I walk in on two Starbucks baristas (one of them my ultimate favorite human service drone person lady), mid-conversation:

“Come on, Dana! Take it and run with it!”

“I guess…”

“No, do it! Own it!”

They look at me and smile. I jump in: “Yeah! Own it!”

“Yeah Dana!”

“Own that thing!” I continue,”Become this thing! Take it by… the throat! Slam it into …the counter! Yes! slam it into the counter a couple times!” I motion this as my eyes flash, “And then find a bucket and push it’s head under the water!! Watch and savour EVERY bubble that comes out!!”

“Wow.”

We all look at each other.

“My usual please.”

I’ve been watching too much Evangelion.
