Geez. Wouldn't you know. I ALMOST MADE IT! If only i'd left a few split seconds earlier, our paths would not have crossed. But instead, as I opened the door to walk out, in came the morning staff. "Hi Indyinn!" I greeted her enthusiastically. And lamented, "It seems I'm always on my way out when you're just arriving!" and we chuckled together good humoredly. I moderated my departing speed, though desparate to get away.

Traveled along the coast to get to job #2. The office job. Where I sit now. Although it seems "bad" weather is an impossibility in this state, today appears an especially radiant day. The colors are vivid and the water's beauty is of mythic proportions. "I really do live here," I observed silently driving past a surfer.

So, where is the owner's girlfriend? I was only asked to come in today because I was to teach her how to use Quickbooks and give a tour of the work that I've done creating a system of organization. I wonder if she's avoiding me? I hear through the grapevine that she is "jealous" and doesn't like having me here. Thus the owner's decision that we will begin to "split the hours" here during the week. (I am to come in 4 hours Mon, Wed, Fri and she, Tues/Wed/Thur)

I'll try to take the informants advice, "Don't worry about it too much. Just roll with it."
