depending on how often I remember about this, you might just get to see what I'm up to

Coming home soon

So, it's definite. Our contract has been cut short and pretty soon,
we'll all be layed off. Right now, we're off the coast of Florida and
on our way back up to Fort Eustis, VA. However, since some bad
weather is supposed to make it's way to the area, we'll most likely
spend a few days waiting it out in Jacksonville. The good news is
that it'll be a few more days that we'll all get paid. The bad news
is that it's Jacksonville. Again.

Although I'm a little bummed that what I thought was going to be three
months of work turned in to six weeks, I'm looking forward to being
back in the northwest where I can hopefully get a few more days of
snowboarding in.

Aside from the grim reminders of what an earthquake can do to an
already desperate population, this trip has been a positive one. I've
made some new friends, got the chance to work on a modern ship and
done my job well enough to hopefully be asked back in the future.
Working on this ship, with this crew has really been a pleasure.
Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't do it for free but all things
considered, it's a pretty easy job.
