Boiling Water is a Hot Commodity

Exciting news everyone! My new roommate Colin (alto sax) found an electric kettle in his old room when he was moving out! This means I can now make coffee in my room! Huzzaaaahhhh! Strictly speaking, devices of this nature are not allowed, but many people have them anyway. Considering my me has a full sized coffee maker in his room, I'm not super worried. I just have to remember to hide it in my closet on cabin inspection days.
I've also been handed down a delightful sealy pillow, a vacuum and of course a colossal room with a couch. I now live like a king.

My muster station leader told me today that the fleet chief was on board today. This is the guy who is in charge of aaalll the Royal Caribbean ships. He was here to make sure we were following all of the correct procedures for emergency drills and was displeased to discover that not even our chief safety officer knew all of the new procedures. Oops... I'm just hoping everyone up on the bridge knows what's going on and that there aren't any rogue icebergs floating through the caribbean.

I've been kind of sick with a cold the past few days, which is unique because I hadn't had a cold in almost two years. Today didn't help the situation, because the weather gods decided to pee all over mardi gras today and I got soaked all the way through on my way back from lunch in the French quarter. Then, before I had time to fully dry off and warm up I had to go to the passenger drill which involves standing outside with no jacket for 45 minutes. I've got my pjs on now though and have a nice 2 hour break to look forward to before rehearsal. Maybe I'll watch a couple more episodes of seinfeld and test out my new pillow.
