Dark Period
The year was 2009. I call it the dark period.
At all started in Avion Shopping Center in Bratislava with a dishwashing job.
After a few months I was promoted to work with a coffee machine and I stressed out, whenever I had to prepare several milk coffees in a row 🙂 The following six years were about changing bars and cafes.
At one place I stayed for a year, at another for just a couple of days. Working in gastronomy is not an easy feat but it taught me a lot. I learned to work fast*.
Each bar had a different setup, different appliances, different menu, and of course different collective. Sometimes I had to run around like a hamster, sometimes I just stood behind the coffee machine and ground ten kilos of coffee a day. Few days ago, I browsed my old CV and I counted 14 businesses overall.
Anyway, it was a valuable experience, kind of like preparation for what I am doing now.
