disclosure

Hi, I am trish, and like so many others here, I cannot be classified under just one category. In the interest of full disclosure, there are some who consider me a barista, some consider me a roaster, others consider me a pest.
I don't suppose it matters much that I stick with my designation, but in the interest of full disclosure, I do not spend 8 hours a day roasting..... Peter G is not always green buying...sometimes he is roasting or training bartistas. Bronwen will be disclosing her journey as a roasting apprentice, I assume. Sometimes Chris will disclose his techie tendencies along with photography skills. Just the other day Nick made a full disclosure that he has experience with broadcasting....and so on.
Why have I spent the past 18 years working in coffee? Why would I give up a pretty good gig painting pretty pictures for a living just to roast coffee? Alchemy...because roasting coffee is like alchemy everytime!

  5. Ladies and gents, one of the two roasters who day in and day out does my bidding and does it beautifully.....Mr. Coalmine Spindle! We have an unwritten rule at work- you can say just about anything you want (between the three of us), so long as you tag on "inappropriate". I absolutely DO NOT recommend this system for your workplaces!
    Yes Coalmine, so deliciously inappropriate! Inappropriate!

  7. Trish, were you a painter before you were a roaster? Did you paint pretty pictures or just walls and ceilings? Sorry! I had to ask!
    And what's the definition of 1st and 2nd Waves. I can't sleep at night not knowing!

  8. I'm not ignoring you, Bob. I want to write something a little longer...maybe here... in a few days.
    Anyway, what do you think? Do you have some ideas about 1st and 2nd wave?
