Haida Gwaii day 22

Well I just woke up from an accidental nap. I went to put my laundry in the dryer and decided to wait for it...well 3 hours later here I am, just finished putting it away in my room. I had a dream I was back home actually, I was driving around Stanley Park...thats all I can remember. *yawn* gah really shouldn't have fallen asleep, the afternoon nap messes with my attempts to sleep at night...night time being 6pm lol.
My boss had asked me a few days ago if I knew anyone who would be available to work here and I had one response from a guy I used to work with at Joeys. He's been in the corporate restaurant world and his last stint was with the boathouse...he could definitely handle the pace here. But I was brutally honest with him regarding the living situation here and other things..No internet capable of gaming was a big turn off for him lol. Afterall is top 10 in Canada or is it North America for Star Craft 2 lol. Fishing held no appeal to him..as its not his thing either..ah well no worries.
WE are still on the look out for a cook to work the garde manger station (salad and cold appy station) ...fun fun.
I think I've lost some weight since I've been here...not alot but some...I can feel it. I have not done the hiking like I've planned...I'm always feeling toasted after work...but I've made my decision next week I am going to go for hikes after work...if the weather is really bad I'll just go to the gym...its basic but its not like I need all the fancy equipment. the have a treadmill...but Im pretty sure its one of those walk on only ones...it's super short..it's half the length of the one I have at home. One of the breakfast servers has already fallen off of it trying to run on it lol...I found it amusing. They have an elliptical(spelling?), universal gym weight thing, some free weights and a stationary bicycle.
LAst few nights have been very chilly...brr type of chilly. Im currently rocking the black sweat pants and staff shirt with black hoody...Ive noticed majority dress for comfort during their off time lol. So glad I bought a good pair of Merrels before I came up...my feet are thankful.
I have cuts on two of my fingers that just wont heal..they hurt and are tender..I think they're either from salmon teeth when I picked them up or from the hooks..they are tender. I can't believe I didnt bring any polysporine or something like that with me...I have lots of band-aids though.
It's raining again today, I took a 10 second video on my camera yesterday to show the weather but I dont think it does the real thing justice. I cant imagine braving the open ocean on days like that...I need to take a picture of the boats we use..honestly not much bigger than those aluminium boats for a lake...slightly wider but not much longer...takes a beating.
Well thats all for now...tired, time for some juice and tv til bed time.
