Hi Jermaine,

Sleep? You don't get to sleep! Just kidding, you might consider Royal Caribbean for your employment. More international staff to work with and learn from. I have heard some interesting stories here about Piney point, check out this post on the subject:

Join the Navy.

You'll probably have more free time and have a skill you can actually use when you get out.

Different opinons were expressed, but it sounds like a life changing experience. Do you think they would hire a retired female with a facelift and energy of a 25 yr old. Lol

I feel awful that a song by the Village People comes to mind.

I may be a little slow but were they openly gay or does it just seem that way?

Now that you mention it, the cruise staff and dancers did a medley tribute to them that I thought was just a little too enthusiastic.
