Hello and welcome to the forum.
I think you have the right attitude, positive and hoping for the best, but being prepared for the worst.
I was on Incivek from Sept. 26th to Dec. 18th. Here are a few of my thoughts"
*Drink a lot of water, 1 gallon a day
*Keep your stools firm. If they get soft or loose, the flaming butt appears.
*Take your meds exactly as prescibed (Incivek every 8 hours).
*Set alarms, get timers, because it is easy to lose track of time or just plain forget to take the pills.
*Try to eat regular food as much as possible. The oil is okay, but you need food with it, solid food.
Here are some suggestions for high fat foods (check the labels to determine how much is needed):
1 avocado
2 ounces cheddar or Havarti cheese
Bratwurst (check label, cannot remember if one or two)
Regular Greek yogurt (not nonfat) (I lived on it, lol)
Ice cream
Heavy whipping cream
butter
Mayo
Peanut butter
Cream cheese
Brie cheese
2 eggs, 3 slices bacon or sausage, and buttered toast (all of them together)
If I was in doubt that I had enough fat, I would eat a few tablespoons of heavy whipping cream with the other food.
A link to a site that tells you fat content of many, many foods:

A link to posts about what foods contain 20 grams of fat (scroll towards the bottom to 80mecheng's post - lots of ideas):

I would have a few things handy in case you need them in the middle of the night:
Benadryl
Hydrocortisone cream
Loperimide
Maybe preparation H
Huggies baby wipes with aloe (you MUST keep the anal area spotless when you are on Incivek). Showers actually work better if you don't mind getting in the shower every time.
I don't know what type of work you do, but I would not want to be climbing ladders or roofs or hauling heavy loads around. I would not want to be working long hours. Many people work while on treatment but I don't know how many of them do heavy labor/work.
I agree with Gene that, while Plan A may be to continue working, it is a very good idea to have a Plan B and a Plan C. Ideas: desk job while on treatment; part time work; use of accumulated sick time, vacation time, comp. time, etc.; short term disability if you have it; long term disability if you need it; family medical leave.
Everyone's side effects are different. You already treated with Inf. and Riba so you know those sides, but the Incivek (or Victrelli) add another layer of side effects. You may whiz through treatment with few side effects or maybe even none. But you could get the severe fatigue, blood count problems, severe nausea, or severe rash, etc. Hopefully you won't have many.
One thing I would recommend is to get on top of the side effects immediately, especially the nausea and rash. They will snowball if not addressed immediately. Keep a close eye on your blood counts, which should be done at least every 2 weeks if not more often. The hemoglobin can drop fast.
I hope that info helps. I also hope you sail through treatment easily.
Best of luck.
