Princess Hon, If you came into one of my trainings and shared just a bit of your wisdom, I would be even more grateful than that one time when you lent me your antibiotics for a urinary tract infection!
P.S. I need to know what videos and books to check out... I think this whole coffee thing might be something I want to do with my life... no joke... I want to know what IM getting into and not be stupid. I think I fell into some good hands on this one :)
What did you think of that last brown nose comment, Pretty good huh? ;) JK JK JK !!!!!
Hey princess Hon, this is your padawan here... last week was my first week at my gig and I love it. The place is not even built yet! it is awesome. We have one wall out of three up, and the other two are gonna be all-glass windows and what would be a fourth wall is gonna be open into the rest of the store. This coming week they sould put in the counter and booths and the week after that we may have the equipment in along with the regional brand people and start installing everything and, even better, get going with training!
I looked up black gold and they want almost $30 for it, and JCCC has it, but only for viewing within the library :F
Anyways pass my hellos to aunt connie and the rest of the family,

Whoa, I just realized something,

So whats your opinion on the whole Clover and Starbucks situation? I figure the most part... Zander is making the right decision in embrassing the bux because its an open doorway for bux to really get what Coffee is all about.
Things are going great. It was wonderful to meet you too! I've been trying to hunker down and practice for the NERBC. Our cafe has been undergoing some strategic planning, and, that is always stressful but hopeful. Do you have a barista certification program that you use or one you can recommend? I really want to put something into place over this summer before next fall's students arrive.
There is a good chance of me going. If I go, I am volunteering as a station instructor at several of the espresso labs, about 20 hours worth. I think it will help to further rejuvenate the passion, and like you said, that's what it's about. And I really do love training every chance I get. It's so cool to see someone "get it." I should find out in the next day or so.....
