I started my first day as a Starbucks employee. I haven't had a part time JOB like this in years, not since I worked at a department store or even back when I worked at Wendy's for several years. But a teaching job I was supposed to start this Fall fell through, so I have been looking for extra opportunities to supplement our income, since I only am teaching 2 classes this Fall and it's not enough money. Plus, we're trying to be really good about saving since our family is hopefully going to get bigger soon!

It wasn't a terribly difficult afternoon; I filled out forms for payroll (pay day is every week, woohoo!) and learned how to do things like clean the bathroom and make frappucinos. I made 2 frappucinos all by myself :)

I am TOTALLY the oldest person there, even older than the manager.

I don't know how long I'll be working there, esp. if I get pregnant and it's too hard or like the smell of coffee makes me nauseous or something.

Right before I got to work, a woman called from our RE's office to talk to me about my last blood work results; I did the Jewish panel "just in case" and apparently, I am a positive carrier for Bloom's syndrome. The nurse assured me that this would only affect our child if the donor was also a carrier, but our donor isn't Jewish, so it should be okay. I don't know what Bloom's syndrome is so I need to do a little research. I am really surprised though; I didn't even know if I was at all ethnically Jewish. I'd kind of like to tell my parents since I think they'd be interested, but I think I better wait until I can talk to them about the whole baby thing!

Gotta go!
