There is
not a day here that goes by that I am bombarded by scolding on my co-workers .,
From what it looks like , they always annoy me by constantly finding faults on
almost anything I do.
Being here
is a very big mistake on my career and now I find myself arguing over a very
trivial matter on board - Shoreleave.
I have been
a sailor for almost 8 years now and this is the only one on those years that I
find myself arguing over a trivial matter which is shore leave. Back then on my
previous company ., the management there always encourages people to go on
shore leave every time their ship berths, - BUT HERE it looks like that they're
detaining crew here as much as they can.
On the
morning , I saw a memo laying around on the crew mess saying that those who
wanted to go to shore leave in south korea can write their names for
"Scheduling" and is subject for
approval from HOD. Without haste I wrote my name for the list, thinking
it would be no big deal about it. Later in the afternoon while I was in the
locker ., BOSUN "Jerrymine" gave me a lecture that next time before I
write my name on the list., that I should ask permission first from him. I
replied that if going on shore leave is such a big deal then I could simply
erased my name , and it won't be a problem anymore.
For some
reason , BOSUN "Jerrymine" sensed my dismay and annoyance over the
shore leave issue and said that I couldn't just simply write my name off. It
was a bit long conversation just to tell him that I'm pulling out my name in
the list. Conversation went anyway that
my name wasn’t retracted.
Despite
that my shore leave request will push thru in south korea., I had already lost
interest and the only reason why I'm just riding this was just to avoid any
more trouble and making it more complicated. Whether or not my shore leave
request will push thru doesn’t matter ., I just lost interest over it and
dismayed that a simple shore leave here would be such big trouble.
A few days
went by and I didn’t even bother to sign the shore leave request ., and kept
persuading BOSUN "Jerry mine" to drop my name on the list and kept
making excuses on how to pull out my name. I signed the paper later on just for
sake of avoiding more escalating trouble or my dismay with Bosun "jerry
mine" and the working policies here.
Something
tells me on the back of my mind that my upcoming shore leave will be very
miserable and be just better off sleeping on my cabin instead.
