Right direction
A big step for a chamber maid
This is how my office looks. You can also say this is how my room looks. No complaints.
Soon I’ll be leaving Murnau.
On one hand cleaning bathrooms lost some of its charm, on the other hand I don’t want to leave.
Today I read that new recruits who sign up for the US army for at least two years will get twenty thousand US dollars. It’s appealing, not the twenty thousand, the US Army. It’s a change and for a chamber maid it is a big step in the right direction isn’t it?

Congratulations with the english edition of the jewish messias. A pity that they didn't use the image of the pelican especially since it is the symbol of sacrifying love.
One cannot help but wonder why there appears to be a significant amount of lipstick on your computer's trackpad.
Tax free
If that twenty thousand is tax free that would be a perfect option for me, because I need some serious money fast and I lost all morals anyway, and I think one gets used to killing people very quickly. Right now I'm practicing my shooting skills with computer games. It's refreshing.
I hope it's possible for Dutch citizens to join this program, as I wouldn't like to arrange an American passport or a visa for the States in the next two thousand years.
@Johannes
Recently I have read that the 20.000 $ is indeed tax free (for a two year contract). I would rather recommend you a contract with the numerous private companies (armies), like Halliburton for example, over there, they pay much, much better than the US Army, and no problems with passports. But do not get wounded…physically or mentally. Try this site

Then I advise you to become a sniper. As a mercenary you can make as much as 15000 euro a month.
Departing from a hotel room always leaves me melancholic, but then there is the excitement on entering a new space to stay for a while, a repetitive thrill.
What about a bounty hunter?
Johannes
The US Army is open for every healthy man or woman. Joining the US Army is a way to obtain citizenship, I’m afraid that private companies operating in war zones cannot get you an American passport.
Of course you can also marry an American woman.

What you think is lipstick is actually the residue of my dirty fingers. My fingers are very dirty, also because I like to touch the newspaper while reading it as if the newspaper is a lover. Often I go to bed with a newspaper.
Forgive me for being blunt but are you beautiful? Do you look Bavarian? Would you consider going to a restaurant with me in a dirndl skirt?
Manon
Excellent idea.
Johannes,
In return for a small commission, let's say 25% of your first month's pay, I 'm willing to make the contacts. After all your future is just one phone call away.
Johannes, did you give up teaching?
Johannes
I would recommend marrying an American woman.
Somehow becoming a military doesn't sound like moving into the right direction. While I thought the idea of you being a chambermaid funny and charming , imagining you as a soldier doesn't appeal to me at all.
Soldier
It's a lifechanging thing, being a soldier. But a US citizenship might be worth the pain.
Will you write in English, when you're an American?
Jan Thys, I am already mentally wounded, you should have known that by now.
Mieke, that's kind of you, please send me the details.
Tina, yes, I gave up teaching biology.
Oscar, I believe in marriage these days. Do you perhaps know if American women are good at scrubbing the floor?
Lieve
I’m not joining the army to humor you.
Is that word document your new novel? Is that open book your notebook? Is that white thing on your suitecase your underwear?
Johannes
Why biology? Or is this a way to not tell your real profesion? In that case i'm sorry, I'm not always that good at keeping secrets.
BTW you were named twice as a favorite teacher in my yearbook.
Tina H
Johannes is teaching biology privately to the most stubborn of his students, his friends and his neighbors.
