Quick update

Well of interest,

How to start this. Ok Rehab company wants me to come aboard on a temporary basis. Get here and Rehab company has posted a manager position for the position I would have filled. Manager position filled by a woman with 5 children who wants out of her old job (a private practice) and into this management job. One thing leads to another and this Woman who wants out of private and into manager position (which puts my hours at a shit hole level) discusses situation with one of the regional rehab company managers (the one who kinda did me wrong reneged on the contract per se and talked at length about a misunderstanding) a giant light bulb goes off in the head and the woman replacing me (sorta) is calling me and asking If I want to take over her Private Practice.....

So it's like Wife swap or something....except it is Physical Therapist Swap....

She was like does this sound like something interesting to you,

I'm like yeah I think so... (in reality it's like can I start tomorrow)

Went out last night to some very chic and trendy spots, pretty cool actually Manhatten style industrial brick clubs and lounges, I took my birthday for all it was worth and secured three free shots on the night, and two refusals.

Witnessed some pretty nice scenery. Actually was aggressive and secured some emails of a few fine locals. Patron granted me liquid courage. Securing names is a bit tough....

I work where the names Precious, Wonderful, Luuella, Amber, Shizue and Pong are thrown around and they are real names, I do not work at a nightclub or danceclub or mailorder bride catalogue.

I have met a Mlicia (oh it's like Alicia but with an M instead of an A...oh ok thanks) I'm like this girl is so tough she is the Militia... Imagine that....

our Mailperson, who is pretty much drop dead gorgeous and has hand delivered two packages from My mother (thanks MA) her name is Gay...that is right Gay. Not sure how it is spelled.

I will write next about the Chinese New Year that I was privy to over the weekend..... Ho chi ma phat or something like that
it's the year of the RAT, you rats know who you are.

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes, appreciate it...

also I think I have been changing my word of the day on my voicemail but for some reason it has been the same one....I admit I was tardy in my changes and the word of the day quickly became the word of the week, the biweekly word and the word of the month, but before it could reach word of the quarter status I had changed it and kept up with it for a day...

Well I'll keep trying....

I will be doing a part time work at a facility called Poonani tomorrow, which I think means some part of the female anatomy in some language... but here it means rainbow which fills the sky with love and brings joy and happiness.... actually I'm lying I don't know what it means, but the street I live on is Makanani which means pretty eyes....

Mahu means man dressed as woman or transvestite.
Haole which is the white man literally means "without breath"
directions are given either towards the sea or towards the mountain Makai or Mauka
Titta is a word used to describe Portuguese woman, it kinda means hard or tough but it is in relation to them having a tendency to be victims of domestic violence, so therefore they are used to being hit or something like that...
domestic violence is actually pretty popular here.
I drove by the Overpass where the man threw his baby off... not sure if any of u knew that story...awful awful awful....well it is like a crazy shrine, reminds me of the 9/11 type shrines...all balloons, offerings, candles, toys, kinda sad.

Wahine is woman.
Kane is man.

thought this people were talking about cockroaches, instead the word cockaroach is a term for stealing, like "who went cockaroach on my scooter"

also Broke da Mout is like really delicious as in it was so good it broke my mouth. "my girl make some broke da mout ahi"

also W is pronounced with a V after vowels, so I hear H-a-V-AH HE as a pronounciation for Hawaii.

Went to a pizza place called Boston's, they told me that all the Boston dudes are gone now but their excellent tradition to make great pizza and bust major balls continues....the staff told me stories of how crazy the people from boston are and that they think they are in jail now....

Also be on the lookout for the Pearl Harbor Post.....pretty interesting stuff.

Aloha

Hey Davey,

I'm so happy to see you are putting up a fight for Hawaii!!! As much as I miss you- I'm not ready for you to come home yet :-P. I knew the job market would be interesting, but I didn't think it would be so...puzzling but I'm sure you will come out on top!

New years twice- Am I glad I only have to go through it once ;-)...but I would someday like to see it through the eyes of the Chinese.

Keep well and we'll talk soon. I will have to call you and find out what the "word of the day" has changed too.

xoxoxo
