almost 4th week done!

Not too much to report for today, but things went fairly well at the front desk. I’m definitely getting the hang of things and I’m even getting used to saying “Aloha” and “Mahalo” all the time (then again I think the muumuu helps too). Dinner was great tonight since I ate at Café Hanalei and I had the grilled Walu (a fish that’s very similar to Sea Bass).

Tomorrow night I’m working at 11 pm and then I’m finishing at 7 am. It’s the night audit shift where everything from the current day gets settled to zero in preparation for the next day. A lot of the shift’s activities involve accounting which will also be great preparation for me for next week in the Accounting department. It’ll be an interesting night, but hey learning is what I’m here for and I don’t think I’ll have an opportunity to ever do this again. Once I’m done at 7, I’ll be done for the week! Goodness, I can’t believe I’ve already been here for 4 weeks!


So there's this really cool window in my bathroom. Sounds a little odd at first, but basically its a window that you can either have "open" or "closed" by flipping a switch. When I want it "closed," a screen appears which acts just like the wall.

When I want it "open," I flip the switch and the window allows me to see through my bedroom and also through my bedroom window to the outside. This allows me to look from my shower technically out to through my bedroom window. Hope this makes sense, but the "open" window is below and you can make out the frame of my bedroom window.
