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.
