5th December

I'm in port manning today. It means you can't get off the ship - where am I going to go!!? To get off the ship today you have to get a life boat to take you to shore!
I feel ok cos' were not moving. It's sooo cold in the salon - it's freezing all the time. I worked out you get about US$2.30 or $3.30 an hour plus 15% commission and tips. So on a good day I could earn - oh about US$6.30 per hour working 12 hours! I'm on my lunch break. I'm really
looking forward to going home. Not feeling sick, waking up in daylight, wearing my normal clothes, drinking water, eating good food,not constantly moving, wearing my hair down and messy,talking on the phone so many things that are so small but make a big difference. Not wearing stockings! I hate wearing stockings and this filthy skirt. It hasn't been washed - it's been over a week! The spa manager reminds me of my flipped out x house mate, on a power trip wanting me to wear this skirt - well I can't very well wash it when I'm wearing it can I! He wouldn't allow me to wear the other skort thing , where it like shorts from the back and a skirt at the front. One and a half days to go.
I know I should try and see God in everyone but until I get over the whole "You have so much money and this is how you spend it" thing I'm finding it difficult. I have to go wash my jocks now - in my lunch hour, in dirty water, by hand,in the bucket I brought from home - I can't wait till I leave.
There's so much in Australia I can do but there's not much I can do hear. Really. Well my necklace has raised a few religious questions so I guess that's good.
I gotta go wash. Hmmm...

9.35 PM
Well I got through another day. Makes it easier knowing that I'm going home the day after tomorrow and that I'll be in Australia in a few days. It's relaxing knowing that. I haven't got stressed out but I did get annoyed today with Jennifer the other hairdresser. She rolled her eyes and gave me a look when I told a guest that I'm getting off the boat. Well I didn't say why! But Jason had told me not to - I regretted it once I said it and changed the topic quickly.
Jason will probably have a "talk" with me tomorrow - Ah... What can he do? Put me off the ship? I wish!!!
I had 10 clients today and only made$445 and worked my ass off! 12 hours! How crap is that!!! Jennifer asked a lady today if I was doing her hair right, then she pipes up" DO you want me to FIX it for you?"
FIX IT!!! I was glad when the fussy ass woman said
"No she seems to be doing a good job". I shrug it off but thought I'll bring that one up in the next talk we have about being"professional" - honestly , This is a Joke.
