The PSSC wasn’t all it could be as they inspected things unseen
From right to left they left a mess
Turned our hopes inside out and in return we became stout
Things that needed doing were done and in the end it almost felt like we won
I was in the control station manning a nation
Busy busy a rush of dizzy; a flurry of furries; a sighting of lightning!
In and out my throat was a drought and my brain a bout
But through the fire and mire I crawled into the choir
Ok, enough rhyming, I got it out of my system, sorry. Basically, the PSSC didn’t go very well at first, but towards the end it was okay. We are very close, and within the next couple weeks the surveyors are coming back to finish up some inspection on a few unchecked items. So for now, we remain uncertified. I was on watch and during the day I was on the Bridge (Central Control Station) and there were a ton of people in and out of there. The surveyors even spent a whole day up there doing things which I don't know how to explain because I don't know what they were!The electricians were up there most of the time working on getting important things done such as the fire door system and the VDR (a hard drive that stores all the little things about a voyage). I was also on the bridge during a drill and had to page the whole ship to go to fight the fake fire, and then help coordinate the people going to fight the fire.
I have been fighting a cold all week too, and it’s not a whole lot of fun, but that’s life! The cold kind of took away a lot of motivation to do things early in the week, but come Tuesday I was back to Swing Dance and Basketball on Wednesday. I am feeling way better the past couple of days. Thanks for the prayer and support through this past week, and please continue to pray that our ship gets the certificates so we can sail soon!
