It’s the 3rd week for me working here, every single day is hard work. From 11 hours of scheduled hours, my working hours can be more than that, or less if I’m in luck. Day by day, my seniors gave me tips to work here, even the guest too. Most of them said “don’t work [...]

It’s the 3rd week for me working here, every single day is hard work. From 11 hours of scheduled hours, my working hours can be more than that, or less if I’m in luck.

Day by day, my seniors gave me tips to work here, even the guest too. Most of them said “don’t work too hard” and “you still have 9 more months to work”.

It made me confused, what am i supposed to do?

Now I’m in the process of adjusting my daily life. I want to work hard as usual, but be smarter. Only do what the job description said, and maybe a little more “extra mile” if needed.

And I’m starting to insert another activities to have fun, like going to crew gym with friends, watching DVD’s provided by the HRO, go ashore every time i have a chance, attending crew events like crew party, crew show, praying, and another social activities.

It’s been 2 weeks since I started to work onboard Ms. Nieuw Amsterdam. A big elegant vessel of Holland America Line.

The first week, I only feel excitement and tired all day. And always got some confussions too. Even I lost for several times here .

In the second week, I started to understand the workflow and the system. Now I can enjoy working with all the spirit and knowledge I have.

Ahhh.. I forget to mention that my function now is Dinning Room Runner (DRU), but I don’t know why in my working contract is ASL. So my main workspace is in the Main Dining Room (Manhattan Dining Room), and sometimes on duty in The Lido Restaurant, Gangway duty, Linen Duty (with Laundry/HK dept.)

DRU is a new system in HAL, so no wonder if we need to be trained first in the first weeks. But I hope everything will be okay and going as planned.

Yosh… ganbatte!! (#`Д´)σ
