Chillin in Norway

Hello campers!
 
   Its day 1,000,000 of working here (Thats what it feels like) and we have arrived at my favorite place in Norway.  Olden.  Its my favorite because somehow I am able to get off the ship for a short time, but get off nontheless.  There are insainly busy days, and days that are marginally insaine.  Today, for example, I slept till 11:45, had a 2 hour lunch, then went to a shop across the street from the yacht, and bought some stickers and a nail clipper kit.  But at 3:45pm until midnight there is one thing right after another, and when i say right after another, I mean over-lapping each other.  So it will be a 15 minute dinner tonight in between the madness. 
 
  My co-worker/boss/friend Tim has finally gotten fed-up with the craziness, so his last day is this Sunday.  I havent heard one word from any of my bosses who will be replaceing him, but I have made it exceedingly clear that I will not do his and my job.  I wont even do his job.  They dont pay enough.  So hopefully someone is coming to replace him soon.
 
  The technical manager for the company is here from Miami today.  He got here Saturday and he leaves tomorrow.  He is here to update our inventory and basically to see what the state of the ship is in before Tim leaves.  He may be the one coming back if they cant find a replacement in time.
 
  The next cruise should be quite easy.  Some private American company is renting the boat for 9 days.  Which mean 60% less work-load!!!  YEAH FOR PRIVATE CHARTERS!
 
  side note.  I didnt think anyone could snore louder than me, but I have successfully found someone, and that someone is my freaking roomate!!!  WTF.  And since he works so late, he snores during the day.  ridiculous.
 
  Other than that...still getting to know all my co-workers, and they are all pretty cool.  But this place is like a traveling high school.  There is an incredible amount of drama, thankfully that I am not a part of.  I just hear it all the time. 
 
  Well thats abbout all I have for now.  I will be back on US soil in 2 months and 15 days.  I have already booked my trip home, thats how much I am looking forward to getting off this boat!!!
 
Miss you and love you all
 
Ciao!
