I started working at Starbucks yesterday. WOW!!! There's more training and materials to read for this than I've ever had on any consulting assignment.

Lots of free coffee on my first day of training. Talk about a caffeine buzz. I was there for 2 1/2 hours and had a grande cup when I got there, a coffee tasting, and, of course, a cup to go.

Two days of on-the-job training this week and then a 5-hour class on Saturday. It's all fun though.

Did you know that the art of coffee tasting is very similar to wine tasting?

Ciao.
