Ah. A Saturday night, rocking out on my own, eating Thai food, watching True Blood and reading Tina Fey's new book. You know it's a good book when the first chapter already makes you laugh out loud. And while, granted, I laugh out loud at my own jokes a lot, when I watch or read something funny, it takes a lot to make me actually lol. Rofling is another story. FTFM.
This week has been really full-on. Learning is really exhausting, especially the full-on training i've had this week. It's amazing what effort goes into each coffee, each dose, each tamp. You have to think about EVERYTHING, your stance, posture, the way you hold it, the way you dose, the way you settle it, the way you tamp, the way you click, the way you twist it, the level, the pressure, the cleaning...and this is all before you've even put in in the machine! Not to even add in the setting the grind. It's meant that i've had little energy this week, learning all of this, as well as setting up, cleaning down (they clean like nowhere else i've been...it's awesome, but feels like i'm in the Army or something) and doing usual cafe management stuff. Phewf! It's meant that I cancelled my plans...and I actually had plans this week. Good ones at that!
So tomorrow, I plan to get my energy back and prepare for next week, where i'll be a bariSTAR.
I'm feeling good lately. Been writing a lot, poetry, music, songs, it's been good for me. Think I overdid things in NZ, always seeing people and keeping busy, it's so nice to not have so many obligations and to take it easy. I'm grateful for the opportunities I have.
