A friend of mine sent me this little toy for fun. For a split second we took it seriously and then it just split our sides! You can personalize it and send it to others…friends and family (or foe?). Trouble is, you have to watch it first. I couldn’t resist putting up a post and sharing this just as he did. Enjoy…

With the news broadcasting in another room this morning I heard just a snippet of this surprising (to me) information. The first thing that came to mind was the fact that “Starbucks” has become an institution of sorts to millions of people as consumers, but more importantly, how many jobs would this cost?
I decided that I would get the full story tonight at katu, the news channel I was listening to. Sure enough…it’s true. We all hear of lay-offs and downsizing, so why did this stand out to me? Because of who it is which suggests the enormity of the problem.
Personally, I have never visited one of their establishments, always thinking of them as being Seattle, so news of them would not normally catch my attention. It was the what now that did. This is scary stuff.
The economy has got to be on almost everyone’s mind, but this is an extra jolt. Countless families have been in the lay-off situation, mine included, so the empathy for these people goes without saying today.
The almighty Starbucks? If they are doing the cut-backs, who else is next, and what can we do about this? When will this ever stop?
Rest of the story… from the Associated Press
