Heads up, 2 months in on Ship #3 (Since september)
8 years ago
So yes as you guys know I am working on another ship...simply because the company actually took the time to hear out my frustrations after i did amazingly well on a fill in contract on their current flagship.
So they gave me a little raise which causes me to break even after my agent and taxes gets a cut, and the band I'm currently with is incredible AND the contract is 4 months instead of 6 or 7 months.
I should be back home in January just in time for NAMM, (maybe) FWA, MCFC and BLFC and AC if I can afford it.
The downfall is I'm playing on electronic drums for 4-5 hours for 5 nights a week on 6 day cruises or 7 nights a week on 8 day cruises as this ship does 6 and 8 day cruises....and due to that I'm showing signs of carpal tunnel so as soon as I get home I HAVE to get my hands checked.
