Time Flies

Once again I am starting my blog by realising that it has been over three days since the last update. I have now changed stores to what is known as Deansgate 2. After two shifts I'm beginning to think that I really like it a lot better. Apart from the slight hitch that my shift leader with the keys was 20 minutes late this morning. People you should try it- stand outside a Caffe Nero at 6.30am in the rain- the looks you get are hilarious. I'm sure everyone was thinking: "now that girl is a true coffee addict" Mind no-one came to enlighten me of the fact that it doesn't open until 7am! By the time I got the buddy keys from another store and a float and the alarm code (not that I would have known where the alarm is!) Joe had arrived. A rather stressful start to the day, but in some ways really good fun.
We get lots of business men in the store which is quite hilarious. The thought crossed my mind tonight that I am probably one of the highest educated Baristas around. I bet some of them think of us as 'just coffee shop employees'. I don't mind at all, it's kind a fun, almost like having a secret identity, any moment now I can reveal that I have a University Degree and I'm doing this job because I love serving coffee, and the feeling of constantly finishing tasks. It's brilliant. No ongoing projects, just open the store, serve people, close store. So me, it's great.

Ok that was a bit of a brain splurge not really an update of what I have been up to. Saturday I went to the stables before my shift and then Sally D and I went for a drink afterwards in Chorlton. And then went home and chatted, laughed and drunk some wine. I did an open shift on Sunday. Sunday afternoon was spent pretending that it was summer (the sun was out!!!) and a lovely lunch with Craig. And then back to his for a DVD. Crash- only got to watch halve of it because of a scratched DVD. So no-one tell me the ending or the middle!!!
Monday morning was really good fun. Blue came to the stables with me in his new Dryazabone wax jacket. Dead cute. And even cuter was him trying to catch Snowflakes as they were falling. Kate wasn't so keen on him but he is getting rather intrigued by her.
Last night didn't do much apart from go to bed early. Another open for me tomorrow. The fun the fun. Off to Canada on the weekend, trez exciting.
