Peace of Mind
Three weeks into the job I finally feel as though I had a productive day. I have accomplished some previous...a design for a show among the task of acquainting myself with the company and the area. But as non-commercial as a company attempts to be, some work cannot progress without money. A petty cash check was issued and today my cohort and I scoped out the local fabric store.
I had been warned that local resources would be limited, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. ecstatic actually. It's no New York nor LA garment district, but this small chain had much more to offer than JoAnn's, Walmart and a variety of other mainland stores that offer fabric. And substantially cheaper than Mood, B&J and NY Elegant. Finally setting foot in the fabric store put my mind at ease as far as my resources are concerned. I have no doubt I'll be able to "make due."
And I'm familiar enough with Honolulu that I was able to navigate my assistant...a wrong turn here and there, but able to reach the final destinations sans map. Let me reiterate I hate driving. Or navigating. Particularly when as a pedestrian you are not limited by the direction of traffic...most of Honolulu is composed of one-way streets.
Happy with the shop. Happy with the resources. Happy with my design work. Really...very very content. And a little sleepy.
Oh...and two weeks no cig.

Are you driving in Honolulu? For some reason - probably a mixture of personal prejudice and experience in Jamacia but I don't imagine that they drive in Hawaii like they do in the mainland. Something makes me feel that traffic on an island is just inherantly crazier. The same idea informs my judgement that they drive crazier in Jamacia than they do in Romania but maybe the crazy driving in Jamacia just made a bigger impression on me because I was in high school
