I recieved news this morning that I am medically cleared for employment for work with Norwegian Cruise Line.  So, after a tedious and expensive process...more waiting!  :)  I'm happy with that...the hiring process is just about over and now I'm just waiting to hear back from my recruiter about a departure date for training in Hawaii.  I don't mind the wait @ this point.  All I can really say is "WHEW...!"  5 months on @ a time with no days off - bring it, baby ;)

Hopefully this day will get better.  I had a check that I needed to stop deposit on and I think it went into an overdraft account that I'm having trouble with.  I'd hate to lose all of that work - well I'm about to find out in about 20 mins when the bank opens.  They really don't want me to go into the branch, which is inside of a Kroger - in front of God and everyone else who needs to buy milk and bread today.  I went over due to an emergency, about 16 bucks...now I owe how much? 287 and some change?  GTFOH....crazy.  Anyway...it's not the end of the world, just may be the end of our relationship.  They have screwed up on everything since I opened that account and are hardly willing to show any overdraft forgiveness.  And it was an emergency, at that!  We'll see what happens.  I really dont need the account and they'll never know where I keep my pot 'o gold, haha!

On to other things...I found out that I don't need the STEWARD rating on my MMC, or Merchant Mariners Credential.  I just need the OS/WIPER rating, so that saves me and probably a few other people some trouble.  I had to send a letter to the NMC requesting that the request for the particular rating be removed and then recieved a reply this morning stating that my request had been forwarded.   Hopefully I'll hear something back sometime today.  I'm anxious to have this thing in my hands, already...

Have a good day, it's time to get on with it~
