Wish me luck: I'm applying to Starbucks

[WindRavenX]

:woohoo:

I should probably limit myself to half a pot before talking to the manager, shouldn't I? Wouldn't want to look like a hummingbird or anything :P

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. No way - chug 3 pots.

That'll show them you're a true believer in the product!!

[WindRavenX]

4. oo a coffee chugging contest--i am THERE

Hell, sometimes my friends joke I should just have a direct IV of espresso into my veins :D

[Kajsa]

2. Good luck, Wind Raven.

And yes, switch to decaf if you start gnashing your teeth
or pacing the floor!

:hi: :pals:

[WilliamPitt]

3. Which one?

I'll come visit if it works out for ya. ;)

Lucky freakin' you.

[WindRavenX]

5. dude. I'm in Mormon land--I left Boston 2 weeks ago :(

Now I'm surrounded by obscenely nice people instead of Massholes :cry: :cry:

Come visit anyway :P

[WilliamPitt]

6. The Great Salt Lake, eh?

Lovely city, gorgeous mountains, eerily sober populace.

Hm. :)

[WindRavenX]

7. Sunday= ghost town

It's really creepy.

And yes, the mountains are gorgeous--winter especially I'm looking forward to.

Now I just need a job :eyes:

[AllegroRondo]

10. I thought Mormons couldnt have caffeine

makes me wonder how well a Starbucks is doing there.
:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

8. But I don't drug-test.

:P

[WindRavenX]

9. son, i gots bills to pays!

:P

Even if I work at the 'bucks, I can't smoke til I get a REAL job--for fuck's sake I have a degree in science...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. Hope you get it soon.

You must be fiending.

[skygazer]

12. Good luck to you

:hi:

[liberalitch]

13. Remember that simpson's episode in which ahpu's brother had worked so long in the store...

...that he thought he was a humming bird?
just checking.

[WindRavenX]

14. SCORE: I got a part time spot!

:woohoo:

This'll keep me from going batshit insane while I try to find a "real" kick ass job.

All my co-workers are progressive and badass too.

Maybe I've earned a lil' :smoke: tonight

[some guy]

15. Congratulations!

:woohoo:

That will certainly help you as you move into your chosen career field. Less stressed during interviews and such.

:hug:

[WindRavenX]

16. mos def. And I'm not neurotic b/c of all the time on my hands.

Now I can focus on getting certified to teach HS bio this fall :)

[Kajsa]

17. Congratulations, WindRaven!

you're gonna be drinking some damn GOOD coffee, now!

Celebrate your good fortune, tonight!

:party: :toast: :bounce: :toast:

[WindRavenX]

18. free coffee drinks AND a POUND A WEEK of ANY coffee

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And benefits kick in soon too--which is a damn good thing coz I don't have me some insurance :o

[Kajsa]

22. Benefits with Part-time?

That rocks, bigtime!

And the pound of Starbucks coffee/ week ain't bad, either.

Wow- you really did score!

;-)

[WindRavenX]

26. 20 or more hours = full benefits + tuition reimbursement

I know I know...it's a huge evil corporation blah blah blah...but they do a pretty good job of being socially responsible.

[Kajsa]

Are you kidding?

They rock!

;-)

Damn, they actually care about their employees!

[JVS]

19. I wish you so much luck that you won't need to work there!

[matcom]

20. working at a COFFEE shop? in MORMON land?

you rebel you! :rofl:

[WindRavenX]

21. all my coworkers are gay and progressive

We're gonna have fun :evilgrin:

Yeah...the first week has been weird as fuck here. I'm lilly white, and even the whiteness of this place is unnerving! :rofl:

[matcom]

23. keep us up to date on your adventure

oh and if you want to make some REAL money, get a job at Squatters downtown (brew pub). Mrs Matcom and I both worked there in the 90's and made some SERIOUS $$

good luck! don't try on the funny underwear. it'll change you quick :D

[WindRavenX]

24. I'll keep that in mind

Student loans don't kick in for a few months, so that buys me some time to either find a biotech job or an education job--I've never done restaurant jobs, though. Working in the dinning halls for work study the past 4 years was bad enough :scared:

[matcom]

25. $200/night?

interested now?

[WindRavenX]

27. ::pulls up a chair::

I'm all ears ;)

I have big boobs too--so I bet I'd make some extra in tips too :evilgrin:

[matcom]

28. that's what is was back in the 90's

Squatters is an oasis in the Mormon dessert. IF it is still there, it is a brew pub of the finest quality. they make all their own brew on premisis, food is (was) kick-ass, ALL progressives working there.

it is the 'hot spot' (sorry, WAS when we were there) for all the 'cool' celebs in town.

might have changed but if it hasn't......

[matcom]

30. your OTHER best bet is Park City

Get a job up there at LEAST for the winter. 40 minute drive up the canyon. if you can get in at Deer Valley resort you are gold for life. but even a bar job on Main Street will net you some SERIOUS cash during peak season

[graywarrior]

29. LOL!

Good luck!!!1
