Just gotta say . . .

I really REALLY like my job!

I'm working at a major cruise line in the call center. Basically, I get paid to sit around and talk about cruises all day!

I get to help people make their once-in-a-lifetime vacation a reality.

I get to help people cross another item off their bucket list.

I get to help people celebrate an anniversary, a birthday, a Spring Break, a honeymoon, a Babymoon, or a "just because we deserve this" occasion.

Every single call I take is an opportunity to make someone's day, to learn more about the world, to expand not just my own horizons, but those of whoever is on the other end of the line.

I get to talk to people from all walks of life--the affluent, to whom cost is not a big concern; the middle, to whom cost counts but this is a special occasion so let's pull out all the stops within reason anyways; and the yearning traveler, to whom cost is big concern, but seeing new things means a lot and I'll just be in my cabin to shower & sleep so give me a place to lay my head and I'll be happy.

They're all special and interesting to me. I want to help them all have the best experience they can.

Humbling. And so satisfying.

Thanks, God.
