my landing pad

hooray, i got a job! i am now the produce girl at the local natural foods market--abundant life. there are pros--healthy work environment, no dress code/no uniforms, employee discount, potential to meet cool people, mom and pop owned business, handling beautiful fruits and vegetables all day, full-time steady work with health care benefits. there are cons--not much money=don't think i can exist on it for long unless i get some big raises, they keep you real busy and expect alot, no free coffee, no free food, no cute boys (yet).
i don't know how it will work out in the long run, but at least i am working and generating some income. if my past is any indicator, this may just be the first in a series of jobs that leads to the good one. as much as i like the pros this job has, none of them hold water against a job that pays double.
i'm totally spent from a long day learning the ropes as the veggie vixen.

Oh, you will meet a lot of people working there. Most of the hippies, yippies, and vagrants use that as a meeting place. I met many good friends sitting out side that store during those 13 inch rains. I cant wait to be back on the islands!

Hey Freedomvan,

I hope to be back in mid-January. Looks like the 20th or the 27th. (You always get cheaper flights there on Tuesdays!) I am working on the 20th because it is so stupid to live in cold places. :) Thinking of taking a train to San Francisco and flying out from there to Honolulu, staying a few days in Honolulu, and then to the Big Island for a bit. I want to live on Kauai so don't know how long I will stay on the BI. I will let you know, or you will see my plans on my blog.
