My new office is located at the north end of the Kohala Coast, overlooking Kawaihae Harbor. I've gone from working upstairs, alone without windows, to working in an office with three other people, my own office, and a view of the ocean. The work is an easy transition (all my accounting and bookkeeping and HR experience is paying off). The people are friendly, easy-going, and the pay is generous. In my first week the payroll service company was pretending to recruit me (after I spoke up at a meeting with them) and the people I work with were telling them to leave before it sounded appealing to me. It's kind of fun being fought over so quickly. I've sent along pictures of my office and the view. My office is just inside the little building. The other building is the processing plant and visitor's center. The two corner windows on the left of the picture are in my office. The picnic table is for the office personnel and looks out over the water. The other view of the harbor is the view from my office window. Yeah, this is the life! The last picture is of Bruce at the hospital last night. We think he touched his eye with pepper juice and it caused an abrasion. They had to irrigate his eye and he is on antibiotics for a week. I hadn't seen him in this much pain since the kidney stones. :( Today he is better.
With Bruce being able to work on the house full time, we should be able to move in by spring. Every month we don't have to pay rent is money in our pocket! And with Rob Malouf here for a couple of months to help with the framing, we are hoping to have it closed-in by Christmas. I can't wait! The view at the new house is better than the one at the rental; we can see the ocean, Maui (on a clear day) and the Kohala Mountains. I hope everyone is planning to visit sometime. I can't believe it's November already.
