It's Friday! Or better know as Fri-Yay! Hahaha. Now that I work office hours I so do appriciate weekends way way more than I did when I worked at Espresso House. Side note: I have lost me staff discount at EH. I knew that this day would come, I just in reality never thought that it actually would happen. Well well. Okay back to the post, it's Friday and I appriciate weekends way more now because I always have weekends off from work. I hated working weekends and I used to always tell my boss at EH not to schedule me on weeekends. But she did so anyway because for some reason she hated my. I don't know why I mean I am such a lovely person. I am excited for this weekend because I am hopefully going to meet my cousin tomorrow. We'll see. We had plans to do something tonight but then we realised that it was better to meet up tomorrow. I am also going to try and do some work for my blog. This blog is starting to take up more and more time of my life. I love it though and th...

This day has not started off well. My new lipgloss that I bought this weekend is evil because it think it's funny to make its mark everywhere like my chin and nose but even worse the white shirt that I am wearing today. So annoying. During my lunch break I went to Fältan because I needed to buy a couple of things that I was hoping that they would have there but didn't. I was feeling very hot so I decided to take of my sweater. As I was pulling off my sweater my shirt got pulled up as well and accidentally touched my lips so now I have a very noticeable purple stain on my chest. It's not all negativity today because it's international coffee day. I am so happy because in my Espresso House app I had 50% of any standard size coffee but since I have worked at EH I already have 50%! Which means that I got 75% off the total price and my latte was only 10,75kr. Hahahaha. But I won't keep that staff discount forever. I don't know for how long but my boss at EH said th...

Hi! Sorry for not posting anything last night. I was going to make a quick post while I was at work but then I remembered that I had things to do. Plus I worked my last shift at Espresso House. No one could take that shift and luckily for me it was a closing shift. Plus Emily who runs the shop in Solna C was really nice and let me start half an hour later than we agreed to. I actually thought that I was going to be more dead. But I wasn't dead at all. I am glad it wasn't stressful. It did feel weird though, like Espresso House and I wasn't a good fit. That's true. I mean if we were a good fit I wouldn't have quit. Nah, I am happy with my new job. I am so glad that my colleague and I get along so well. We sit and joke all day and help each other with assignments. I am so glad that I quit Espresso House even if I miss my old colleagues and it was a scary thing to do, but I am glad I quit. In order to grow you need to let go of toxic things and move forward. your wr...

Hi peeps! So it's Monday and that means back to work. It's exciting because on Thursday my colleague and I are officially going to be on our own with no help. Okay we can always ask eachother and other people who work there but the ones whose job we're taking over are quitting tomorrow and on Wednesday. Ahhh, but we'll have eachother so it's fine. Our work just sounds more complicated than it actually is. Wednesday is going to be a rough day! First I have to work at my new job and the in the evening I have my last shift at Espresso House. Well well. I'll be alright, just really tired. Hopefully it will be a calm evening. I am so glad I quit! That job is so stressful. I don't understand people who look at my resume and see that I have worked at McDonalds and think "Oh, that's a stressful job so you're good at handling stress". Eh, what?! McDonalds was a piece of cake compared to Espresso House. There was always a lot of people working so y...

Hi! So big things today! I actually started a new job. So much fun and exciting. The only thing that I miss from Espresso House is that this job is very sedentary. So I think that I am going to start taking walks during my lunch break. If I do that I don't have to take walks when I get home from work. I like to move around and be fit and healthy. This will totally solve my cardio problem. not that I had a cardio problem just that I wanted to include it more in my work out. Taking walks during my lunch hour will solve that problem. I'll tell you more about my new job later this week or next week. I mean because this week me and my new colleague are just going to learn everything about everything that we are going to do. It is a lot of new things. It is kind of scary but also a lot fun. You have to take these risks in life in order to grow as a person and learn new things. I am scared but I am excited for this. your writer, Erika

Hello my little darlings! Today I have been at work. It was so embarrassing though! OMG! I worked in Solna today where I work occasionally when they need extra help. The girl I worked with today I had never worked with before but she looked really really really familiar. So I thought that we had worked together before. I mean because where would I otherwise recognised her from? Right. So I said that to her and she was like "We went the barista training together!". The it hit me that that was it. LOL. When she said that I immediately remembered her from there. Sometimes I wonder about my memory. your writer, Erika

Hi guys! So what has happened since last? Well, I am finally a barista for real! Yesterday I finally got my barista diploma from Espresso House! Took long enough! It hit me earlier this evening that I have  worked there for about 11 months now. That is crazy! But it's been a fun and learning experience. I am not quitting any time soon. I just wanted to put that out there since I said "it's been" which kind of sound like I am moving on to something else. Nope. I mean that's if I don't get a part in the next Bond movie. LOL. Maybe. One day. your writer, Erika

Hey ho it's FriYAY also known as Friday. How is everyone? I am good. My day has been filled with meetings an errands. But now I am just sitting here in the couch with pore strips on my face watching The Simpson . That's my FriYAY fun. LOL, Imma have some more fun than that, I am going to watch Magic Mike XXL . LOL. Hahaha. OMG! I am so excited because Espresso House finally has chia pudding. Well, at least the one by Stureplan. I went there for lunch today. I am really glad that I went to that particular EH since I really want chia pudding. I know Starbucks have it but  have 50% off everything at EH since I work there. Pretty nice perk! your writer, Erika

OMG! Hi! So now I am done for the day! I can now allow myself to chill (I just have to write this post first). I went to work today, then when I came home I had to eat because you know you need food and I was damn hungry. I also did some laundry and was productive towards my future. It was good day. Any day where you're productive day is a good day. All you can do is your best. If you put in 100% how can the result not end up great?! Huh, right? Anyway, so yeah. I am really excited though because at the end of next month I am finally going to become a certified barista. I will get a diploma and everything. I feel like I have to study for that though. About coffee and such. I mean I know how to make the usuals. You know like cafe latte, cappuccino, cortado, espresso and all of those things. But there are some coffee's that I am not really familiar with. I have to study up on those. I might be asked about them. I hope I pass. But of course I will. If I was that bad of a barista...

LOL. I am about to go to bed but I just wanted to post something before. Sorry that I haven't updated much these last few days. I have just been busy with work. Both at Espresso House and with acting. Gosh. LOL but I love keeping busy! I get bored and restless otherwise, but at the same time I get super stressed when I have stuff to do all of the time. Or maybe that was just Grönan. I didn't really feel welcome there. I liked Gröna, it was a good experience but it is not something that I would do again because the bosses they break you down. Idk but they are very tough and don't listen to what you have to say. I am glad that I have a great boss now. He's really nice. I have another shoot tomorrow. But I am happy about that. happy to get back in the game. I haven't done much lately because of Grönan. Grönan sucks up all of your energy and time. I mean your days at Grönan are so long. But I have no problem with that. The more you work the more money you'll earn, ...

Hi guys! How is everyone? I am good. Though I am a little sick so I decided to stay home from work today. My physical and mental health needed. Thank God that the season is almost over. But I have actually started a new job as a barista at Espresso House. I am still learning everything and next week my boos is going to teach me how to do coffee. That is exciting. A girl a the coffee shop taught me how to do espressos last earlier this week. Which is the easiest thing in the world. LOL. It exciting to do new things. School starts soon but I feel like I need a vacation. I think that I might go and visit my mom just to get away and have change of scenery. God knows that I need that. But she is here now visiting me. Sadly I have to work tomorrow so we don't get to spend time tomorrow. My shift tomorrow is a freaking death marathon but I am a freaking beast so I will be come in first. LOL. Lets talk another day and see how I feel about everything then. your writer, Erika
