WOW, June has been a huge birthday month at VIVO.

I had birthday cake everywhere. It seems most of the VIVO team AND customers are Geminis.  Some have aged gracefully, some have not. Lust & Latte also had its birthday along with Krusty, Stip, & Hot Mama.

A special mention to Mr Large Skim Flat White no sugar – ‘cause he is sweet enough!  Happy 50^th.  He travels with his twin Mr Large Skim Cap 2 sugars. There may be something inappropriate there that could require disciplinary action in the future. Have to get back to you on that.

SO YOU WANT TO BE A POLE DANCER….

This is me trying to be nice; when Weak White Tea informed us of her new “hobby”, my first instinct was to say STRIPPER! But since I am on probation, I wouldn’t dream of expressing such a term to her face. And when she said “you won’t believe how many muscles you use as you wrap yourself around the pole”, again I refrained from making any comment and politely smiled and nodded. TOO MUCH INFORMATION PEOPLE!

VIVO SALUTES NRMA TEAM WHO SUPPORT VARIETY THE CHILDREN’S CHARITY

On a serious note – yes I can be serious occasionally, we want to congratulate the team at NRMA who give up a lot of their time to raise money for Variety.They are entering The NSW Variety Bash drive again this year. It’s not a race or rally but a drive in the outback. They have parked the car in front of VIVO Café 388 George St and stood in the freezing cold to sell raffle tickets. So if any of you want to buy some tickets and have a chance to win some awesome prizes (tickets are $5 each) and support the kids, contact Lust & Latte and we will deliver them to you. We don’t want you to get cold.

WHICH BANK?

I think we should start ordering for you. It’s not sexist, but some drinks are for girls and some drinks are for boys. And then there are those who are a wee bit confused. Nice boys, cute toushies but shame about the beverages.

HOSTAGE ON DELIVERY 917

When our star delivery man for VIVO Corporate Catering – Stip, was taken hostage recently, I was not amused. A very worried young receptionist rang us and said about 20 more people turned up for lunch than originally planned, and she wasn’t letting him go until we promised to send more food. What did I say? PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON & BACK AWAY FROM MY BOY! (PS, of course we sent more food, but I suspect Stip enjoyed the “situation”)

SHATTERED DREAMS

He strode into the café, confident and strong. His deep blue eyes sparkled as he asked where he could sit. His muscles rippled beneath his tight fitting shirt. He smiled. We stared. The race to take his order began. There could be only 1 winner. The rest of us hovered. Then he ordered; “can I have a decaf weak latte with chocolate on top?” Nooooooo, I wanted to scream. My dreams were dissolving fast, replaced by horror and disappointment. Mother Nature was playing a cruel joke. Did I mention he was American…..?

Until next time we exchange information between smart and sophisticated people,

here’s to a good dose of Lust & a strong Latte.
