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. |

Notes
Foreshadowing Photo: Correct spelling of my name without actually spelling it to the barista.
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.

Getting-By-Gig: Fifty Cent Power Promotion at Macy’s
In a nutshell…“Because every man who feels good…should smell good” Thank you Fifty, (phonetically pronounced fid-dee by Fifty himself) for the insight. Note to weaning fans: he was definitely digging Asian girls – three numbers in 2 hrs.
What did I do? Title: Bag Girl. I carried adoring fan’s items stored in Macy’s bags while they met Mr. Fifty.
End result? Paid $100… And I’m pretty sure Fiddee looked at me. No number, but there was a definite gaze. However, I met some really cool people from Macy’s and went out to a cute wine bar afterward.
