Day 55
Monday, October 30, 2006
Today was my first official day as manager of Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea Company (BFC&T, "bifcat" to some). All I can say: wow!
Since I have yet to move to College Hill, I got up early (well, earlier). I like this, and I hope to get up earlier each day for the next few weeks; this will not only prepare me for getting into the coffee shop around 5 a.m. when we are open, but it also gets me up early so I can get ready to type the NaNoWriMo challenge in a few days. Exciting!
I spent a good portion of the day working on the employee handbook. I'm not done with it yet, and it will undoubtedly need some revision, but that still took up a good chunk of time. I also helped Bethany with phone-number hunting, and then we went to a local gardening center/greenhouse to buy some shrubs for the outside of the shope. We'll probably work on landscaping later this week, which will rock.
I even ate lunch at Sub Palace. I haven't had a sub from that place in at least two years. Boy, do I miss eating there.
It's very different from any other job I've had. I know in a few weeks, when we're open, I'll be handing hot cups of addictive liquids to people. I can't wait for it! But until then, I'm enjoying the change of pace; this is very different from the retail experience I've built up over the last eight years, and I don't mind that one bit.

you made me really hungry for sub palace... o well i guess my cereal will have to do as a replacement for now.
I'm glad to hear that things are moving along. I'm sure these next few days will be pretty crazy and draining, but rewarding.
I just am excited that this is really happening...you'll love a local coffee shop a lot more than a franchised one! -
