Today I spent 8 hours packaging cruise packages to ship to customers. I'd get the wallet (with the shore excursions, etc), add the cruise info, flight info, luggage tags, etc... and put them in DHL bags (or boxes for the large orders) and get them out.

So you did take the cruise job! Well at least you can get a discount on cruises if you wanted to. Fun stuff. :) I am glad that you had a good first day, my work has been crazy busy already with no end in sight. My head was literally spinning yesterday I had so many projects going all at once. Good luck with the rest of your first week!

Congrats on the new job. It sounds like a lot of work. Sorry we didn't reply earlier but we would love to do something with you for your birthday. The 2nd of July works better for us but hopefully we can see you before then too. We are going to Portland this weekend but we could do something during the week. What is your work schedule like?

By the way, can we get in on the cruise discounts too? ;)

Looks like you get them sent off and I meet them on the other end. I worked this summer in Juneau, Alaska and did kayak guiding for a lot of Holland America passengers.

That is cool. I spent a summer working in Holland America's call center... I think being a kayak guide would be cool... I'd love to go to Alaska sometime... perhaps on a cruise. Do you live up there or did you just go up there for the job?
