The Crossing

Well, here we are, halfway across the Atlantic.  Nothing in sight but water and sky for miles.  This actually doesn't bother me, and I've cruised from San Diego to Hawaii with my family before, so being at sea for days is nothing new to me.

It sure has been a busy cruise so far though.  With something going on during virtually every moment of every day in Studio B, we have been working much harder than usual.  I am still spending every possible moment doing lighting work in hopes that when the usual Studio B Production Manager comes back, I will be ready to get an interview set up.

It's weird not knowing when this contract will end.  If I go by my original projected sign-off date, I'll be leaving at the end of January.  However I did request to extend until the end of February and therefore it could be a month longer if that request was actually processed.  Then there's the possibility that I get and pass my lighting tech interview during the month of December and they need to transfer me to another ship and extend my contract a bit more.  So right now I don't even know if I'm halfway through or not.

Only time will tell, I'm sure I'll have at least some really good news in the coming weeks.
