Why Yes, I DO Still Love My job!

Today is my 3-month anniversary of being a Starbucks barista. Woo hoo! I love it as much today as when I started, if not more. I work with amazing people, especially Molly, above. She is one of my shift managers and just rocks. We have the best time at work. The customers are wonderful, the work is fun, there's very little stress, our boss is terrific, and ... I am HAPPY.

At WORK.

Imagine that!

They say things happen for a reason. As tough as losing my job was, it was worth it to find something I enjoy this much. Things do happen for a reason.
