Today it was made official - I got a promotion! I am now a shift supervisor at my Starbucks! I’ve been with the company for nine months (as of yesterday), and now I am a member of the management team. Not bad for my first “real” job!
I am super excited about this. I love my job. Every good thing that you’ve heard about Starbucks as an employer is true. I get warm fuzzies when I think about my Starbucks family. And yes, this is cheesy and cliche, but I don’t care. I truly do love working for this company.
So yeah, that’s my big news for the day! Now off to go and enjoy a tasty beverage ;-)!
OK, you might be asking where I’ve been all week. Things have been a bit crazy.
A co-worker of mine was diagnosed with lung cancer this past spring. She has had a very difficult treatment period, and I (along with 3 or 4 others) have been coordinating meals for the family, getting the word out about her progress, etc.
On October 12 Charmaine was taken to hospice, and she passed away around 10:30 Saturday morning. This has been a difficult week because she was very cautious about letting people see her during her treatment, so there were a lot of people who were unable to say good bye to her before she moved on. I have been working with a few others to facilitate funeral arrangements (flowers, getting the info out, financials, etc.), and her funeral was this past Thursday.
It has been an emotionally exhausting week, though I can’t be thankful enough that she is no longer in pain. Now I pray for her husband (who has MS) and her daughter (who is my age), that they may be able to find some kind of normalcy and be able to eased of their pain.
Hopefully I will resume a bit more regular posting this week - things have just been too hectic this week.
On a bit more of a positive note, I have an interview in an hour with our district manager - hopefully I will soon be a shift supervisor at my store! Yay Starbucks!
