I know, I know....

I know, I know that I promised that I would write more often and not fall into the "ignore the blog" trap when I onboard. BUT if you have ever worked a day on a ship, then you would understand.

I have been onboard nearly a month now and this has been the busiest first month I have ever had. Not that there's a lot of BIG things happening but more like 1000 small thins happening ALL THE TIME. And if you are in HR then you know that means a pile of paperwork sky high. It is super nice to see my dear friends again who have helped me to mend myself together after an emotional vacation. But it has also been difficult to see them. By the time 8pm rolls around and I am almost done work, I have little desire to do anything but sleep.

I have not been reading, I have not been meditating, I have not been working out. I don't like this. I am finding it harder and harder to balance my time with my workload. I had a few opportunities to go out and hang with friends but this usually leaves me very behind in my work. I still do not understand how I can possibly receive 50 emails an hour?! Don't people sleep?

But I need to find a way to get to the gym and read because i NEED to nourish my soul. Lucky for me this will be a short contract and I will have the whole summer off :)

Here's some photos of my contract so far.
