Today was my last day working at Starbucks (T___T). The last thing I did was to have a review with my manager -- I got top scores, w00t! It was a series of saying goodbye to co-workers and customers the past few days. I think I'm going to curl up in my bed and mope now ( Read more... )

So it definitely didn't go as ( Read more... )

I went to sleep late last night and knew I was going to have a long day ahead of me, so when I left Starbucks this morning, I took with me a Quad Venti Nonfat Two-Pump No Whip Mocha.

Now I'm bouncing in my chair.

I learned how to make Frappuccinos! My first one looked awful -- the whipped cream flew out everywhere and I couldn't put a lid on -- but it tasted fine. It wasn't hard, but I'm sure come tomorrow I'll forget everything and will need to look at the cheat sheets posted on the wall for a step-by-step refresher course ( Read more... )
