Yay I am finally able to communicate again!
So after 6 weeks Im now back to "normal" routine on board the Carnival Victory. I say "normal" because I actually don't know what that is on this ship as it has been go go go since I arrived. I have developed so much more muscle and lost weight from it though! yippeeeeeee.
So a quick low down on why I was no writing...... We ripped our entire theatre apart.... an 8 yearly update to refresh the ship (if I knew that I had to do this I would of reconsidered coming to this one lol not really it has been awesome). Entire new lighting rig.... not many Cyberlights now thank god! and a Grand MA, fun times. Then we replaced all the scenery, then the costumes, then threw a braqnd knew cast into a brand new show, plus updating the 3 others. Needless to say, I have been busy for 6 weeks!! We would work about 13 hours before doing our normal guest entertainment shows.... its been extremely tiring, yet I have learnt so much. I have met almost every office person in the entertainment department now too. The best bit about it all was that my direct boss, the coordinator of automation and rigging, came out to help with the installation of the new scenery, which was the largest part that effected my direct job. But he only stayed a week and told me that I could handle the rest, which included electronic repairs on automation specific parts and drives and the programming of the entire new show and all changes to the old shows. I was AMAZED that he left it to me, but I was really excited to do so. I knew how to do the programming and everything, but the fact that he allowed me to do it unsupervised was fantastic and it all went off without a hitch! Then with all the other office people on board, they were singing my praises. I thought I was just doing what a regular tech onn board does, but it seems that I have gone above and beyond most others. I was shocked as anyone who really knows me knows that I am lazy... but aparently not to these guys!.
Do you know what is quite depressing.... this is about all I have to talk about. After all this time here, I have nothing to report lol I am very white though.... as I have not seen real sunlight for a while and everytime I venture out on an open deck to get fresh air I seem to cower away in the shadows. Well thats going to change..... I am getting off this ship next week and I cant wait. There is so much new stuff for me to explore..... plus then I should have some stories!!!
