    Crossfingers I have an interview tomorrow!

    I ended up losing my internship because, due to a mutual agreement between myself, my supervisor and my adviser, it was determined that the work I was doing there was better suited for a Marketing major, not a Graphic Design major. So this week is my last week at my internship.

    I had about a week's notice for this, so I put in apps all over the place. Today I stopped by a Starbucks that I had put in an app for some coffee before I headed in to work and just casually asked the manager "Did you happen to see my application by any chance?"

    He responded "I did, but your availability isn't what I'm looking for at this store... we're looking for a morning shifter." I said thanks anyway, grabbed my coffee and muffin and headed to work.

    Well, at the office today I get a phone call from that same manager saying "Hello? Hi, this is the manager at Starbucks. I looked at your app again and it looks like your schedule would fit for our Northwest location. Can you come in tomorrow for an interview?"

    EEEE I'm so excited. I LOVE coffee (even SB coffee), Starbucks is a great company to work for, and the perks are great! 30% in-store merchandise, free drinks while I'm on the clock, and I get a free 1lb bag of coffee every week if I get hired!

    Wish me luck, ladies!

    I wish I could still dance but dancing and school just doesn't work for me.

    I even told my Starbucks manager that I danced during the summer and she didn't care. She just said to not talk about it with coworkers or customers.

    I do get kickass perks from working there, too.

    1) 30% off any merchandise.
    2) Free drinks while I'm on the clock
    3) Free 1lb bag of coffee to take home every week.

    Personally I like Starbucks coffee. When you brew it at home with your own measurements and with your own machine, it's really good stuff. Haters can go sulk in a corner somewhere .

    beware about drinking lots of their coffee-- especially if you drink their desert ones... i.e. frappacinos etc. they have ridiculous amounts of calories and will make you fat. black coffee is fine (as in it wont make you gain weight), but most things at starbucks are not good for your health.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I only get a Frap like once in a blue moon. I only drink coffee black, and I love love LOVE Cafe Americanos. And I never put cream or sugar in them either.

    Awesome!!! Congrats! Company perks are GREAT. I may try for Sephora myself, just a couple days a week for the free loot and perks.
