It’s a slow, tiresome Monday, so as I approach my 9th year as a Davis Square resident I have some confessions. These are "confessions" because these things make me feel like the bitch I am! My list goes to 11.

Do you have any confessions? Perhaps later in the week I’ll feel perky and refreshed and post my top 11 loves -though it will be hard to think of only 11.

1. I’ve been secretly rooting for Kick Ass Cupcakes to fail, and I’m boggled that they still survive.
2. While I like McIntyre and Moore in theory, I never use them and won’t miss them.
3. I hate Mike’s, its terrible – even with the cheap beer, I don't get the popularity of this institution - I liked it better when they were crappier inside with the old signs.
4. Chipotle has won my burrito bowl dollars, I never would have seen that coming Anna’s! Anna Anna, please forgive me!
5. While I love Deisel, I’m going less and less now that the same 5 crazy people rotate ownership of the good chairs/couches and NEVER leave.
6. I don’t miss Someday Cafe, I liked it in theory, but it was a dirty filth hole.
7. I don’t miss the junkies in front of share group on Dover St (not that all of them were junkies), but I do miss the times they would interact with the Mormons.
8. I really don’t want to see Sacco’s close, but yet I never give them any business, and I was opposed to the Community Connections Center for no other reason than I thought it was a dumb name.
9. As fiercly opposed as I was to CVS opening, I now shop there all the time.
10. I want all bars except Joshua Tree to get a 2am permit!
11. Even though it’s a lame joke I still find it funny that Store 24 is not open 24 hours, and that Bread and Butter Konvience is, but has  a weird name.

Share Group was a shit place to work and I'm not sorry it's out of the Square, though I am sorry for all the people who were still working there and had to make new arrangements after the move. Never noticed a junkie issue, I just did not enjoy the atmosphere, the work or many of the other people who worked there, to be honest. And I did NOT appreciate the impossible goals set before we got paid more than 7.50 an hour, nor the fact that some of our 'clients' had us blatantly lying to prospective donors and the company was perfectly cool with that (which I found out through independent research toward the end of my tenure; the Humane Society of the United States was a particularly bad offender in that regard).

Ugh. That concludes my Share Group rant. It looked pretty good from the outside, but it was full of shit once you got beneath the surface, IMO.
