Day 30 - 3

Triple Threat Tuesday
Rocky waters...

My favorite part about sailing is when we dock on dry land...

Ughhh, so let's do this, or not...today of all days, you would not even believe...today was everyone's first day working, for the restaurant that is..and wouldn't you know, it's the day everyone works a triple shift...amazing. BUT on top of that, yes there is more, this part of the journey is the roughest part at sea...so what a day I had...

It started out at 6am..i awoke and then heard my roommates shuffling around getting ready...knowing that they had to be at work at 7 and myself at work at 730, I just waited for all them to finish...658 rolls around and I can finally get into the shower...

My first shift was fun, I got to be an escort, or a seater if you will..i just ran around and took people to their tables, no biggie...and they have a nice little computer program to help assist with the seating, pretty nifty if you ask me...i kept telling people it was my first day and a lot of them responded with they could not tell at all and what a great job I was doing..i basically rock I know..

Then it was off to lunch for a quick bite while my shirts got pressed and then it was time for the lunch shift and there I was on the reset team..basically making new setups of silverware with the occasional bussing of a table or two. I took some sea-ez..or Dramamine in real world terms right before we headed to sea..and I heard everyone saying these would be the roughest parts of our travels, so I was a little worried...

Work was work..this other kid and I had a blast, joking..every time the ship would rock you would see the two of us walking to the left, then walking back to the right, swaying, it was retarded...the other hightlight was while I was resetting tables a heard some passengers ohh'ing and aww'ing right by me, so I looked out the window only to see whale tails flipping about in the water...once we were released I went down to the mess and grabbed a green apple to take back with me to my room..i did my very best to write, but I grew tired and fell asleep...

Third day in a row I missed dinner...time for work. This time I was in the pink palace..and once again I was an escort..i really don’t mind, it’s a very chillax job. However already I have started with my eyeing of the co-workers...there is one in particular that I like because she reminds me of someone, yet I don’t know who...

I tried my best to talk to her in passing, and she was very cordial back with me, she called me squirt at one point and I giggled and walked away...later when she walked by she made it a point to grab my name tag and see what my name was..i tried to catch her's later, at first I thought it was Kali, with a k only because I saw the K and heard her say Kali, but indeed found out it was Kelly...

Christina and I had a blast, she makes me happy because she constantly tells me how fun it is to work with me and how I am always making her laugh...if it's one goal I have in life, it's to please other people, especially to make them smile....that doesn't mean I don't not hate them all ;-)

We finished up with the work and decided we all needed to go to the crew bar..whatever I made promises to make an appearance so I might as well...but first I made a stop at the mess for the late night buffet..we had a nice little group meet up and it was cute because it was all our graduated class of 109 and the adopted others all sitting together

once again we are limited to wine and beer...but this time there's no blue moon..and the wines are still lackluster, so whatever..i tried a cab and it was a no go, but I still drank it just to have it...the bar is pretty lame....and then there's this closed off area for the dance floor with the DJ and the smoking area..whatever, I guess it's where everyone goes...sounds like another "loser's" or louies, whatevs..
