See ya, suckers!

[East Coast Hustle]

I got offered a job today. I'm going to give notice at my job tomorrow and ship out on August 10th as the cook on a research vessel. My first gig (which will serve as my probationary period) is 3 weeks in the Bahamas. My job is to cook 3 simple and reasonably nutritious squares a day for a maximum of 17 people (7 ship's crew plus up to 10 science team members) and to keep food expenses within the budget. For this fairly simple task, I will be paid handsomely on a per diem basis, 7 days a week since I have to feed the crew everyday. If my performance is deemed satisfactory, the cook job on that ship will be mine for as long as I want it. Or until I've become proficient enough in that aspect of the trade to "jump ship" to a larger vessel for higher pay. The captain of the ship was probably my best customer when I owned a pizzeria (and an occasional poker buddy) and most of the crew of the ship are people I have known for years and get along with really well. I just more than doubled my current income and swapped a job I've come to hate for a job that oughtta be pretty fuckin' sweet.

I GET PAID TO HANG OUT ON A BOAT IN THE BAHAMAS, MOTHERFUCKERS.

A BOAT, MOTHERFUCKERS.

ECH,

What sort of research are they conducting?

Any job where you're paid to travel is pretty much an awesome job - unless you have to go to Tulsa, or Milton Keynes.
