I have finally received news from the company. The scheduler has indeed received my paperwork, and has even chosen to clarify my fate with the company in response to my email. She’s been “working the schedules” to see where an opening exists. She found one.
The position opens 4 November. On a GINORMOUS ship. Which means when I finally work (in two months)...I’m going to make up for my slothful lifestyle onshore. Now, should something come up sooner, and she says that it definitely will, I’ll be moved into that position.

That is good news
Except I'll miss our IM chats
But we want to see a photo of the GINORMOUS ship with a little red arrow pointing to your cabin. Pictures say 1000 words.
Congrats.
bigger boat means bigger opportunity to make an ass of yourself
Bigger ship also means bigger choice of tottie
Bigger ship means a lot of things. It means that I'm going to be working a lot. It means that, yes, I could be more tired than I was on my teeny ship. I could have a larger dating pool, or potentially be disgusted by more people. Dunno until it happens.
The itinerary is...okay. It is in the Caribbean, so at least there will be warm weather on Christmas (which I'll be working). There are three sea days when we do Western Caribbean (St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and San Juan), and sea days mean potential work days from 8 am until midnight. I'll be wicked tired, but when a contract is going well, you get used to being tired. (Every other week we'll do the E. Caribbean, and those ports aren't really that exciting, but I've been to all of one of them, so I already know where to get fantastic Indian food in Jamaica, and great espresso in Cozumel.)
I'm more than willing to share which ship I'll be on, and you'll be amazed by the virtual tour online. However, I'm not comfortable sharing it here on the blog. I don't really relish the idea of the company discovering my blog. The whole idea is a modicum of privacy so that I can share my potentially naughty/disparaging stories with my three loyal readers. So, if you're interested, myspace me, or email me.
Ooh
Loyal readers have gone up to three!
You might not want to tell me the ship - if I win the lottery I may pay for everyone to have a cruise
The last thing I need are hecklers that I KNOW.
I'm just imagining you teaching us line dancing....
