I am going home in 27 days
I am starting to get nervous now...i have become so accustomed to this way and these people and as unhappy as i am i am scared to face the real world again, have responsibilities.
Well Bobby is here..I am so excited, it is like being back in London for training all over again, we still take turns making tea at each meal, he is awesome.. taught him and Nicky how to box today cos i am busy taking all the classes cos they don't know how to do everything.
My feet are in such pain once again, it has now moved to my knee on one leg so I am going to the doctor tomorrow, I can barely spin and Yoga is painful..
had a fight with my manager on Sat night...what's new, she blamed fitness for losing keys that the whole Spa uses. Spoke to the big boss Tim yesterday and gave him a piece of my mind, i told him that I do not agree with the manager calling her staff "bitches and Dickheads" and I don't agree with how things are run around here. It is also hard having to train new people all the time as we can't get into any kind of rythm. So i feel better..
Tonight Bobby, Justine and I went to go watch the show 'Marquee' then went to Olive or Twist that is is a bar that overlooks the occean on the 14th level of the ship. We then went to the chapel and Bobby "married" Justine and I at the alter. got back tot the cabin and our 2 american friends Melissa and zanna were making 'Smores' which is lighting marshmallows, then squashing it between 2 honey buscuits that already have a piece of choc on it.. it is aparrently a big american tradition when they go camping, i feel ill from all the choc now..
tomorrow Justine and I are off all day so we are going to Lunch with all the dancers.

Freedom turns 1
Freedom of the Seas is 1 year old. we had a big party in back deck to celebrate, went very well only got home at 5am, Leo and Ryan stayed over, they are 2 dancers, Ryan is Justines new boyfriend on the ship, Leo is the the tumbler in the shows, so he does all the backflips etc. Woke up at 6:45 for work, Spinning at 8am was a tough struggle, so of course had a massive sleep in my 2hrs lunch.
The new fitness girl Nicole is such a cow, you have no idea, she believes she was sent to this ship to fix everything and be a positive motivation for us. Ian is leaving on Sunday and i got word of who they are replacing him with, Bobby- he was in my training with me at Boot camp, I am over the moon, he is so fantastic, little Scotish guy.
More flowers were delivered to our room last night but still no name on the card, have no idea who they are from.
30 days Left!

Fun all around
Last night was sports night for the crew, so at 11pm we went up to the Rockwall and I tested my skills, Got up the first time and rang the bell, it felt so good it cramps your forearms so badly...second try I went up a slightly more challenging run, got within centimetres of the bell just could not get my foot on the last stone..
After 3 times my arms and fingers were so tired and shaking so we moved on to the Put Put course, So much fun playing golf on the top of a ship in the middle of the ocean.
Rebecca managed a hole in one on the last hole.
Today was very quiet and I felt bushed from the other night at Kyle's birthday. That was so much fun, Went to Portifino's for dinner which lasted till midnight, from there we went to Vintages to have our famous wine flights, then on to Back deck to party some more..the party moved to Kyle's cabin where we all sat in the corridor having drinks and a laugh. Got to bed at 4:20am so I was not a happy camper on Thursday morning.
We are getting a new fitness on Sunday named Nicole from Canada. I can't wait to get home. My boss phoned today in a panic cos he "heard" via the grapevine that me and Ian also want to quit. I obviously denied it but said that I was unhappy with a lot that is going on.
The bunch on this week are all Jewellers that won the trip cos they reached the target in thier specific areas, so they are pretentious, rich snobs who don't tip and won't buy anything.. so another low week with regards to retail. I don't like the person i am becoming, I am starting to become a true Steiner which means when someone comes into a consultation with me I look at thier watch, rings, sunglasses and shoes to judge how much money they have to see how much I should recommend to them, that is soooo bad, I am a horrible person, I am not even caring about thier needs..it is time to go home.
Well 5 more embarkations and Beryl here we come...........

New news
Well i have come to realize that this company is up to maggotts! the product i am selling does not work. I am basically lying to everyone and manipulating them into spending thousands of dollars on junk.
The manager is getting worse, there are so many more rules which include that the fitness are not allowed to drink water in the gym, we have to hide in a cupboard if we want a sip.
We are doing 3 free classes a day and getting paid on average $3 for 6 hours of spinning during the week.
Our schedule has been taking away from us. So the spa reception books our appointments and tells us when we must leave for lunch, which means we are neva allowed to take incentives, there is always some excuse.
There have been 10 resignations on this ship this week, and I know of 3 more next week. Says something!
So enough moaning as i have already made up my mind.
I rented a bicycle on Tuesday on Cozumel and went for a 2 hour cycle down the beach front. it was awesome.
Tonight we went to Portifino's for dinner cos it is Jaquelin's last week. Stuffed myself silly.
The gym has been so quiet this week, we have had no appointments. So this week we will all be in the dog house...AGAIN!!!
Can't wait to get home...in fact i can't wait to just get to Beryl's house, have a cup of tea a home cooked meal and lie on a couch watching a DVD! Stuff to look forward to.
Quite ironic how this ship is named FREEDOM however I feel more trapped and unhappy than I ever have.

Well...
Today is start of cruise 45. Very very slow embarkation, no appointments for tomorrow. quite an arrogant bunch of Americans this week. 1400 children again!
Got a Performance counselling warning today cos i was apparently talking on my cell phone on duty, however it was 10 minutes before i was starting work, my manager gets all excited over nothing! Oh well life goes on. the new rule is that we are not allowed to drink water in public anymore, we must go hide in the cupboard and have a sip, have you ever heard anything so stupid! We are fitness! Oh and if we don't clean to her standards we will get a written warning! The pettiness is getting really pathetic now. I have never seen a company run so badly.
last night was my best friend Amy's birthday, we went to Vintages and she brought a cake. It was an awesome evening except that I forgot my name badge so security reported me to my manager this morning..seem to be getting into a lot of trouble lately hey?
Well I am hoping for a huge week so hold thumbs for me!

MOMS BIRTHDAY
2nd April- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER DEAR
can't believe it is already April. Bought 3 Guess bags yesterday, having a bit of a shopping spurt lately, have to remember to save, my wireless account is active so at least I can start sending money home, then i won't have any to spend, good idea!
1400 children on board this cruise and 700 Spanish speaking people so i'm busy learing Spanish.
I can say a little bit and i can count to 7! doing well!
Still can't get internet up and running in my room so I have been going through withdrawl from not listening to 94.7!!!! Hooked on Marjong though and my Roomy and I have both seasons of Desperate housewives so we been watching that each evening.
Started the Detox program today, I figured it would be easier to sell something that I have tried myself, also I need to get off the desserts!!
One more month until the ship changes course, can't wait, the shopping in St Martin, San Jaun and St Thomas is apparently amazing. We are also having an African American charter in July almost the same as the gay cruise where they take over the ship, they are even brining on thier own fitness team so I gues i'm going to have a slight holiday week that week..
Living with my new roomy is awesome, I have loads more energy and not so drained each morning when I wake up.
I do apologize in the delay of updating my travels, wil try be more consistant...
