SSOCEOīs cruise ship routines in daily life:

I enter the bldg lobby and stand and wait for elevator after elevator (but I work on the first floor)...

My fellow staff members do not understand why I must go outside first thing in the morning to have my coffee...

No one takes the breakfast menu request from hanging on my office door knob and they just pile up...

I also keep going up and down and up and down all the stairs in the bldg and I still can't find the pool deck....

My admin gets upset because when the mail comes each day I run out and ask if I got an invitation for me from the captain yet to join him for dinner, or on the bridge, or for a reception - just anything....

I labelled the door to my office with Mr. & Mrs. C. O. Cabin 7____....

The receptionist hangs up on me when I buzz her and ask if this is room service...

I offered to have a towel folding class at 3 pm in the Conference Room...

I keep taking pictures...and I keep walking around everyone else's workplace looking at their photos --- trying to find me & my tablemates.

When I went to lunch at the restaurant next door - I asked for seconds...

One day I came into work wearing my evening gown - I guess it was formal nite...

Although my laptop sits on my desk, I ask where can I find the internet cafe...

The security guard in the lobby still looks at me strange every day when I come and go and show him my Sea Pass.

No one in the building can tell me where to take my bid for the piece of art hanging in the lobby that I like

I wear a fanny pack to work everyday and ask when does the tour leave.

I won't take off my sunglasses.

I play the vending machine everyday - but all I win is food and sometimes I just break even and it gives me back my coins.

My secretary doesn't understand why I want tomorrows schedule on my desk the eve before (preferably served w/mints).

I keep walking side to side down the halls and now my boss wants me to do a drug test.....

I still am wearing the patch...

I asked the building engineer if I could tour the bridge...

While at the bank today on my lunch hour - I asked to speak with the head purser....

I greet everyone I pass with "Welcome Aboard"

I can't find any doctors in the building.

I left the office at 9 am for a bloody mary

I tried to hold a sexy legs contest outside up on the roof of the bldg yesterday and the bldg owner was tooooo happy.

Still can't find the jewelry sale flyers for tonite

When hubby & I went to eat at TGI Friday's last nite - they wouldn't let me bring a bottle of wine to my table - even though I offered them the corkage fee. And they refused to put our check on my shipboard account.

The story continues:



Oh no - we fell back to the second page again....we're slipping. It wasn't really my fault. BUT before I left work today well - I pulled the fire alarm and then put on my life jacket and went outside the bldg. Needless to say when the fire marshal arrived and asked what I was doing - I told him "muster drill" - I need to be prepared. He didn't think it was funny ... so I got fined - now that is what is "nickeling and diming" this cruise! To make matters worse - when I got home - my Sea Pass wouldn't unlock my front door to the house so by the time I climbed thru the window to get to my computer .... we fell to the second page....



Well let alone I was late getting home - then hubby arrived wanting dinner - he didn't understand when I told him we were scheduled for late seating so he just had to wait...

Jeez........I was over my brother's today and we were sitting outside and he brought me out a bloody mary.... when I left I signed my name on the bev nap and wrote 7248... He just called and asked what the heck that was all about..............

Itīs getting worse:



Hi gang -- I'm back - sorry for the absence...I just got released from what I was told - a mental evaluation at some clinic. It all started Monday morning returning to work... got in big trouble for wearing bathing suit and flip flops and then when I put on my life jacket - everyone ran around and blocked the fire alarm pull stations - they said no not another muster drill. So be it - no drill - so I made an announcement over the PA system in the entire building (I pretended I was Captain Speaking) and announced that the muster drill was being cancelled due to lack of participation and ignorance of my fellow sailors. Also - no one liked my office door bon voyage decorations. jeez....

Well when they put this white jacket on me (I thought it was just to cover me up since I wore my swim suit to work) but here it wrapped all around me and then off they took me.

After answering allot of questions over the past few days to some counselor - I've been released and am back at work. Tell ya what - that was allot of Bull. Making me answer stupid questions like what is my name and where do I live. The only part I liked was the word association test - I can't believe how many words are associated with a cruise!!!

Final results were ... I need a cruise vacation. I could of told them that before they took me away....

Now back to work....maybe today I'll get my invite from Captain Speaking to dine at his table...
