I just found out that:
1) when we get back to port in VA on the 31st, we have a week off (paid), followed by a 4-month job that will have us leaving port every week on monday and returning on thursday. We get the entire weekend off (again, paid) for 4 straight months.
2) when that job ends, we will get the entire month of january off (not paid, but still sweet as hell. STT, here I come.)
3) when we resume work again in february, we will either be reprising the job that gets us paid weekends off, or we will be going to the bahamas, tying up to the dock, and not leaving. We would essentially be a floating hotel, which means that when I'm not busy making the food I get to go fuck off and go scuba diving, bonefishing, and exploring the vast emptiness of Andros Island.
4) There's a very good chance that, come June, we will be taking a job that will have us working in motherfucking NORWAY for the entire summer.
I love this job.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Congrats!
It is good to be ECH.

Dealing with asshole contractors and incompetent colleagues today.
:crankey:

Dealing with asstards who won't return calls and chatterbox interns. And also crappy Maine weather.

Wow, that's awesome, ECH. After what-all you went through last year to find a decent paying and rewarding job, I'm glad you landed one that makes you happy!
Can I come with you ECH?
Don't you need a decent sous chef?
Chief bottle washer?
Token bitch?
I can provide references for any of those... :lulz:
I think it might be a while before I'm allowed to hire an assistant, but when the time comes I'll make sure you at least get an interview. I've been pushing for my budget to be expanded to allow me to do some high-end fancy stuff using the argument that if we charge the clients an extra $1000/day for food, I can give myself a 50% raise, be able to buy whatever ingredients I want, and still put half of that extra money in the owner's pocket. If that comes to pass and proves successful, my next move will be to push for another budget expansion so I can hire a sous-chef.
christ, you totally just won western civ

I am so jealous. God what a dream job!! You are so lucky!
If it doesn't violate security terms, post pictures!
Fuck you and your awesomeness ECH :argh!:
/jealous
If I wasn't so prone to seasickness, I'd be really, really jealous.
oh, and FYI Lys you can pretty much count on meeting me IRL sometime before the end of 2011. I get all of january off but I won't be able to do Aus then because I've got some stuff to take care of here onthe home front, but the next time after that I have a whole month off the plan is for ECHGF and I to fly into Melbourne, rent a camper, and circumnavigate the whole country, or at least get as far as we can before we get eaten by mutant saltwater crocs or flying box jellys.
Way to snag a nice gig. Congratulations.
:cheers:
