refreshing life and living refreshed |
In the beginning of 2009, sitting safely and financially secure in my Minneapolis apartment I made a pact with myself. Get out of this city. Get out and explore something - something somewhere, something anywhere, and do it soon. Soon became Sept 30th, a one-way ticket bound for SFO. Join me as I establish a new life, the next chapter of my San Franciscan life. No job, no apartment, no established network. It’s time to start fresh, new; it’s time to be refreshed with life. |

Sign?
…I think so…
After many walk-in application drops, I finally found a consistent part-time job.
Where?
Starbucks.
Besides drinking all the coffee I want during work (plus 30 min before and after my shift) I also get a 30% discount on products at anytime. As a girl who’s caffeinated in love with life, this job is a golden. Plus there’s tons of opportunities to strike up conversation with customers who may own a company or be looking to hire someone with your skill set. Cha ching!
Extra bonus? Starbucks’ medical and dental benefits kick in after 240 hrs (or at least two months working), discounts at other corporations ($19 monthly gym pass vs. $35!), 30% discount on all products when not working, and all the drinks I want during plus 30 min before and after) work.
