Home Stretch

Well tomorrow is my last day. I can't wait to be home. Although as soon as I get home, I turn around and get back on a plane to my fathers. My replacement is doing a great job. He will be a great asset to the Jewel. I am leaving things in good hands. It will be very interesting to see if the sound tech is still here when I get back. If he is still around it will be a miracle. I can't even begin to tell you how bad he can be at times. He has been running the shows for weeks now, and is still missing cues. It just sucks because at this time of the year it is dame near impossible to get someone out to replace him, and to boot the office is having a hard time finding techs.

Reminder to self, that I need to find a snow screen saver to send to the ship before Christmas!!!!!

Almost done

Well the first week of my handover is going great, it is almost to an end. Tonight's show is such a pain in the ass. The group is so unprepared. We thought we would be find, as we already had their show in the console, but when we came to rehearsal. We found out they were doing a completely different show. And to help make matters worse, they didn't even sing anything, it was only a sound check. I am so glad that my replacement knows what he is doing. Speaking of my replacement, is name is Andy, he is from Dublin, Ireland. Who knows we could be distant cousins.
We have had a great time, he is a hard worker, and we have gotten a lot of work done. We had one of the moving lights break just when he got here, It took us about 2 days to fix it. Not very much fun!

The End is in Site

Well tomorrow should be a very busy day. The day will start out with getting ready for Barbizon to visit the ship. That's a lighting vendor that we us the help us get things fixed. Then we have to sanitize the theatre, because too many people are getting sick. The big news is that my replacement gets on tomorrow. I hope he had a good time at martin training and learned a lot. I have heard that he had a lot of problems with hotels and the suck, so I am expecting him to be in a bad mood when he arrives, but at least he won't be jet lagged. He has been in the states for a week. I have two more weeks. I think most of my Christmas shopping is done. I have never done so much shopping. Some things should have already arrived at my fathers. I have nice big box of things to mail home from St. Thomas this coming week. Anything I can do to keep the luggage weight down. I found out that my friend Marie is working on the Freedom, so we are going to go to lunch my last Cozumel, should be nice to see her and ketch up on things.
