Well, I had more training stuff to do today. It’s so cold in there! And I’m so tired! Oh well, it’s almost over. Tomorrow I have to take a test and then that’s the end of it (I think).
On days when we are at a port, we all have the evening shift from about 7-10:30 and a few people have the day shifts with the “port play.” On the days that we are at sea, there are 14 hours that we split up into blocks. Each block is 2 hours and we have 2 blocks on, 1 block off. Today I trained from 8-11:45, changed clothes, ate lunch, and then went to work until 2:45. I had a two hour break where I napped and took care of some things at the personnel office. Then I worked again from 4:45-8:45. It’s bizarre…I was obligated for more than 8 hours, but it didn’t really seem like that long. It’s really nice in that way!
I had to do a safety journal thing…it was a super pain. Important, I’m sure, but a pain. It sent me all around the ship to find the places I would need to go if there was an emergency. It is amazing how quickly I could get lost! At the same time, it’s crazy all of the different places that I can access now as a crew member. I had no idea how many different passageways there were, how many behind the scenes things we could see, or any of the other stuff that goes on. It gave me a chance to explore a little more.
After that, a group of us went to one of the night clubs on board for drinks and dancing. I didn’t do any dancing, and while I was there, they didn’t do much dancing either. It was a good time, but I cut out early to read up for my test tomorrow.

Are you allowed to take pix of the "backstage" areas, or whatever they call them? (maybe they don't; at Six Flags, all of the employee-only areas were supposed to be called "backstage"; yay corporate entertainment)
