viva la VIA.

The other day marked six months that I've been here. It's finally starting to get chilly! It's been in the 60s mostly these past couple of days. I'm looking forward to the snow! Maybe not so much having my car blocked with it in the morning. We'll see how that goes. Expert at shoveling? Not so much.. If its what I have to do every morning, then I will eventually have it down. :) It's like parallel parking- I would rather not choose to, but if its the only way I'm going to be able to park, I then have no excuse! Just recently I was asked to cover someones shift at another Starbuck's. It was on church street, just a couple of minutes from my store. The shift went well despite how small the store was compared to ours. For parking, the only spot I had was far, and at a meter. I only put about an hour cos I rarely carry change on me. I was planning on walking back eventually during my shift to put more change, but those I worked with said its not a problem after 6p.m. At the end of my shift that night, I called my aunt as I was walking to my car... little creepy, especially at night. I most likely won't be asked to work there again though. It was a one in a time thing.
VIA challenge anyone? Have you done it?! hehe.
I recently saw our commercial during The Office tv breaks the other day. I don't know. I'm not sure if I like it especially since it has brought very arrogant ones into our store! Some people came in saying, "alright lemme try it. I bet I could taste the difference!" kind of in a rude/cocky way, and I'm just like - dude, you are not cool! stop pretending you're the best or something... (I didn't say that, but sure was thinking it!)
The VIA instant coffee is great btw. I've tried it myself and love it!
