Woman vs. machine
Take one malfunctioning cappuccino machine.
Add one charming ex-barista.
Result? A two-hour duel...woman vs. machine.
She cleaned it again. It did not explode. She takes off all the little pieces and gadgets, cleans those. Puts it back together. Adds the perfect amount of water and expresso. Will the machine give? Ah, the sweet aroma of espresso fills the kitchen. But the machine has a trick up it's...sleeve...
It adamantly refuses to froth the milk.
The woman is now desperate for caffeine.
She looks at the espresso about to go to waste...
Looks at her pitcher of cold milk...
and quickly mixes them together..adds ice..pours in a bit of vanilla concentrate...
shakes it all together...Voila! Carmen's famous vanilla frappucino.
But it came at a price.
see that she's not as fresh or excited as before the battle...but her wits conquered the machine. Or at least compromised with it.

As Jill, you are confident, respectful, and a little bit bossy! You have an acquired taste for adventure, and love any challenge that you have to face.

where did you work as a barista? I worked at a little start-up company owned by a couple with aspirations of grandeur (to one day soon compete with starbucks) called "Cole and Parks" in Victor, NY. They were a bakery as well as a coffee company. I'm not sure though, their coffee was more bitter than starbucks, but at the same time, their espresso was sweeter ... not sure how that happened.
Oh, i worked at one of those starbucks that isn't really a starbucks, you know, like the kind in barnes and noble. It was at my university, and i'm still quite a regular there...and they still let me make my own drink ever now and again...it's good to have friends in high places...
