The Worst Experience Ever

I got a degree in dance. Jobs that pay in dance are zero to none. My teacher in college recommended me for a dance troupe for a cruise company, and I made the cut. Seven month contract, mostly at sea, with nothing but queers. My roommate turned out queer too. She shut me out from the beginning. Your not supposed to fraternize with the guests. I was on the helideck alone and this man showed up.

He wanted to talk, just hello, where are you from. In less than five minutes I broke down and told him how miserable I was, and how the queers stuck together and shut me out. He offered to get me off the boat, break my contract. I didn't go back to my room that night. The next day he met with my boss and asked for them to let me off. He would cover any costs. I left my job without a job. Except him. I got a job at his company as a trainee. In anything.

My experience with all those queers on that job was the worst experience. I wasn't one of them, so I wasn't worth talking to.
