LIST alert!
What i've learned in the 9 days i've been in the Bay Area after living in hawaii.

* 70degrees is what we set the HEATER to, not the air conditioner. that makes me unhappy that that is the definition of nice and toasty.

* Trains are awesome. I am now an avid supporter of rail in hawaii.

* Trains are also where you use those supressed profiling skills that you build up on the bus. Cmon you know what i'm talkin about. You sit next to the person who seems least likely to make you want to shoot yourself in the head. Also, the person least likely to make you throw up because of their smell. Now you understand 'cause you just visualized that. Sorry.

* Do NOT pick up cats quickly if they're nervous-like. They have claws that dig into skin. You will bleed.

* Staffing agencies rock if used properly.

* Worrying about how can you shove as many follow-up interviews in one day is an awesome worry.

* I'm not the tall one anymore.

* Scarves are not just for fashion. Did you know that? You need those suckers.

* Navigation tools in phones rule. I look like i know this place.

* The myth that Hawaii drivers are REALLY bad compared to Cali, not true. They dont know how to signal or yield here either.

* Invest in a well-made, good fitting suit.

* Parking in waikiki...is easy compared to parking in SFcity.

* I type 95 wpm and know this is a fact 'cause i took a test.

* The only asian food grocery store only has li hing mui seeds. and they suck compared to the ones in hawaii. (haha no pun intended, okay i left it in so i guess it's intentional now)

* The space next to outdoor heaters is valuable. Claim it like territory.

* Talking about how you're from hawaii never hurts in an interview. In fact it's helped each time.

now i attempt to sleep. More like this later. I might start a blog just kinda devoted to this *ShrugS*
