On Thursday morning, I had my first shift as barista at the Coffee House and Wine Bar. I had just a few hours of training and was glad I had access to the SOP (Standard Operation Procedures) to guide me through a shift. I wanted to spend time fixing drinks here this season for the atmosphere and social interaction this small place has to offer. At the beginning of the season, the schedule for workers was filled up, but they found me a shift and I happily poured a few glasses of wine and prepared some mochas and lattes.
On Wednesday, my friend, Richard, had a birthday. He's 28 and to celebrate, he checked out Hut 10 for the evening and threw himself a birthday party. Not only did he host the party, he made some mouth-watering chocolate truffles. Lorraine, the one of the sisters who works in the mailroom, is as close as I was over this tray; only my hand was perpetually hovering over the chocolate! I was thrilled to have the night off and enjoy the good times.
I also played Bingo that evening. Bingo daubers are one of those items I can't believe we have in Antarctica. Do they make a special shipment just for the stampers? Even though I didn't win, we had a grand evening socializing over our numbered cards.
