No Longer Just Certifiable.

Today was fun and interesting...in a not-genuine-but-not-quite-sarcastic-either kind of way.

I got up on time only because I'm neurotic about time. My alarm was set for 9, I was waking up and checking my phone every 15 or so minutes from 8:30 on. I was surprised to see that it was 9:05 the last time I checked, then realized that I had never taken my phone off vibrate after leaving work yesterday, so I hadn't hear it go off at 9. Whups!

Got fairly lost on my way to the Goshen store for my class, but got myself unlost at a fairly good pace. As usual, I second-guessed myself right into a wrong turn, getting off the bypass an exit too soon, only discovering this when I took the correct route back home.

The class wasn't bad at all, actually. The only other "student" was the Ironwood SM, who has also been at the company about three months. The class was mostly taught by the Goshen SM and the Main SM. It was mostly watching videos and discussing corporate principles and missions, with some coffee and pastry tasting sprinkled in. I got a Green Apron book (little booklet outlining partner goals and such) and a Tea Passport (akin to the Coffee Passport, where you jot down notes and get a stamp for each coffee you taste, except--surprise!--it's for tea), and I should be getting a special pin in the next few weeks to show that I'm certified.

Um...yay! I guess!

We got out an hour and a half early, I got to drive home in pounding rain, and spent the rest of the day chatting to Chris and poking around online, in my pajamas, while eating way too much edamame.

Tomorrow is work, and Friday is off. I am looking forward to Friday, and even to a "normal" work day tomorrow. I prefer making drinks and serving customers to all other aspects of my job, and am hoping it's a day full of just that. :)
