I've found out how to be a successful manager or assistant manager of a small business. The secret is to stop giving a rat's ass about the needs of your customers and just worry about what's most important for your company, your employees, and yourself, preferably in that order. I had to put the smack down on the bunch of middle school kids who come...

It has been INSANE this week at the coffee shop. Does the city of Salem really want this much coffee? And no wonder America is overweight with the amount of pie this town consumes. How much cheese cake can a single human being intake before he or she explodes? Sheesh. As long as they're paying my salary and the salaries of everyone else there I'm...

Wow, it's been a while since I posted. I've really been focusing my time on the shop and trying to hone my abilities, so pretty much everything else has taken a back seat for a while. Sorry if people have been posting journals in the past nearly-two weeks. I haven't been around to read them.
Yesterday a friend of mine hosted a 24-hour movie party....

Rough night, and morning so far. That's all I can say. Though April personally thanked me for the comment I made on her set, so it's not a total wash.

sorry about your rough a.m....maybe this will cheer you up!
your sign..Hearth
direction..west--accent on feelings, emotions, and relationships; on personal matters of security.
symbol..fire in a pit in the center
color..velvet black
stone..garnet
element..earth
flower..indian blanket
herb..wild ginger (heartleaf)
"hearth is the roots of the Tree of Life--the Caldera of the True Believer, a beacon to the weary traveler. this is a person who, in the all enveloping nothingness of night, and remembers that light and life are not dead."
a centered person with a strong territorial instinct, who draws specific boundary lines--mental, physical, and emotional. this is a sign whose origins are in the heart of the mountain, who never particularly cared for what was on the other side...not a traveller. they are very organized and labor patiently, are excellent leaders and have subtle ways of exerting power. these people love history and tradition. Hearth signs show respect for thier parents, ancestors, and history in general. they have a deep-seated passion for ritual, and often make history themselves. "persons of this sign are usually the center, the core, the very pulse of the people."
enjoy..take care!

So tomorrow is the first day of classes for Roanoke College, and of course we figured we'd have an onslaught of loud and chatty sorority girls returning from winter break to inundate the coffee shop tonight. Of course not! Instead we have ten families come in around 5:00, spend fifteen minutes a pop ordering their crap, spending thirty bucks, and not tipping us anything. And...

eegads!! sounds like a bad night!! i have to agree that the general public are complete morons most of the time. and i came to this conclusion after working in the restaurant business. i can sympathize with you tho...a bad night in a restaurant is a really bad night.
can you post a sign that your employees work for tips?
i worked in a coffee shop in santa fe, nm. i kinda miss it. we had fun. it was just drinks, no food...so not as much hassle.
take care!
