So for those of you counting i am about to have yet another job change! yes, i know it seems like a lot. But i think this one should stick for a while. I start on November 26 with Starbucks. I will be a manager in training first and when I am trained and a store opens i will be a store manager. Could be anywhere from 8 weeks to 8 months. But either way i am excited to work for one of my favorite places to go!
