The Path To Work

18 June 2012
I got a job right away, as funds were (and still are) very low. I am working for a general contractor called Custom Builders. They do mostly commercial and government work, and they are very busy. My position is as purchaser for the whole company. I supply all the jobs, keep the equipment and vehicles working, handle all the ocean freight we receive and make sure it all comes together. It’s a big job ! But I’m thankful for the work and I’m learing about things I’ve never had to deal with during the Blue Sky years. And the office is a nice place to be, up this pretty path, in an old stone plantation house, with air conditioning. This latter is no laughing matter - it’s freakin’ hot here all the time, and working outside during these summer months causes rapid melting.
