coffee anyone?

today i had my interview with PCC, Pacific Coffee. last week i submitted my application for any openings they may have in the company, be it working at the head office or making coffee in one of the stores. so the interview went well, though i wasnt exactly applying for a difficult position, unlike my first interview with Vtech (a story im not willing to share). it was fairly simple and it only lasted about 10 minutes, maybe even less.

strangely enough iv never made coffee before and i dont drink it at all. but its good to get to grips with a working lifestyle, having a schedule to keep is good i suppose rather than having absurd sleeping hours. im not particularly looking forward to doing a hard labour job as i understand it can be extremely tedious and more importantly, extremely boring. but at the end of the day im getting money and experience. long as theres some achievements then it cant be so bad.

i should hear back from PCC in a week, if not sooner. look forward to my first blog as a barista in the near future, where i will most likely be complaining about how boring the first day was.

curious note of the day: TNT (in terms of explosives) stands for Trinitrotoluene, a chemical compound with the formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3 (courtesy of wikipedia). i always knew TNT was some form of explosive power used in dynamite and whatnot, but i never knew the actual acronym was for. why did i look this up? cause my blog address tntien reminded me of TNT... haha
