Nope I'm salary. I wish I could charge for every page though. I get paid around $1,300.00 every 2 weeks in cash. <_<

And speaking of working from the ground up. The Vice President of Carnival Corporation started out 30 years ago, when the company was brand new, as a bug exterminator on the ships. Now that is what I'd call moving up!

I don't get a check when I'm on vacation. The way they do it, is a small percentage of your pay on the ships is considered vacation pay, so a 6 month contract gets you 6 weeks off, and the time that you're off, you are already compensated for from the money you earned during the contract. I usually have between 8 - 9 grand saved when I get home from a contract.
My cabin is paid for by my department, and my officers uniforms are laundered for free. Food, and ass wipe is free. I have to do my own clothes, but the crew laundry room is free. Guest laundry is $2.00 a machine, per load but I don't ever use those machines. I just do my laundry when I know most people ar off the ship, or working.
I only pay Federal taxes, and they don't take out for Social Security. I also get all of my Federal taxes back, because my money is earned outside of the U.S. most of the time. Just got a fat check from the IRS. Enough to buy that LCE supercharged engine. ;)

:lol:  That's like those American Express credit card commercials. There's the one with the guy laying on the surgical table in the hpospital, on his stomach, and the doctor reaches into the gown. Looks like he's reaching into the guys ass, and comes out with a huge wad of cash in his hand. They all start saying, "He's got money coming out the whazoo". :lol:

Actually, I'm headed out right now. I'm meeting with the Golf Pro from the last ship I worked on. He's just cruising for a couple of days, and we're getting together with the Dancer's, and going out for the night. There is one Dancer here that seems to be interested in me, and has already said she'd spend time off the ship with me, but I get some mixed signals from her, and she never seems to have the time to get off the ship, when I have the time, except for tonight. Hmmmm... Maybe I'll test the waters tonight, and see how she reacts to it. <_<
