WhoHoo, it's finally my weekend and there's so much to do. I started it off right with sleeping in until 9, stressing out about money, dropping off our adopt a family boxes and enjoying a wonderfully made americano from my work.
Speaking of work, I haven't really introduced my new place yet. Yes, you heard that right, new place. The rumors are true, I quit the south Allegro in October and started a new barista job at the tiny Cafe Bambino (www.cafebambino.com) in Ballard. It's a great little shop that has some yummy coffee, mighty o donuts, and free live music on the weekends out on the patio. I really like it there, I get to walk to work, I'm meeting abnormally nice and wonderful customers and my co-workers rock (though my co-workers and some customers at Allegro are just as awesome).
Don't worry, starting a new job hasn't put my overall plans on hold. I'm still aggressively pursuing opening up my own place as well as starting my own coffee roaster. As I've come to realize these things take a lot more time than I had originally thought. I was talking to a customer the other day about his 5 year plan for opening up his own restaurant, 5 years, holy shit that's a long time, and he's a certified chef who knows his stuff. So I'm not feeling too bad about my years adding up so far.
