Not too many people I have met, say they love their job. It is work, and that's what you do, WORK. I have a passion for cooking. I also have the great desire to please people. I had THE BEST job EVER. But, it's gone. Literally, gone.

I worked for SunCruz Casino boat. I was a cook. I loved to come in, in the morning, prep food for lunch, send it out, prep food for dinner, etc. Two weeks ago, we all, lost our jobs. It was on the news, I beleive, the day they told us the boat was not to return to the Port of Palm Beach.

"The money wasn't coming in as planned. We spent too much to get this operation going, to see it failing. We are sorry to tell you all, but the boat will not be returning to this port." That is what they told us all on Friday the 28th, in a cramped office. There were dealers, pit bosses, cooks, bartenders, cocktail waitresses, managers, EVERYONE. We all got the bad news together. Thats how we worked, together. I don't think I have seen a place run so smoothly, because all the employee's worked TOGETHER. We were all very upset to get the news.

I really can't imagine other people working in that kitchen, and running it the way we did. I understand the casino was not making much money, but it is off-season now. How could they cut us before season actually started? The snowbirds haven't even started flying down yet. They would have probably made the SunCruz so busy, and making so much profit, the owners would have said they'd stay. But they didn't wait. We are all so sad.

I hope to find a job that I like as much as I loved this one. I think it will be nearly impossible, but I am up for the challenge.  If anyone knows of a place, that needs a SOUS CHEF, LEAD LINE COOK, or EXECUTIVE CHEF, please let me know. I am looking for a good quality job, with benefits, prefferably in Palm Beach County. If there is something elsewhere, let me know, I will consider it.
