the material and the way it falls nicely on the bod.

Spy..fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you and Flyboy. LOL, Serenity, not looking like a bimbo is always good! Seriously, my manager used to be a teacher both inner city and prep and he is constantly amazed at what she wears each day. Now granted, she is adorable and absolutely HOT looking, but not how you picture your typical teacher! what's a hedgehog? Ya'll are too funny. I will see about a picture. It did occur to me that I do have the matching black skirt to that Chico's jacket. My family is going out of town this weekend (going to the inlaws and I am not quite ready to face them or their drinking sober yet!) so I might just go to the mall. Ya'll are the best!

Texannie - A Hedgehog Mocha contains steamed milk, hazelnut syrup, chocolate syrup, espresso shots, and whipped cream topping. They are very delicious. Maybe Starbucks just calls them by a different name.

I have an interview on Wednesday with an agency / design firm. The last thing she told me when we scheduled the interview was that it's a very casual, jeans and T-shirt operation, and to dress appropriately for the situation. Her exact words included "do NOT wear a suit or a blouse." Every single thing I know about job hunting contradicts with her request. Part of me thinks this is round #1 of a secret test. What to do? Comply and show up to the interview in jeans?? Meet them halfway with khakis and a sweater?? I'm so confused.

I would not wear jeans, but I am like you, I feel you need to look somewhat professional. Sooooo, compromise wear khakis and a sweater or a nice shirt. You can look nice without looking too formal. Good Luck!!!

I wouldn't wear khakis though. IMO khakis are pretty much the same as jeans.

It doesn't sound like a secret test to me. It sounds like more of an obvious test to see if you are able to comply. Is this a characteristic that the employer would value?

My workplace is fairly casual. I have about 30 pairs of black pants that I wear (among other colors) Ok, not really 30, but you get the gist. For instance, today I wore black pants with a pair of black lace up boots and a cute, fitted V Neck shirt, not a tee shirt really, but nice for work, but casual enough that I could wear it with jeans. You can't go wrong with a polo style shirt either in a casual situation. Polo and a pair of slacks with decent shoes might be a nice idea. I disagree about the khakis, as long as they are not cargo style, iron them with nice creases and pair them with a nice shirt. You can wear a collared button down shirt and make it casual by folding up and pressing the sleeve at 3/4 length. You can't go wrong with khakis and a white button down shirt or polo. That's what most of our salesmen wear every day and we are a global corporation! Let me know what you decide.

So business casual it sounds like. Twinset top, dress pants, and flats.
