because i've had some serious issues in the last couple of years finding a full-time job - or even several part-time jobs that allow me to keep a roof over my head and eat - i started filling out applications to everything that i was even slightly qualified for. 2 weeks ago i was offered a seasonal youth staff position with norwegian cruise lines... starting tomorrow. the problem with this is that by the time i took 2 or 3 days to make up my mind (do i really want to do this?) it gave me about 8 business days to get things done. i made as many appointments as possibles around my work schedule. the bigger problem was that this week is a holiday week, and most doctor's offices and labs were only open 2 or 2 and a half days. which meant i could get things run, but i can't get the reports until next week. so my ship out date has been pushed out till mid-week or next sunday. i'm a little worried about food and cross-contamination, since i was informed that no special consideration will be made for crew member's dietary restrictions. i guess i'll just have to illegally stash peanut butter and gf crackers in my cabin...
it looks like i might have some good stuff lined up for when i get back in 6 (well, now 5) weeks. if nothing else, it's a break from jobs i don't particularly like and a chance to travel a bit. hopefully, it'll be a good decision and experience. and chances are i won't lose too much sanity in 5 weeks...
UPDATE: yeah, that didn't happen. norwegian was a pain in the ass to deal with, and then i started a job that is kinda awesome, so no ships for me. which is probably for the best, since i really wasn't sure about how my body was going to react, what with the motion sickness and the celiac...
