After a few applications for other positions, I finally got an interview with Starbucks Corp. and accepted a position last Friday. I'll be starting on the 20th. I've been in the printing industry for many, many years so this will be a nice change.

I'll be working down on Harbor Island with Jeff Watson. Some of you may have met Jeff and his `63 convertible at some of the past events. The job involves ordering and distributing parts to repair persons that service espresso machines and a few other pieces of equipment in the retail stores.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about it. Jeff and Caro have good things to say about the company's benefits and it seems like a good opportunity for me. If we get any more members working there, we may have to branch out with a Starbucks Chapter...
