the new and improved blue chip

After considering a few things, I decided to quit my job at Café Hanalei. As I mentioned earlier, here I have to face many things that I have never had to before. One of those would be truly acting as a manager/superior and working as a busser does not portray the managerial position that I would like to. Plus now I will be able to actually have weekends off and get to explore the island. Also I’m hoping to visit my friends on Hawaii (the big island), without having to worry about work. Even leave the hotel property! This weekend I’m hoping to go to Kapa’a and do a little exploring there.

Today went great! I worked on Jay’s grand slam golf package and finished finding price quotes. Once I got all of the price information I was able to put it into an excel spreadsheet and I was excited to get a chance to put my education to use. I even threw in a couple formulas and when I showed Jay, he was floored by them. Of course compared to the kids in my MBA class it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary that our professors wanted us to use, but out here it’s pretty cool. Plus I thought it was fun to play around with excel and make something they could really use. This was also typically a project that took other interns took a lot longer to complete, but I was able to finish it in about a day’s work.

I went to eat at the fabulous seafood buffet tonight and even got to sample some of the famous chocolate fountain. The food was pretty incredible and it was nice to be out of the employee cafeteria for a while too. The weather was incredible today, so I’m hoping it will continue to be clear for the rest of the weekend so I can catch a few rays ;)
