today i submitted my official request for a contract extension. if granted, i'll disembarking on october instead of july. staying on board 3 extra months is a bit daunting for sure, but at least i'll be able to spend christmas and new year at home.
my letter included two other requests as well. if those are granted then i'm looking at a very challenging third contract with holland america.
i received a compliment from our hotel manager this evening.
on my way to check on a 911 call, i ran into him. i greeted him and went on my way. halfway down the hallway, i heard his voice behind me. i didn't realize he'd followed me.
hm: pia, when does your contract end?
me: july
hm: that's good. you'll be here a while.
me: there is a chance i may extend.
hm: even better. we need people like you on this ship.
it's good to know that my work doesn't go unnoticed.
this has been circulating in our office email so i decided to look for it online. it was written by mrs. mullin, one of my suite guests from a few cruises ago. just thought i'd share it with all of you.
