this is really funny. enjoy.

from an unexpected source

i received a compliment from our hotel manager this evening.

on my way to check on a 911 call, i ran into him. i greeted him and went on my way. halfway down the hallway, i heard his voice behind me. i didn't realize he'd followed me.

hm: pia, when does your contract end?
me: july
hm: that's good. you'll be here a while.
me: there is a chance i may extend.
hm: even better. we need people like you on this ship.

it's good to know that my work doesn't go unnoticed.

a fun poetic note from a guest

this has been circulating in our office email so i decided to look for it online. it was written by mrs. mullin, one of my suite guests from a few cruises ago. just thought i'd share it with all of you.

weekend round up

• for the first time in my life i'm hoping and praying that what i want for myself is the same thing that God has in store for me. sana tugma.
• kathy troccoli is one of my suite guests. i met her this afternoon and acted like such a fan. the cabin steward witnessed out entire exchanged and laughed so hard when we were done.
• this is so true... although it's good for the ego (c'mon, let's be honest) to have a number of suitors, if it's not the right person it just doesn't matter.
• although this is a relatively easy cruise so far, i can't wait for it to be over.
• i cannot believe that i am midway through my contract. in a couple of months we'll be crossing over to the baltics and i'll be visiting europe for the first time!
• i really appreciate how people have been looking out for me the past couple of days... even those i wouldn't expect. it's like they know i need the support.
• when i was younger, i really believed that i could hide the sadness in my eyes. and although others told me that they saw it, i never did. now that i'm older, i do see the sadness in my eyes. other people just think i'm tired from work.

May today there be peace within...

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

This prayer was included in one of those forwarded messages and I wanted to share it with you.
