Ladies and gentleman I am proud to announce I am currently employed! It’s my first real job and it's at a Starbucks no less! Where I get to prance about in a cute apron while taking in the scent of free trade Columbian!

It was my first day last Friday at 8. I should probably mention that I was out the night before at this little place on St.Laurent with a friend until 1 and that when I got to bed it was around 2:30 in the morning. Needless to say this is not the smartest thing I have ever done.

Surprisingly I made it there early using some not so chic public transportation, and let's just say it was all part of Baby Jebus' divine sense of mercy that I work at a place that sells caffeine because frankly I felt myself mere minutes away from knock knock knocking on heaven's door.

Oh but it's not all fun and games for this working girl. It's hard work this coffee business! I have to practically decode the customer's order. Then I have to put it in Decaf/Shots/Size/Syrup/Milk/Custom/Drink form ie: Decaf/Quad/Venti/Vanilla/Nonfat/Extra whip/Mocha, which when said fast sounds a lot like a hip new version of Latin.

My first day could have gone worse. I didn't spill hot boiling coffee on anyone and no one spilled it on me so I suppose I really should be grateful but truth be told I think that I may be too ditzy and accident prone to really be Starbucks material in the long run. But who knows? Maybe I'm just what the caffeine addicted public ordered?

Is it too late in the entry to mention that there is a cute boy involved?

What am I saying--? Is it ever too late in the entry to mention that there is a cute involved?

His name is Damien and he's new just like yours truly but he's sooooo soooo sooo much better at the whole employment thing than me it's at least four kinds of ridiculous. He's like some sort of Starbucks God. Really I am in awe.

And he seems so shy and conservative! Which aren't words I have ever gotten to use to describe a member of the opposite sex before! He's really quite endearing. It really is too bad that I like jerks, because Damien seems like a very nice guy. Did I mention he's cute?

Oh well.

Anyway with this job I am one step closer to becoming fabulous! The plan is to save up, so most people would be hoping their will power would keep them going for 5 weeks without making any major purchases. Me-I'm just hoping i have will power to begin with.
