Peet’s Coffee has four pre-approved playlists to choose from. They’re randomized sets on Pandora Internet Radio<\/a>: usually classical music, light rock, or jazz standards — anything considered easy listening and proper for a relaxed coffeehouse atmosphere. One month is plenty to become familiar with the list, but now that it’s my fourth month working here, the songs are turning into earworms<\/a>. Maybe I’ll start getting visits from my ancestors when the Christmas songs make their entrance.<\/p>\n

Today at 6 AM on a Sunday: The Smith’s “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now”.<\/p>\n

Here’s the first verse.<\/p>\n

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
\nBut heaven knows I’m miserable now<\/a>
\nI was looking for a job and then I found a job
\nAnd heaven knows I’m miserable now<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
