I went to Starbucks today.
I have a close emotional attachment to the brand of Starbucks because back in the day about 10 years ago super Marie, my PA, who has been with me for a long time in various different job roles including trainee dental nurse, senior implant nurse, marketing manager and now back in the most essential role of PA, used to meet at Starbucks at junction 28.
In those days I was starting out Refine Specialist Dental Care and working as a partner in Campbell and Peace before The Campbell Clinic arrived.
Marie would help me organise the madness of my life in the hope that I could build something better and today I find myself driving back from Derby after dropping Callum off on work experience, I passed the Starbucks again.
I shouldn’t buy from Starbucks because they’re another one of the whole massive corporate machines that are chewing up the world and spitting everything out but it’s hard to resist for me.
I’m not drinking coffee and I’m not sure I will again and that’s another story for another blog and so I had two decafe cappuccinos as I wrote a lecture for Friday, organised everything on my multiple to-do lists and sent Slack messages to everybody to help sort things out.
It took me back to days when I was planning my assault on the world and all the big projects that I had, wondering if they would ever come true.
Funny that I found I was doing that again today in Starbucks and wonder if I’ll write a blog 10 years from now about sitting in Starbucks today.
