would you like room for cream? non-fat, two percent, or whole?

so i have a new job. at the cocoa beanery in the hotel hershey. which is located in hershey, pennsylvania. the hotel itself is beautiful. it was built in 1933 and has expanded to over 3 times it's original size. it includes a spa with chocolate treatments, spanish-market inspired lobby, five-star restaurant, rental cottages in the back, a glorious brand-new entrance with a fountain- the works. i love hotels. and this is a superior hotel.

i started working the coffee shop portion of the hotel on thursday. it sucks because we're currently moving around so we're in a tiny hidden closet space right now. no one comes in. the few people who do venture to our isolated spot, are so wary of it's location, they just peek around the corner like it's some sort of trap. like we're going to abduct them. the people who do come in are very nice. i love making drinks and talking to people. even cleaning. i work with nice ladies. i make nice money. i get to read on the job. i also get to eat and make myself drinks. and i can experiment with the flavored syrups! i mostly make experimental lattes and italian sodas. we have so many good flavors. favorite combos include apple&vanilla and the classic chocolate&caramel. i'm keeping it simple for now, but i'll let you know when i get more elaborate with my flavoring.

it's just nice to have such a calm job after chocolate world. i'm also given more responsibility, which i like. and i feel like i'm really getting into the swing of things there pretty quickly. i like new things.

sidenote: concierge? seems like a sweet job.
other sidenote: i also get to make up gift baskets. and everything smells like freshly ground gourmet coffee. mmmmmmm.
