Great MOS stories
Fury1995´s dream
I had the most incredible dream last night! Gunnar, you were there, and Micki, and Sharon, Cindy, Carol, Michelle, Angie, Alisha.... all of you were there!!!
I was driving to work in my car, listening to the radio, and a special bulletin was announced for severe weather .
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, great big clouds appeared, and the winds kicked up... I could barely see! I pulled over to the side of the road and the car just started rocking side to side.
Then I felt the car lift into the air and just start spinning and spinning and spinning.
Everything was flying by me. Through the windows, I saw men working on a guard rail, someone pumping water from a well, and my old crabby, busy body neighbor
(who never liked my dog) riding her bicycle IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR!
Just as I though I was going to pass out, I thought I could here music in the distance.... "If.... they... could... see me now, out on a"... da da da
(I remebered that music from other nightmares, I was really scared now). Just then, I felt a jolt and heard a loud thud. Then the clouds dissapeared.
As I opened my car door, I couldn't believe my eyes! Oh.... the colors, yellows, reds, browns, IN EVERY SHADE!
Suddenly, people started to peer out from everywhere. I felt like there were about a thousand eyes looking at me.
Then, all of these little people wearing little yellow sailer outfits appeared from nowhere. Cheering and celebrating, they headed my way pointing towards my car.
As I stepped away from the car, I turned back to look, OMG! Sticking out from under my car, there was Kathie Lee's feet, wearing mustard colored flip flops!
DMV Experience:
Fury1995:
Well, I'm just got back from the DMV and you know? Those people can just be down right rude.
First I go through the trouble to find just the right clothes to wear, stand in line all that time, I get up to the "blue screen" and tell the lady I'd like the one with the stars at night and the ship in the
background. Well you would have thought I had grown a second head from the look she gave me.And after refusing to change the background, they ask me to step away after the first photo.
I said "Excuse me? First no fancy background and now you won't even let me take a second pose? You really need to work on your customer service if you want me to keep coming back and
spending my money."
Honestly!
It doesn't matter anyway, since I decided not to purchase that one. The picture was just horrible.
SSOCEO:
I had same problem with DMV and photos - they refused to let me hold the life ring in front of me (especially when they said they only wanted a head shot and I stuck my face
through it - they said no way)
Boatbunny´s spa experience
Thought of another one, the spa. So, I go to the spa, have a massage during which I fall asleep and probably snore. The attendant tells me she has to step out and get an oil she wanted to use, but I know she really went out to tell the other attendants that I was snoring and to come in and listen to it. Now the whole spa knows that I snore (only when I get massages though!). I think I'd have a good case for Defamation of character .
And of course, I buy some of the products that they recommend I can use at home (supposedly for DH to give me a massage, like that's going to happen!). So now every time I put the lotion on, it reminds me of my cruise, which makes me want to book another one. I'd call that subliminal advertising, wasn't that made illegal years ago?
And, since I am talking about relaxation, I go out and buy one of those "calming ocean wave" tapes to help me fall asleep, like it sounds anything like what I hear when I sit on the balcony at night listening to the waves hitting the side of the ship. Wasted money again, it's all these added expenses for things you buy after you get home to try to recreate the experience!
Rob dreaming while gorked:
Hey All....Hope this finds you wll well.....these meds do funny things to you......So, there I was in the MOS Veterinarian Clinic....present was the victim....I mean patient, Dr. Cindy and
Nurse Wrona.....Nurse Wrona asks Dr. Cindy what kind of dog the patient is....Dr. Cindy syas "lets aski him what time it is.....maybe he's a watch dog!!!....heheheh.....Nurse Wrona
tells Dr. Cindy the dog may have a fever....Dr. Cindy replys....go get some mustard.....mustard?? the ever attentive Nurse Wrona asks....Sure says the Dr., after all....thats what you
put on a..........Hot Dog!!!!!....well, I just wanted to let you know alls well and Im getting better, as you can tel....heheheh
LeeAnne´s nitey adventure
Okay okay it was me. I got locked out of my cabin! I just stepped outside for a moment because I thought I heard some serious partying going on...turns out it was a bunch of the crew drinking heavily in honor of Wrona's wrongly-corrected bar exam. I was going to quickly pop back inside to change and go join them, but then :::click::: the damn door shut! And I didn't have my card with me...not that I had a pocket in that little nitey to carry it anyway. Heck, the thing only weighs 0.07 ounces, no room for a pocket.
So I had to sneak out on deck and climb over the rail down to a balcony, then make my way from balcony to balcony, climbing like a veritable spider monkey, until I found my own. I did miscount once and step inside someone else's cabin... That shouldn't be legal!!! But I don't think they noticed me, so I quickly recounted and found my own balcony.
Now I'm exhausted, and my nitey got all torn. I need a drink.
Cindy´s dream of the MOS inaugural
Lt-HR hunkers down at her desk, staring at the endless stacks of forms for the new HMO (Hot Mustard Only) plan, wondering how she’ll ever make the February 10th deadline.
Hmmmm, February 10th….that’s ringing a bell, but why? Oh, that’s right – the MOS Inaugural Cruise leaves on February 10th. < sigh>
What was that darn DOJ thinking when they scheduled all this stuff at such a critical time without even consulting Captain Speaking!
Sure, I made it through January, but there’s still most of February before things taper off. I can’t wait to PFW at-will once again.
Man, I need a cruise like nobody’s business. And with that, Lt-HR hears steel drums in the distance, a familiar beat and someone’s handing her a frosty foo-foo with
that paper umbrella and what’s this…..the pineapple slice is sporting mini-sunglasses.
Something being placed over her head and that smooth, sexy voice whispering "Iwannaleiya". Oooohh-la-la!
That warm sunshine feels soooo good and look at that hot………… DING, you’ve got mail!
Cool, the RCCL Promowave! Well, it can’t hurt to take a little peek at it. I mean, cruising cures what ails ya, right? Let’s see…..OMG, these deals are unbelievable. And we qualify for "Da Bears" discount since we live in Illinois and have been such devoted fans! That’s weird, Packer fans not eligible due to the Brett Favre clause – go figure. Hurry – this deal won’t be available for long and you must cruise within seven days of this notice! Can this be real?
Swell, there’s that "voice of reason" talking in my right ear and I know I’m on a tight schedule at work, but maybe I could convince them to let me work from home and just not tell anyone that "home" for the next week or so is on a cruise ship! Okay, CLICK….and there we have it. Got some 'splaining to do - have to let E-CCO know we have to start packing!
And with that, Lt-HR kicks her heels up and dashes out of her office, locking the door behind her and whistling the RCCL "Get Out There" jingle. Stay tuned everyone…..we’re looking at excursions next.
Sometime later, Lt-HR (still humming that RCCL jingle) gently presses her folded clothes into her carry-on. Not much needed since we have these spiffy new mustard shirts! And my boa assortment will make a voguish statement for wardrobe frugality. One pair of shoes should do the trick! Zip, zip, zip, click, click, snap, snap, lock, lock, lock! There, all packed and ready to go. Better check with E-CCO, we’re on a schedule. I can just feel that caribbean sunshine on my shoulders and taste that sumptuous frozen strawberry-coconut foo-foo. Yoo-hoo, over here darling, I’d like some SPF-72 slathered on my…….DING, you’ve got mail…..
My e-docs are here. Yippee! It may not be as fun as when DHL delivers them, but I’m doc-dancing all the same! I’ve always dreamt of doing my celebratory dance with a football goalpost. This is such a special day, I’m going to sneak into Soldier Field (da Bears home) and shimmy on up to the pole. Better bring my hair-dryer to warm that bad-boy up a little. Shouldn't be anyone here since EVERYBODY is down in Miami for the big game. Man-oh-man it's cold here - minus 2....but the sun is shining bright. Better not have any "equipment malfunctions" today - gotta make sure these tassles stay in place.......no J-Lo here....... Just turn on my 8- track player, close my eyes, and start dancin'
Frozen Lt-HR (still humming that RCCL jingle) looks around, finding nobody here, bundles up and heads out of the stadium. Well, it felt good to me, but I should have had someone video-tape it. Nobody will believe what I just did. I can see it now, fireworks bursting in the sky, the Blue Angels flying overhead and Ka-blewie! Streaking across the sky is a small figure in what appears to be dress-whites, arms flailing, 5" high-heels dangling from her painted toes and now SCREAMING the RCCL jingle.
What the…..a startled Lt-HR is shaken from under her warm covers, awakened by – wait a minute, there aren’t any fireworks or jets flying overhead. Oh, the Ignominy of it all……don’t tell me I was only dreaming!
A giant alligator tear forms on Lt-HR's cheek as she slowly awakens. Oh, E-CCO, Captain, SC, E-CRO.....you would not believe the dream that I just had. You were all in it along with the crew, and it was the most wonderful dream ever. I've always thought that there's no place like the MOS, and now I realize it even more.
In less than a week, so many of our crew will be meeting F2F and embarking on an excellent adventure. We can't join you, but believe me....we're with you in spirit.
