with my story, I thought I would take a quick picture of as much of my uniform as I could get...just so you have an idea of what I look like. Im sure I will get some better ones throughout the semester but this is what I've got right now. Ok, so my boss, Auntie Vonnie, said that I've been working hard so she gave me the job of being a seater. There are multiple seaters and all we do is say Aloha a thousand times and throw up the shaka and then show the guests their seats. When everyone starts to leave we say Mahalo a thousand times and throw up the shaka again. Its the best job ever, especially when you get truly exceptional people coming through thinking that the rock and roll sign and the shaka are the same thing. It was priceless. And another great moment was when this asian woman wanted to take a picture with me so, naturally, I smiled and threw up yet another shaka. This woman puts up two peace signs and the biggest smile you could ever imagine on a very tiny body. Classic. It made my night. I love asian people and I love my job.

Aloha/Mahalo/Shaka overdose.
So I started working at the Polynesian Cultural Center as a waitress almost 2 weeks ago. It has been great and I got my first paycheck today! I love my job. You meet some of the craziest people. Can I first point out that practically everyone I work with is like 4' 11''? Not that I don't tower over people as is, Im a freaking skyscraper in this restaurant. Its ridiculous. Ok, so today was probably the best/easiest day since I started!
