EMPTY HANDED


As expected the following days from my last contract have been difficult, since the arrival of the two new shit bag crews (Chief mate "Ivan" and Bosun "Jerrymine") . As soon as they arrived the new bosun immediately set to work on putting more harsh policies likes less time on water breaks and such,

During unmooring time, on India. I saw on my very eyes that he's the typical harsh type of Bosun by always yelling at people. I haven't seen those types of Bosun in years but now I'm seeing one and I'm filled with disappointment over it.

For short he's a dick.

In other more bad news for me,

It was lucky fort me that I was still in the crew TV room when the Qatari deck cadet spoke to Bosun "Jerrymine" that the X-box Gaming console on the officers Tv room was missing. I didn’t bother to get into the details about the missing X-Box but it is apparent that they know it's already missing.


March 10, 2018 Saturday EMPTY HANDED

I went to full panic and quickly headed to my cabin and planned on how to deal with the X-box on my possession. I was thinking that as soon as its discovered, a follow up cabin to cabin search will soon follow. I couldn’t think straight at that time ., and was totally spooked. I went in and out of my cabin a number times just to check if the place was clear.

Then an insane plan hit my head ., rather than dealing on how to hide the X-box on my possession, why not think of a method on how to "dispose" of it properly without a trace ? No evidence to point to me that I'm planning to steal it and take it home on my house. The first initial though that came to me was throw it at sea immediately which I think was a bright idea.

So I took a black garbage bag on my locker and stuffed the whole merchandise in it and waited for a couple hours. During the waited , I also thought that even if I wasn’t caught having an X-box on my cabin , I would be caught having a Nintendo Wii device instead , so as much as I hate I had to include the Nintendo Wii on the garbage bag for disposal , along with all its accessories.

At around 10.30 Pm I looked outside the deck area to see if everything was clear and check if the CCTV's were no pointing on the direction which I would dispose the garbage bag. I threw in a long throw and the garbage bag went directly overboard to the sea and that was the end of it.,

I slept calmly knowing that the trouble has past and assured that this problem will no longer trouble me., Although I admit , I will be going home without a treasure trove around of videogames (empty handed for short) but considering the risk of discovery - it's worth that I should literary throw this one directly at the sea. 

LONG 52

February 28 2018 Wednesday LONG 52



Two new shit bag crews have arrived as expected, One is Chief mate "ivan" and the other is the new Bosun. I warned earlier (or have been hearing rumors) that these two will be wreaking havoc on this ship and will be giving a crew a hard time while they're here. 

Fortunately for me I have only around 60 days or so here on this ship , So I have only to deal with them in roughly two months - so practically I have to sit tight and wait for the shit storm to pass.

For the moment its already been 48 hours since they arrived from Las Raffan, Qatar and there's already starting to crash the house., Bosun "Jerimy" his lordship has already decreed that I will be transferred from doing day work to the bridge (which plainly means deck watch keeping)., hmpf lordship didn’t even bother to ask me yes or no on that and simply said the conversation is over . Wow ??? Talk about one way conversation. Fine by me doing bridge watch keeping but with these perfectionist company and perfectionist crew running around here., Its just a waste of time and effort ,

Anyway since I signed the contract and it's still valid for the next 60 days ., I'm stuck with this kind of management till I signed off. Apparently from my guess things are going to get a hell lot worse as time goes by , and I had a bad feeling that these 60 days or so for me will be very long for me. Things were doing fine for me when Bosun Berlix was in charge but he's not around anymore and shifted back being an A.B. , So that leaves me sorting my shit out on this problem and dealing in with a more shitty Bosun like jerrymine. And to add aside from doing the full scale work of an A.B. , I'm also dumped in doing all the manual work now , like washing the laundry for the whole crew - WITHOUT LAUNDRY ALLOWANCE (or any form of monetary compensation for my efforts).  

If my math is good and help arrives at least on the 25th of April., I have at least 52 days to worry about , but if things get worst like help arrives on the first week of May., I have a grueling 70 days more to sit tight on this predicament. Any of these options is still a long way to go for me to manage but I have no choice but deal with it.

So after enduring this crappy contract ., no more hanging around on shitty Arab principals for me  and absolutely no "uwak" officers (which is a must). Any company who will mention these two will absolutely be dropped off on my list PERIOD and I will make no further attempt in even considering looking for work on those kinds of companies.
