Our wings are not tired

but I am missing more and more normal internet access and being able to watch TV.

Yep. Those are two of the things that drive me a little stir crazy when I'm working on ships too. Happy early birthday. I celebrated mine last year while out on the NCL Jewel.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

What do you do on NCL, NoiseDesign?? I feel horrible even complaining in the slighest because I work on a ship and am seeing such amazing places and the only work I've done all day is play Pictionary with some passengers, but yeah, ever so slightly stir crazy.

It's eerie when the ship is empty. But I wandered around a lot and hung out chatting with the cute new boy at the Pursers desk for a while, so it has been a pretty nice day!

Most of my cruise work has been for Nickelodeon as a technical director for their shows and charters so I've been on RCCL and NCL. I was also the sound designer for Toy Story on the Disney Wonder. I'll be out on the NCL Epic for two weeks this summer in the Mediterranean.

Happy early birthday, zuisa!

Early hippo birdies, zuisa! (I'm betting you've done a lot more by 25 than I did.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think a herd of large mammals is migrating through the apartment upstairs.

Well, humans have been encroaching on their habitats for decades. They've gotta go somewhere, might as well go somewhere with plumbing.

I think my former upstairs neighbors ran a clogging school for sumo wrestlers.

Have I ever mentioned Mr. Squeakybed McLongTime?

Happy early birthday, zuisa! This is a good week to have a birthday.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, zuisa!

Happy Early Birthday Zuisa!

I cannot convince my coworkers that I am actually feeling much better than I was, due to the fact that my voice is almost completely gone.

And I seem to be developing a sniffle and sore throat. Hopefully I can head it off with the prompt application of zinc throat lozenges. They make Everything Taste Funny, but they really do seem to short-circuit some of the worst cold symptoms.

I really don't want to call in sick in my third week on the job!
