Hey guys,
Great website, awesome and helpful information here. I went to the job fair this year, but was not lucky enough to get an offer letter 🙁 But i did meet a girl who worked in mcmurdo last summer as a DA. She was really nice, and gave me a lot of helpful information, on getting a job, and how things work down there, what to expect, it was great. So she also told me some gossip from last summer, most was amusing, but a few interesting things she said were. I was reading the thread about outsourcing the dishwashing jobs to NZ, she told me last summer a lot of dishwashers quit, or got hurt so they were so short handed that they made it mandatory for everyone there to do a day of washing dishes, and there were a lot of unhappy people, so maybe using NZ would make it quicker if they needed a replacement, versus getting them in from the U.S. ? maybe that sheds some light on why? She also told me that last summer that at new years eve 3 guys beat up some other guy real bad, and the marshall got involved and everyone but one of the guys got fired, which no one knows why he didnt. And now some of them went to jail? Sounds like you guys really know how to party down there.
Cheers
J
