So let's see...I haven't written much lately. Anyway, I've been up in South Bend for the past week w/Star Team helping open a new store. I have two days off so I came back home to sleep in my own bed and see my friends. It's kinda boring/lonely being in a town where you don't know anyone, so it's nice to be back here for a couple days. It's been pretty cool in South Bend w/the store though. Damn busy on opening day. I dont think i've ever come home from a shift as tired as I did that day. My brain was fried from coaching/teaching all the new partners. But I like doing it. I wish I could be a member of Star Team longer but I have my panel interview for management may 2nd. That's exciting though! I'll give up my star team membership to move up w/the company. So here's some highlights of my time in South Bend so far:
- MY BIRTHDAY! I turned 23 april 2nd...holla for that! I wasn't expecting much this birthday. HOWEVER i was waaaaay wrong. Even though I had to work 8 hours on my birthday it was pretty awesome --giving the circumstances of where I was and all. No partying this year however. My past two birthdays (21 and 22) where pretty fun out at the bars, however not one drop of alcohol this year. Anyway lets see. My birthday wishes/celebration this year started at 6:30 a.m. when i was awoken to my phone ringing. it was Alexa, Adam, and Beth calling from work to sing happy birthday to me. haha i was half asleep but it was pretty cool. Then at 7:30 Jen sent me a text message saying happy birthday and I just realized now I never thanked her..oops. Thanks for the B-day wishes Jen! Later on in the day Hillary ,Ross, kelly and Alexa (again) sang to me too. Todd missed out on the singing so he called later on to say happy birthday. Adam called me too to see how things were going up there and say happy birthday. I also recieved phone calls that day from two of my best friends, Kelly and Suzanne...yay! Everyone of my family members called me AND they sent me flowers to the store. That made me smile My grandma called... I love my grandma so much : ) ! My aunt in Sweden called too! I was meeting w/ District Manager that day to discuss some things and she had a birthday cake for me that I shared w/everyone at work..and some customers too! One of the members on Star Team even got me a giftcard to Borders. He's a pretty cool guy and Amanda's lucky she gets to work w/him all the time since they work in the same store. So all in all my birthday was pretty awesome. I was hoping that a certain someone in particular would have wished me a happy birthday but oh well it was still great anyway!
- Meeting w/my DM. Let me just say I have an awesome DM. When you talk w/her about our company she's so excited about it, it makes you more excited. Anyway we talked about my future w/starbucks and all the possibilites/oppurtunities I have in the coming months. So it's given me a lot to think about and gotten me super jazzed about everyting. Oh I also got my black apron! woo woo I am a coffee master!
- So yea, about my resemblanc to Janeane Garofalo... TWO more people told me I look at her. One was a girl who works at the store in south bend and another was a customer. They both told me it was cool and a good thing. I just find it so strange that all of a sudden I'm being told this on a regular basis
Well I think that's about it. Life is good. Thanks to everyone who made my birthday great. To my old friends and new... you guys are great!
Peace
