Haida Gwaii day 15
Oh wonderful day of this place of smelliness. They fixed the poop pump for now..but when the sun hits it it smells...so happy its only a few yeards from my door.
Busy day today with change over and all. COmpletely wiped for prep this morning, worked like a mad man to get it done.

Our new cook started today...comes off with being the dull knife in the drawer kind of person. You ask him a question and he doesn't have much of a response for it.
We asked if he was cooking before he came up, he answers "uh no I've been doing studies and I took a break, I haven't worked for about 6 months". Hmm ok...So did
you cook before that 6 months? His reply" Um I have cooked before" K... so where did you cook? "Uh in Calgary". That was the end of the conversation. It did not
leave me with a confident feeling. Less than 5 hours in he was complaining he has too work too hard...he was making sandwiches this morning and wrapping them down at
the dock for guests. Sandwiches are too tough for you? Damn dude I will take that job and laugh all day about it. Interesting to see how he does when he has to do a day
covering me, the cook shack and baking. I can see it being a bad day going in after him covering. BUT it is his first day and must give him the benefit of a doubt.
Perhaps he is rusty and will break out into super stardom...fingers crossed he does.
Apparently tomorrow he will be checking out what the baker does and then he will do the omelette and waffle station. Sweet...I can do prep and lots of it..huzzah!
Perhaps this mondays changed over will go smoothly for once...fingers crossed it does.

Oh I ripped a large hole in the side of my chef pants...caught myself on a loose screw and RRRRIP...so now I have one pair of pants to work in...fun.
IF anyone wants to send me some black chef pants feel free too lol.
Well thats all for today
til next time

oh those pics are my room mates leavings..couldnt get the photo of his giant pile of clothes to upload, will try later
