JOB..

As I said in my last post about not going back to Cruise West next year I have been looking at other jobs. I am just not sure what I want to do anymore or where I want to be. I am done with the season in Oct and would like to start another job in Nov, But I am thinking of not starting until Jan that way I will be home for the Holidays. The couple of jobs that I have looked at are the new Disney Ship, Edelweiss Lodge and Resort, Catering, and Eckerd Youth Alternatives. There have been others to but these are the ones that have stood out to me.

Disney Cruise line has a new Ship coming out in Jan so I thought that that would be a good one to apply for to do youth actives. The pay is not as good as what I make know but my that time I should be out of debt so I don't have to worry to much about bills. I think that it would be really fun to work with the kiddies.

Edelweiss Lodge and Resort is an Armed Forces Recreation Center,and is located in Garmisch, Germany. It is a resort for Military families to come a relax on there time off. I would have to do a 13 month contract. What a great place to work and I would get to travel Europe while I am there, and they only hire Americans. to work there.

Catering has a lot of different options that I can do. It is almost never the same and I can do it anywhere. I won't get as board with this because this are always changing in the Catering field. I just have to figure out where I want to settle.

Eckerd Youth Alternatives helping at-risk youth and their families. It is a camp style program that helps kids that need help and there parents are having trouble helping them. I would be a camp counselor helping them with outdoor actives and other stuff. I think this is a great why to help kids and a great way for we to grow as a person. The camps are located on the east coast.

That's what I have been thinking about over the last couple of weeks. What do I do next in my life? Is is time to settle down some where and put roots down. I thinking maybe but I am not sure. if anybody is out there reading this let me know what you think.

Here's the Deal...

I have started a new season with the Cruise ship. I am on a different ship this year. I am on The Spirit of Endeavour which is about the same as my boat last year but a little smaller. It has been a crazy start to the season already. They have added a position in the Gally (kitchen) that was not there last year so they hired to many people to start the season. With that I was sent on my 1st vacation right off the bat. I was not happy about that. So I went home for my 3 weeks off but lucky for me I got called back early to help out with crew meals on the other boats. The chef that they hired for my boat was not that great and he no longer works on my boat. That is why I came back early. So there will be a new Chef when I go back to the Ship tomorrow. Hopefully it will be for the better. This I will be the Pantry (cold food) and Relief baker. I am glad that I get to do some baking this year. It is really had to get into the baking on this ships b/c they stick with bakers that have work with the company before. So maybe this is a way in but who knows if i will be back next year. I think I say that every year.
