Mark's Big Day


Today Mark had his first day at his new job. He is in the Caribou Coffee management program. After completing several weeks of training, he will be a store manager, and then aspires to be a district manager. Mark loves the SMELL of coffee and is impressed by the Caribou company. He is trying to learn to like the actual product of coffee itself ! Currently, he is testing the waters with Lattes. We all know I LOVE coffee. At Mark's second interview (conducted at a Caribou location), the district manager asked Mark if he would like a coffee. Mark said, "No thank you." The DM looked at Mark inquisitively, and asked him again. This time Mark ordered a regular coffee, which he sipped. When he was leaving the interview, he threw the mostly full cup in the garbage. He hoped the DM did not notice the loud thug made when it landed. At the third interview, Mark spent an afternoon at a Caribou with a manager. This manager LOVED Caribou and introduced Mark to her favorite drink - a triple espresso. Mark was flying high after that! I can't wait to get home and see how his first day went. I also hope that I beat him home so I can see his expression towards his children when he arrives after his first day away from them! Today Auntie Kelly is caring for Marly and Dean, as she will several days a week. How lucky are they (and mom & dad) to have their auntie looking after them!

I love the smell of coffee also, and I worked in a coffee shop my junior year, but still need lots of flavoring and/or milk to keep it tasting normal! ha ha!

Hope it went well!
