Hello, Starbucks.

Wasaaaaabi.

Once again, it’s been some time hasn’t it?

Mostly due to me going out almost every single day, pulling all nighters then sleeping all day.

Cos I’m cool like dat.

Well anyhoo, my mom managed to get be a job in Starbucks in Pyramid because she has ‘connections’ and so I was employed as a part time casual worker.

What I expected to be doing (because I was told this) was to be cleaning up the cafe – like doing dishes, clearing the mugs/cups, sweeping.

And stuff of that sort.

Today was my first day at work (excite!) and the first thing I learnt was how to make a Mocha Frappucino.

Su Ann (my boss) exploded with information on how to do this and that and being me, I only managed to pick up half of what she said.

Eventually I got the hang of things. Met some nice nice people who taught me how to do more stuff (make more drinks).

At first I was kinda bummed out about not being a barista but I ended up spending half of my shift (which is 7 hours long) making drinksies (:

It was fun, and tiring.

Su Ann’s number one rule is to never not do anything. So my ‘colleagues’ (I have colleagues now!) told me that if I had nothing to do then I should pretend to wipe some tables.

I even resorted to arranging the mugs and stuff that were on display because she assigned be to 1 hour of ‘Cafe duty’ – aka clean up the cafe.

So I roughly know how to make most of the drinks with the guidance of some very nice people.

But it’s been a long long long day of standing,walking around and blending frappes.

Ai shood goe tu bed soon.

I think I’ve declared myself an insomniac. Well, partially.

Rolled around and around in bed for about an hour and a half until I decided to put on Ingrid Michaelson to sing me to sleep.

And work it did. I shall do the same tonight.

Oh and if I haven’t told you yet, Justin lent me his USB mic for a day and I recorded two thingies – a cover of another K-Pop song aaaanddd ‘Put My Friends In A Blender’!!

Hoorahh cakes. I’ll put up the lyrics in the next post I guess with the recordingding.

Tomorrow’s shift – 10am to 6pm. Visit me! (but there’s a chance I might be somewhere in the back doing the dishes)

Good night to you, you, and you.
