Just another day in Paradise 

 

After making some calls today I was informed that the new Apple Campus 2 project in Cupertino California located in the Bay Area is looking for some more glaziers for the project.

A very close friend of mine was just awarded a foreman position and asked if I wanted to fly down from Alaska and work on the project. I told him I would think about it for about a week and then decide, and there is a great chance that I will take the job at Apple.

The Apple project has approx. 150 glaziers installing glass and metal on the project now and have been working there for one year. The Apple Campus 2 project is suppose to last another two years and completion is projected for around 2018.

I have been in Alaska now for 4 months and with the weather getting warmer and the days getting longer I really wanted to stay into the summer.

But the way I see it, the state of Alaska isn't going anywhere and if I decide to work at Apple Corporation, when it's finished I can fly right back up to Alaska.

Here are two photographs I took in 2015, the photo above is of a surfer looking over the pacific coast at La Selva Beach in Santa Cruz County California. And the photo below was taken in Alaska and both of these places are Paradise.

VB, Tough decision to make. The Apple job would be a tough one to pass up but understandable. Both places are Paradise..

It would be awesome to be a part of the Apple project but you have waited so long for the glorious summer days in Alaska.  Tough decision.

Hello Kristie ...

Thanks my friend and yes both places are so beautiful and I would like a vision from a power beyond me to help decide.

Maybe it will come to me in a dream?

Hello Bob ...

I know what you mean my friend and I spoke with another friend that worked on a project for Apple in downtown SF for 7 weeks.

He grossed $35,000 dollars in 7 weeks  of course with serious overtime.

Good evening Bob,

The serenty of the water and waves and the peacefulness in the field of the woods. Both are hard to give up.

Make yourself an astonishing day.

Good luck to you, Mr. Sweets. Haven't been to AK so can't comment but your photos I'v seen are pretty convincing it's paradise. We live in paradise here in SoCal too!

Have a great weekend

Jeff

Since both places are Paradise to you, looks like either choice is a winner, Bob. I live in Chicago and Orlando and have lived on the Hawaiian Islands. Each is beautiful in its own way. I would hate to choose.  Lots of continued luck...seems things are going so well in your life.
