Don't come looking for me
At The Fish House that is. I have been looking for a job that would give me a better schedule with my wife since she is a teacher and works days while I works nights. Well I recently applied at The Fresh Market in Pensacola. I have been waiting since yesterday for them to get my background check back to confirm that I did have the job. I just got the phone call. Putting in my two weeks today. I'm so excited. I landed the assistant deli manager position. It is less money than what I am currently making but they have better benefits, my schedule will be better, and I will have Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas off. Haven't had an Easter or Thanksgiving off in over give years. I will have a much better lifestyle plus I plan on this being a long term job/career. I start Monday September 9th.

Congratulations on the new position Justin. I hope it works out as well as it sounds like it will and gives you some good time for fishing, too. Is it still in PCola?

Yes. I am looking forward to it. It will be a new challenge for me. Been burnt out on the while restaurant thing for a little while. It its gonna be nice living somewhat of a normal life.

I'm a big fan of Fresh Market. Was in the one today in Jackson, MS. Probably the only non-sushi restaurant where I'll buy packaged sushi. Good luck. My son burned out too and is working for an internet security company. Restaurant business is tough. You're working when everyone else is playing, and v.v.
Screw it. Let's ride.

Yeah. I just found out while filling out paperwork online that I get a bonus in December every year. This year it will be 1% of my year to date earnings then after I am there a year, it goes up to 2%.
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
