fro-yo crazy.

So my boss wants me to make the website for Red Berry, the place I work at, which happens to be a frozen yogurt joint. I have taken web design and intermediate web design and I have sufficient skills to make a nice website, though I think I lack creativity. Well Min, my friend and co-worker took the photos of our yogurt and the interior of our little place.

So in Sacramento, frozen yogurt has taken storm. But unlike usual places in San Diego or L.A. where frozen yogurt is full service, our frozen yogurt places are usually self-serve. YES YOU DO IT YOURSELF!!! Before working at Red Berry, I had a couple experiences at other yogurt joints but I was not a frequent customer to any particular yogurt place. I liked the idea of doing it yourself but I wasn't a big fan yet. Red Berry opened in late May, by Safeway that is two minutes practically from my home and I applied with Min and we were lucky enough to get a job. Well since I have been working there since practically the opening, I know the business in and out. And I eat yogurt practically every day (when working) and I am addicted/sick of it.

Here are some lovely pictures of our dear place:

Our logo (on the wall)

area where we have the fresh fruit, mochi, chocolate bars, etc
(YES THEY ARE FRESH, we cut them EVERYDAY)


our cool ikea chairs and our variety of toppings


just some examples of our yogurt.

I am a yogurt connoisseur after working for Red Berry for so long (two months?). I think our yogurt is pretty damn good though. And the variety of toppings leave endless choices to change it up each time. Personally I like granola, mandarin oranges, Nabisco cracker crumbs, thin mint cookie grind and lots of butterscotch and hot fudge sauce with my cheesecake frozen yogurt or cheesecake/cookiesncreme swirl yogurt. IT IS PURE SINFUL HEAVEN! Though I get too caught up in trying too many toppings and it ends up in a crunchy mess, with not enough yogurt to spread it out. But still, it is good either way.

lets celebrate.

So I finally have a JOB!!! Yay for me. I am working at Red Berry. It is a new frozen yogurt place that just opened by my Safeway. It is really close to my house, like five minutes so it is sooo convenient. I am so happy I got accepted. Min also got a job. We both turned our apps the same day on Thursday. Then we both got a call on Friday after school to work today (saturday. She worked 12-5 and I worked 5-10. Actually I worked until 11 because it got busy and we didn't have much time for cleaning up. The job is pretty easy, except it gets tiring to stand all day and say the same things over and over to customers because it is self-serve. But I am pretty happy. And the owners are really nice. I hope I can keep my job on for a long time.

I plan to just deposit money to save for senior year and the future. I just need to save money for all the money we spend senior year. Senior portraits, yearbooks, senior activities, senior trips, senior shirts, ETC. But I also get to keep tips!!! So the tips will go to the OTHER funds which is pretty much CLOTHES CLOTHES and food. I just need to learn how to manage my money.

I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week. I saw some kids from school today and Mickie came to see me with her boyfriend. She is same as ever though seems like she got skinner? And I noticed how SMALL she is but maybe that is cuz her boyfriend is super tall and huge. But it was nice to see her face, after HOW MANY YEARS actually? And Maggie came to visit too. I am probably going to see lots of Sheldon kids now. The place is pretty nice for a high school hangout. But the owner told me he got over 50 applications so I am sure they will find the right employees soon.

I AM SO TIRED. going to bed.
