It’s not that I’ve become a coffee snob or anything, but I have gotten in the habit of hitting Starbucks on a mostly daily basis. Here’s why:
- Free Internet! When you’re living in a house that gets 384kbs you must get out and find a faster on ramp to the Internet superhighway.
- space to think: i’ve discovered that it’s far easier to think amongst the white noise of Starbucks than it is inside our house with 4 little kids.
- free refills! I’m somewhat sad to admit but I am now “Gold” at Starbucks based on my frequency. That means that I get free refills on their drip coffee (which is what I always get).
So I can come and nurse several cups of coffee while steaming along on a fast and free wireless network for hours at a time! Greatness.
When you go back to Ireland, can I have your Starbucks Gold Card?
