In Transit On The High Seas: Day Three
3/10: Spaaaaace Coaaaaaast!
My alarm woke me at 9:00, in time to call my contact in Finance, report progress, and confirm that the transactions were posting correctly on her end of things. Good. I then attempted without success to get back to sleep.
The ship is at Port Canaveral today, on the "Space Coast". I didn't bother going ashore, anticipating (incorrectly) that I'd be able to get more done on board. But I didn't have the keys to get into the machines I needed to work on! So I occupied my time by taking pictures, none of which I can yet post. There wasn't a lot to take pictures of, though; my main amusement was in testing my telephoto lens with pictures of NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building, a building so big it has its own internal weather systems. It turns out that with a 300mm lens (thanks to my sensor size, equivalent to 450mm) you can get a surprisingly close shot of the VAB from the port.
My day consisted of "testing" the video games, working on a couple of the units to repair some loose pins and some wiring, and that's about it. Bugger. I went to bed relatively early to try and catch up on some sleep.
I later discover that I had the keys to the machines the whole time.
