Finally a bit of a routine

Alrighty folks,

 

Time for an update. The job is working out swimmingly, I am the only foreigner there besides Harry the Australian, who is actually Greek. My job consists of standing in the harbor amongst probably 20 other day trip boats and trying to convince the passerby’s that the boat that I work for in particularly is better than the others and that they should take mine… its… special… I get to heckle people all day about going on our three island cruise and giving them all of the features of the cruise. But there are rules to this as its very cut throat since all of the boats do virtually the same thing. I can’t talk to anyone until they come into my “area” in front of the boat, if I talk to someone before that zone it pisses off everyone else on the harbor. So its interesting. I talk to every single person I see pass me, whether they speak English or not. I’ve learned to talk a lot slower to try to explain the cruise better to people who don’t speak English very well. But in all reality it’s a pretty sweet job, especially since I’ve got the chance to work with all Greeks and get a bit of culture that way. And I’m getting paid 30 euros a day so I’ve got enough money to pay for my apartment as well as have money to spend while I’m here.

 

Basically my daily schedule for the next month at least should look something like this:

 

9-10 AM Work until the boat leaves.

 

10- 6 ( in no particular order)  Nap, Beach, explore the island, hang out with friends I’ve made here, and what ever else I feel like doing to stay busy.

 

6-12 (midnight) Work, Time goes by pretty slowly… but oh well I get paid.

 

12- 2AM I’ve got lots of options, I can go to a pub if I’d like, I can go chill and relax at a local taverna (restaurant café), I can go back to the apartment and call it an early night or make some food with leftovers for the next day. Lots of options…

 

That’s about it… it’s a pretty strenuous life here let me tell you haha!

 

I’ll have more about the people on this island both Greeks and Tourists soon. I think I want to do a personality rating for all of the different races I deal with. Guess who doesn’t rate very high… The French go figure! But for now I’m out expect something in a couple days!

 

Stay Classy,
