miami to mobile to miami to l.a. to miami lol
so i am the youngest corporate trainer and the only one that hasn't worked on a cruise line before so all this shit is brand new to me. a lot of technical naval terms to learn ,that gives me a freakin headache. i'm training with 2 other canadian girls, an australian girl and a jamaican one. i met the president of the company on monday and the vp yesterday, they're pretty laid back and it seems like the whole company is pretty much like that. they have some wicked incentives for staying around with the company. oh yeah and for those of you who are all of a suddent my best friends hahahhah i do get discounts on cruises and hotels and stuff but that comes after half a year with the company. my parentals get to cruise for free 3 weeks out of the year (little bro, if you're good to mom and dad when i am away, you get to come too). friday i was suppose to be off to L.A. for my shipboard training but due to some coast guard rules they can't fit all of us on the ship right now so i am getting sent to mobile, alabama. they got some crazy rules gwonin already, like i can't speak any other language but english while i am on board and i have been warned against all the married italian and spanish captains cause i am supposedly prime target cause i'm a blondie. i have to get certified in all sorts of stuff like safety and crisis management, teaching english etc. good thing the passing mark is 86%!!!! i'm getting spoiled cause apparently since i am a manager, someone else does my laundry and cleans up my cabin. carnival head office is pimping, its got everything in it including its own gym with personal trainers and its own bank. yestserday i went to a miami heat vs toronto raptors b-ball game and as you may have already guessed i was the only person cheering for toronto. not only do i owe my friends beer now, i was mortified cause we got creamed and i almost got my ass whooped for cheering on the non-miami team. anyways, i am off to alabama on saturday for 9 days, back in miami for 2, off to L.A. for 2 weeks then back to miami.....dang!

wives duties
Wives duties
Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. Terry had married a woman from America, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done at their house. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.
Jimmie had married a woman from Australia. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the house cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was better.By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.
Paul had married a Canadian girl. He boasted that he told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone
down and he could see a little out of his left eye. At least enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the dishwasher, and call a landscaper.
God Bless Canadian Women

How to live life
The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many
hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mrs.. Jones, you haven't seen the room ... just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied.
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged...it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it "It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones
that do?
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account: you withdraw from what you've put in? So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing. Remember the
five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
