EMPLOYED!

[riabear]

I am now officially a barista at Starbucks! What a fantastic way to use my B.A. in Psychology! :)

Hooray for making money!

Well, as far as I know, there isn't very much you can do with just a B.A. in Psych. On the other hand, I also wasn't looking for anything permanent. Six months from now, I'm most likely going back to school for my Clinical Psych Ph.D. It'll be nice to work somewhere flexible, friendly, and where they won't mind transferring me to a store closer to school.

Huzzah! and even more so, if you love coffee and get a discount!

[riabear]

I do love coffee, and I do get a discount! As well as health insurance after 90 days of working there, discounts at various other stores, and all sorts of benefits. :) :) :) :)

Health Insurance! Now, THAT is worth hanging onto. Adam and I are just getting the good health insurance starting March 1 through his job.

Sounds like a good deal for you!

[riabear]

Yeah, I was looking for a full-time job at first, because I really needed the health insurance. Luckily, Starbucks offers health insurance for its part-time partners, so it's an all-around winner for me.

HUzzah!

[freklfacedjrae]

Heh, I guess more than one of us likes to say "Huzzah!"

[riabear]

Huzz -- I mean, hooray! Hehe.

Huzzah! And yay for health insurance. And me coming to get free coffee next month :D

Are you working at a location convenient to your house? :D

[riabear]

I'm working in midtown Manhattan, which is only a half-hour subway ride away from the apartment. :)

[nyonya]

I work in midtown manhattan! which Starbucks are you working at?

[riabear]

I sent you a message on Facebook, since I'm too paranoid to post such things in a non-friends-locked LJ. :)

[pjcop]

Can I join you?

[riabear]

Join me? You mean, also work at Starbucks, or visit me while I'm working?
