Now Presenting…
Posted in Relationships, business on January 30th, 2010Poor Eamon, in one of his business classes, they are supposd to simulate a real business with their stats and history and see if they can play out the semester and not go bankrupt. His group got an insurance marketing business. If he wasn’t in such a stressed state right now, I might have found it funny, lol. And fyi, yes it is illegal to drive without insurance, which is part of the reason why this accident was such a big ordeal. Granted, it would have been a big deal anyways, but it just further complicated things.
But in brighter news… I think I’m officially done setting up my store. Yay! I’m so proud of myself. I thought it would be a big ordeal trying to get everything together, but really the hardest part was listing the items. I guess that just goes to show how much I’ve learned in the past 5 years coding? So, if you’re feeling up to it, I’d love it if you checked out Sugar Rush Designs and give me feedback. I’m sure there are still a lot of bugs to work out, but it seems to be mainly functional, and I think, rather cute!
Now I’m off to work a miserable 8 hours serving spoiled coffee snobs their non fat, no foam mocha cappuccinos, which, by the way, would be a latte. It takes 5 minutes to look up a coffee term online, is it really that hard to look up what you’re saying so you don’t look like a complete idiot to someone who knows the jargon? If I get one more person ordering a macchiato, I’m gonna snap. Saying “marked” to me in italian means nothing, do you want a marked espresso, a marked latte, or what?

Oh bless him, what bad luck to get landed with that business. Your shop looks so cute, I will take a proper look when I have some spare time and let you know if there are any bugs or anything.

That’s interesting. It’s legal to drive without insurance in Australia. xD But most people have insurance anyway unless their car is new and they haven’t done the paperwork for it yet.
Well done on opening your design site.
I can see that you ended up using zencart.

Your store is cute. Congratulations
. You sure sell good and cute stuff in there. Nice 
About working in a coffee shop, I didn’t know that it can be a bit troublesome working with jargon as well — knowing what words to use and how it is used can save the trouble.

Your store looks great! I’m seriously resisting to order your dango chopsticks since I’m completely broke. Expect an order from me soon. Haha. Thumbs up!

OMG congrats on finishing your online store! Everything looks soo yummy! Maybe I’ll order someday
Cute chopsticks! hehee.
I tried applying as a barista but I chickened out because I’m so afraid i’ll break something or do something weird. I do wanna find a job though XD hahaa good luck there!!

Congrats on getting your store set up! It looks great; very pretty but professional at the same time. Your products are awesome too of course – I especially love the peppermint pillows and that cupcake trinket box. So cute!
Gosh, poor Eamon…he’s not exactly getting it easy at the moment, is he? I hope he can catch a break soon. =/
Lol about the coffee though. Some people just love to throw around all these “fancy” words without really knowing what they mean. :P I admit I find it amusing sometimes though when people give such round-a-bout descriptions of what they want when it could really be summed up in just a word or two (though I’m guessing that after working in the industry you probably don’t! lol). It reminds of me of Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory asking for a ‘diet virgin cuba libre’. Hehehe.

One big reason why I avoid ‘trendy’ coffee shops (Starbucks, Peet’s, etc. – unless I’m going for tea) is because I have NO IDEA what the coffee terms they’re bringing out mean. What the heck is a frappuccino and why is it different from a cappuccino and anyway what’s a cappuccino in the first place? Whatever happened to plain coffee, which I never liked anyway but at least I know what it is?!?
Maybe you should put up signs in your establishment as to what’s what.

Oh gosh, insurance marketing.
I would fail!!!
I hope that his insurance debacle with your accident goes better than ours did. We ended up getting nothing. Sucky.
