Today is my first day alone at CWAC and before i start diving in to the work i need to do, i thought id blog about my first few hours here.

READY TO LAUGH?

I got her right at 6:30. counted the safe, and 1st moment of the day. i forgot how to clock in. but i figured it ou.
went to set up the espresso machine and left the water on after rinsing the pull things, thus overflowing the lil water thing. but i didnt realize that was the cause of it. so it kept flowing. i emptied the lil bucket twice before i finally saw the water was still on! well. with the water off, no i had to clean up the huge mess of water on the floor. off to find the mop! im wearing flipflops today. they have no traction. as i mop up the mess im sliding around, one wrong move away from falling on my bum.
i get what i could mopped up. the floor looks nice now :) but its still not dry, still had to prep the drip coffee and actually open the store. i opt to open the store and return to prep the drip.
prepping the drip is difficult to do when you are sliding...but it wasnt bad. just funny.
for the first couple customers i felt like a shake maker on skates must have felt, having to remain balanced as your making drinks is an interesting sight.
a regular customer came in to get his coffee and ended up being the one to walk me through how to turn on the machine... but, even though ben had warned me of this before, i still managed to forget to turn the dial from 1 gallon back to 1/2 gallon...so i made an extremely weak batch of coffee...
then a coffee FANATIC came in and got a latte, TALK ABOUT INTIMIDATING!!! he strolled his way in and ordered the fancy lil drink and i was like, "After this drink, this guy is never coming back again!" He was telling me that he has had coffee from all around the world and knows when its good or not and was telling me all about his business in thailand and his many trip all throughout asia... i hope he liked his Vanilla Hazelnut Latte...

Its been good. just crazy. but now its the normal, yet not so great part of the day when yes, i get to relax, but there's no customers... if anyone has any promo ideas or any idea at all that could help, please let me know or someone from CWAC.
k ive got alot to do. just wanted to say COME VISIT CWAC!!!
