Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I declared in Bitches a while ago: I'm planning to come again to the U.S. next year, from mid-October to the beginning of November. I'm hoping to get a job real soon so I'll be able to afford it.

And I'd love to meet lurkers as well.

Do you know which cruise line you might go to work with? I do a fair amount of work aboard ships and there is a small chance we could cross paths. Currently it looks like I'll be out for around 6-8 weeks scattered between February and July and I'll be on 4 different ships.

Princess! I haven't been offered a job yet, and I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel good about it.

Thanks for the welcome back, everyone!!

Our wings are not tired

Cool. I've sailed on a Princess ship but I haven't done any work for them. I've done work for Disney, NCL and RCCL at this point.

I applied for positions on all those lines, but didn't hear anything back from them. My parents *think* they have sailed on Princess, but it was about a thousand years ago, they say, so they aren't 100% sure.

Punishingly Intricate

A friend of mine just started working on a cruise ship a few months ago and, from all accounts, is having a blast. I should find out what line she is on.

And what's with all the carrots?

De-lurking.

I realize my work travels during the last year to Washington State nearly every month could have been less lonely had I de-lurked and joined in!! The highlight was seeing Bev! Next stop, Spokane in November.

I tend to lurk in Bitches once a month or so, but otherwise keep to FB and LJ.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Nice to "meet" you, vroomvroom!

Hello. Laga...I believe we chatted some back on ND's and Pix diablo board?
