Back in business!

First of all, this is crazy. And I mean, seriously. It's crazy. Monday the woman from the Ship to Shore crew placement agency called me. She had passed my resume onto a captain, and said captain was very interested in talking to me. She asked if I was still interested. due to the fact that I would need to quit two jobs I was already committed to, I told yes I was interested, but only for the right opportunity. THIS is the right opportunity. From the minute she started explaining the job description and crew dynamic to me, I knew I would have to accept were I to be offered the position. So on Thursday I interviewed. The boat is stunning. Oh, did I mention that it's the Ticonderoga? Which happens to be a boat famous enough to have books published on it? AND that pretty much everyone in the marine industry knows of it? Yea. Well, true facts. The Thursday interview went well, but I honestly didn't think I would get the job. It seemed as if the captain was hoping for someone with more sailing experience. I must have done something right though, because I was OFFERED. THE. JOB. Yes. I was offered the job. After barraging the captain with questions, I accepted. Thing is, I was supposed to start back up at the Mooring tonight. This new job? Yea. Starts MONDAY!!!!!! Thank goodness both my bosses were understanding and happy for me. But, this incredibly short notice leaves me with and ungodly amount of preparation to do in a crazy short period of time, though. Our first two events are next Saturday and Sunday. I solemnly swear to myself not to do anything to fuck this up. I will surpass expectations and work as hard as I can. I cannot jeopardize this for myself. I WILL NOT jeopardize this for myself. I will be clean and efficient and do everything I can to make this work. This is such an unbelievable opportunity. It's also scary as hell. I'm freaking out a little bit. Mostly in a good way. I'm excited, anxious, nervous, scared, sad, and INCREDIBLY HAPPY, all at the same time. Wish me luck.

P.S. Lindsay--- I will be back home for at least a few days after next weekend. Do not despair!
