Moving along

I feel like I haven't scrapped really in ages.
I did stuff for the various places that I am on teams with
but I was really wanting to get in there and scrap something for me.
I did this challenge recently for CMK.

It was a good jumpstart on my mojo!
I've seem to lost it.
Dunno why either....


Training day 2

Yesterday seemed like such a long day.
But I must share with you that the best part about this training is that
it seems so laid back.
Like it's not rushed and they are not trying to shove it down your throats in less than 2 weeks just to open the store.
I think it's a blessing we've got this trainer and it's been a wonderful experience thus far.

Yesterday was spent all day in the store.
We went over a lot of stuff and then actually worked the espresso machine.
Interestingly enough, the training wasn't that hard.
I know that we've got top of the line machines that do a lot of the work for us,
but I just thought it would be hard and well it wasn't all that hard.
I think the challenging part will be when we have to make something the customer
wants that isn't the normal thing we do.
Then it can get tricky.
And of course the rush we are going to have on opening day.
We already have had many people walking in wanting coffee already!

I enjoyed myself though. Having such a great trainer who is laid back
and doesn't expect you to know everything or cram it down our throats in the time frame
we have is really working.
And we are a good team because everyone is helping everyone out.

Although boss had to sit us all down and quiet the whole talking about others thing.
It isn't so much that anyone is being mean, they are just not being very positive and
supportive.
My attitude just changed after I pondered it in the morning and decided to use
the situation for positive.
There is always one in every crowd that ruffles feathers.
But it's what we do with it all that really makes an impact.
And I am all about being different.

So I am not going to be like everyone else and not talk, hang, or socialize with the ruffled
feather employee.
I am going to talk to them and get to know them better.
It is true that not everyone can like you, but you have to respect everyone.
And because I decided this change and to look upon this employee with love,
they day was really nice.

I don't follow the norm. Never have. Never will.
You all are doing one thing, and I'll do another.
Not cause I am not a team player but because I have Jesus inside of me!

I think I drank more coffee than I ever wanted to drink in my life.
I think everyone I work with thinks that I am going to love coffee
and have set out to find the perfect one for me.
However, I am here to share with you guys nawh. Not so much.
I don't care how much you put into it, it still tastes like coffee.
It reminds me of my grandmother! LOL.
Ick.
I eventually had so many sips of coffee I started feeling ill. I am sure
it was cause my body went into shock.
But just cause I don't like coffee doesn't mean I won't try the product.
After all, I am going to be working there.
Although peeps make it easy cause most people know what they want
coming in there.

I learned a lot yesterday.
I made several coffees that I thought were science and it turns out, they are pretty
easy to make.
I like hands on training.

Although one of the employees laughs at me every time I ask a question. I think
that they think that everyone should know coffee. Well...
Ummm. It's probably my like 5th time in a coffee joint, eva.
But I don't care, it makes me ask more because I am there to learn.

Today I hope that you learn something you didn't know too!
