Do you like to be ridiculously cold for five months, surrounded by a horrible smell the whole time? Have I got a job for you!

      Maybe. But wouldn’t you rather be paid if you have to shit in an outhouse while endlessly smelling penguin shit for five months while you deal with a bunch of idiot tourists who think a cruise to Antarctica is a good idea?

        Nah, I do it for the love of the game. No need to sully it with greed.

            Where are you gonna spend your income in Antarctica anyway? I wouldn’t mind this. I worked on a cruise ship and, while I did get paid every week, most of the time was out at sea and since all the restaurants and shit on the ship were free to me, I wasn’t spending a dime until my contract was up and I went home.
