Its
been years since I had changed my wall paper and background on my computer ,
and now I guess is the time I changed it to a more abstract painting. Before I
used the Painting type of wallpaper I got (or copied) from a computer game
called "Civilization 5" . Now I changed it and copied the artwork
from a fan made faction from a computer game called "Stellaris"
(another strategy type of game by the way). Id, post it here on my blog the
wall papers.
Anyway
…
I'm
writing about now about my situation here, and standard of living conditions
and I could pretty much concluded that my situation here has similarities on
what happened to me back in the "Eagle Boston" incident way back
2016. Here the only notable difference is that this ship is new and that I'd
had been on constant at odd's which a shitty crew member called Pump man
Carnaje. Beyond that I could say that living / working conditions here are not
pleasant. First I would mention here is the food here is insufficient , to the
point that I'm technically losing weight as of the moment while writing this -
its possible that maybe after this contract I would be a "slim" again
because of food shortages.
There
is the problem on food not because of the chief cooks skills , but the supply
given by this "Hartree" principal (he owner of this ship). The do
give the "regular" three meals a day but anything beyond that is
zero, So basically I mostly end up feeling hungry every early morning or
sometimes in other cases , late at night. There is also another option called
the "Bond Store" were I had to pay some food as a supplement to my
nutrition needs, but unfortunately here on this ship they don’t regularly
resupply it and was always basically empty. The only thing left in the bond
store is basically cola which not very good for nutrition. There's another
option which I could get food once this ship gets to land and have a shore
leave there I could buy from the local food store, even a local convenient
store is invaluable on this situation, but unfortunately this ship is a VLCC
type and most likely given on its nature of operations , there almost no
possibility that this ship will berth at port anytime soon or even if it does -
there's no guarantee that it will provide shore leave to crew. To compound more
of the problems with this option is that for some reason this ship does not
given "Cash Advance" of any kind - meaning they don’t cash to crew at
all which would be used to purchase items from a food store,
So
basically my situation here is totally fucked up with no way of getting any
supplementary food for my nutrition, and I have no choice but totally endure
this situation for another 4 months (the least, worst is 5 to 6 months). In
just hope I still have meat on my bones left on that time.
Another
problem plaguing this ship (and principal) is the regular supply of PPE and
working equipment. Every company has in mind to keep their expenses at a
minimum level or probably very low , but to the point that regular issuing of
PPE and working equipment is jeopardize - I don’t think it’s a good idea. For
example working glove here are not issued regularly and that I'm stuck with
only four pairs of cotton gloves for three months now (and still ongoing). I
had to rewash that gloves regularly as to keep it clean, which in normal
practice shouldn’t be because working gloves , in particular cotton gloves are
meant as disposable PPE and shouldn’t be reused. It’s a good thing that I had
extra working equipment brought along with me when I arrived here to supplement
my working needs.
