I had a very bad week at work, and idk if I will ever talk about it here. I no longer work there. I booked a cruise for next week.

last minute cruise deal, 9 days in Alaska, out of Seattle. Super cheap. My first cruise ever. I have absolutely no idea what I'm getting myself into.
The purpose is to spend time and evaluate my life choices.

If you are in Seattle long enough or at the right time and it's sunny make sure to check out Rainier at sunset from wherever you are. -- nm - . Sep 4, 04:31
sorry about the job. if the cruise stops in Ketchikan, go here for a t-shirt or some art -- (link*) - gort Sep 3, 23:22 1
- nice! -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 05:41
The cruise will be a blast. I took my Alaska cruise in September and the weather was perfect. I hope you get into Glacier Bay, - Bacon Sep 3, 21:29
Hey, I'm in Seattle on Monday! -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 3, 20:53 1
- I definitely won't be, but that's awesome! -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:59
wow, you enjoyed working there... when will you be in seattle? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 20:52 4
- arriving the 13th, no time to meet up with anyone. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 21:00
- I actually hated it! Loved working at Coast Guard, that ended in Feb 2021. Then got a higher paying job at DHS. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:59 2
  - I missed that news: Bacon/redmond said if you are seeing the glaciers then its worth getting a balcony room so you can see it without crowding... - zeitgeist Sep 3, 21:13 1
    - If you can afford it this is the way to go for sure -- nm - Bacon Sep 3, 22:52
have fun in Alaska! and good luck with work. -- nm - mafic Sep 3, 20:17 3
- I have great prospects, future is good. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:22 2
  - nice. if you stop in Vancouver and don't mind spending dumb amounts of money on food, go to Tojo's. still maybe the best meal I've ever had. -- nm - mafic Sep 3, 20:33 1
    - I tried to stop in Vancouver because I have two very longtime friends there, no go this time. But it's on my forever list. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 21:01
Good luck to you. Remember it will take a day or two get into “ vacation “ mode. - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 aka lady on the plane Sep 3, 20:09 1
- ;) Thanks for the reminder in your IM, very important. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:12
Sorry to hear. Have a great time on the cruise go do everything you can, and take time to relax as well. plus sunscreen -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 20:05
!!! have a very fun week. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 3, 20:01
Wait, what? You quit? Hope all is well…must’ve been a truly disastrous week. Sorry to hear and good vibes to ya - Flavorize Sep 3, 19:54 10
- "quit" is very specific, it was not like that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 19:56 9
  - Enjoy the cruise. Alaska is great, take lots of pictures and do lots of sketches. -- nm - Meg Sep 3, 19:59 8
    - any wardrobe advice? -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:00 6
      - Layers. Save room for shopping. It's the end of the season and stores will be liquidating before heading south for the winter. - Meg Sep 3, 20:07 5
        
        oh nice! -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:11 4
        
        The 2nd half of this album shows the cruise part of that trip. The first half is a 2-day Amtrak trip up the coast and a stopover in Portland. -- (link) - Meg Sep 3, 20:17 [flickr] 3
        
        gorgeous! this is getting me hyped! -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 20:21 2
        
        Looking back at those, looks like we were wearing puffy jackets on deck. I'm guessing you have a winter jacket? -- nm - Meg Sep 3, 21:24
        
        post some photos when you get back -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 21:23
    - hoping to do many sketches!!!! -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 19:59
