On the upside, you live in Hawaii, so to me that would be like being on permanent vacation anyway...

each time you're off ill. Then you get 4 weeks paid sick time year. Let's just say you don't see many new employees taking off sick!Actually once you live & work here it doesn't really feel like you're on holiday any more
