| | So what do you think? Is my blog easier to read now? It looks like a newspaper hey? hehe
I'm seriously getting quite bored with my blog layout already but I
seriously don't have the time and dedication to edit it and play around
with it. Maybe soon... when I get a really good picture to put as my
background  .
So yeah, major changes are happening in my life in Sydney at the
moment; now that I've got a job and all. Already I had to move my
classes around to fit my training schedule. Hopefully they'll not do
that for the actual shifts.
Starbucks is the top 20 employers to work for in the world. Rubbing
shoulders with Donald Trump's CBS and the rest; info from Fortune
magazine. And it shows in their training sessions. We are never called
employees, only partners. We are taught (brainwashed) to be morally
sound and nice people to other 'partners' and customers also.
We tasted 6 different coffees in a space of 4 hours. At the end of that
particular session, everyone was smiling, bouncing around, yellow teeth
and all... haha nah, the last bit was thought up. It was very
intricate, it was like wine tasting... My fave session by far.
Anyway, it was really cool. The training sessions are really fun and
informal (maybe cause I was there? ) and everyone's pretty much
local; which cuts out all the bullcrap questions like, "So, where are
you from?". I hate that question... but if people come up to you with
an accent, you have no choice but to launch that ugly, ugly question...
Right? Right? Right? bleah!
So yeah, tomorrow's another 6 hour training session with the same group
of people. The title of the session is "Simply Service". Flashes of
'employees' getting fired over their blog come to mind... . But
at StarBucks, "...our stores are our billboards and our partners, the
media..."
God bless!

I'm a quiet, reclusive, person... when I'm sleeping. When I'm awake, I'm down-to-earth and friendly but picky at the same time. Don't worry, you'll know when I dislike you.
