Where Less is More...

Literally. This past week I have been at the Quarterdeck working a variety of stations. I was on pantry for a few days, on fryer (which I do not enjoy because it makes my skin quite oily... wonder why) and I helped prep for the 'boat'. There is a boat that the Quarterdeck feeds several times a week. Effrain is the person who preps for the boat almost everyday, generally there are between 60 - 80 passengers  The prep list isn't too intense, but its enough to have quite a bit to do for several hours. Working with Effrain can be a slight struggle. He speaks little English and basically laughs at every question you ask; not to make fun of you, but because he has no idea what you said, so he might as well just laugh. I was making potatoes for mashed potatoes and I had to fill three pans for the potatoes. As I began filling them, some were slightly more filled than others. One pan was overflowing (in my mind) and Effrain came over and said "Less". So I took some potatoes out of that pan and put them in another. Effrain came back again to look and began taking potatoes from the second pan and putting them back in the first. I said "Less?!" he said "Yes!"... I must have looked totally confused and I said "More?" and he responded "Yes!". Okay Effrain. But he's so delightful that you can't even say anything negative about him.

Next week is Heritage week! Dun dun dunnnnnn. I go in at 6AM every day and am working in the "Sky box" ( I will report back as to what the 'sky box' actually is) I'm pretty excited, everyone is bustling around getting ready and they said its like having a huge, extremely busy party all the time! And I am told I might even get to meet Ricky Fowler.. my favorite golfer!

I have been pumping iron all week as well. My gym visits have gotten significantly more intense and I am loving the challenge. Today I got a new PR -- I cleaned around 131 lbs and had 3 attempts at 140 .. no doubt in my mind I will get that next time I get the chance to try. I'm pretty stoked about the gym because I finally feel like my technique is getting more solidified and I am moving along quite nicely if I do say so myself. Hopefully I can sneak over there a couple times next week, if not, I will be squatting at the gym on Hilton Head where I have been going on my off days from Savannah!

Well, another early day tomorrow and then LET HERITAGE BEGIN!
