Its been a
long stressful day again., I did went thru the hurdle of struggling as a pseudo
A.B. here until I would get a chance to disembark ., Unfortunately it is to my
dismay that "Early Vacation leave" didn’t pushed thru as some work
politics here prevented approval (or somewhat sabotaged my efforts). I'm not
sure if chief mate "Ivan" had something to do why my vacation leave
was turned downed or it was the previous captain "douglas souza" . It
was ok before and the "office" even approved and agreed to send me
home by the time this ship will reach Ras Raffan, Qatar.
The newly
arrived captain Kolonovic from singapore, approached me yesterday during my work shift and wanted to know the
reason why I filed tha "early vacation leave" ., I replied saying
there is no particular reason and I just wanted to have an "early
vacation"
(officially,
that’s I would say just to avoid trouble here) ., while im still onboard and my
"personal safety" here is not yet Guaranteed. The truth and real
reason why I'm submitting that leave was because the environment here is very
uncomfortable to work with from the start and to complicate things here
furthermore is my co-workers both Filipino and non- Filipino nationalities have
poisonous personality. Bosun "jerry" is practically full of shit and
he doesn’t have the skills to have a normal conversation for three minutes
without pissing off people off.,
The same
situation goes the same also on the ship officer's specifically 2nd officer
amir ., who pushes people around. He always find fault on anything I do ., even
the most simplest and most non sense of things.
Recently
things with him went sour , and I didn’t started it. One day I was just simply
doing my usual routine on work and he then lashed out saying I'm not doing my
job right complete with shouts, intimidation and insults. I took all of the
brunt for the whole 3 hours and after that , I got fed up and confronted him
and said that if he's so frustrated in my work performance and find me
incompetent then he can replace me anytime as a watch keeper , after all im a
"riding crew" category and in the first place i shouldn’t be doing
this work in the first place.
2nd officer
amir feeling my annoyance and anger quickly changed his tone and just said that
he was just doing that for my own good. Honestly I don’t believe on any crap he
said and his just excusing himself from my retaliation.
