Its
already the month of march now , and a few more months of waiting , all my
efforts and hardships will soon be rewarded. If my contract tells me correct ,
my stay here on this crappy ship will only be up to June and after that - that
big plane home and probably deliver that "retribution" thing I really
wanted.
For
now I have to be patient , and continue my struggle and it won't be long till I
get the hell out of this. Aside from the contract due date, There's also an
option called "Early Vacation" thing . Although its unofficial, I'm
also aiming for that goal to be at least home by May (a month earlier than the
contract deadline), I'm not entirely sure If this principal grants it , but I'd
take my chances in submitting an "early vacation" request rather than
do nothing and endure all that bullying and harassment.
Speaking
of "Early Vacation" request, I had already finished making a request
letter for it and already gave it to A.B. Noel , so that both of us can submit
it to the captain , simultaneously. I'd figured that our claim of having an
early request would be more valid if there is more than one person submitting
this kind of request. The more people involved in it , the higher the chances
that it will be considered and probably be approved.
Initially
there were four of us who wanted to have an earlier vacation , Me, A.B.
"Noel" , Fitter and Mess man. Unfortunately Mess man's request didn’t
materialized because of the schedules we were requesting, which leaves him out
. So basically now there's three of us left.
Me
and A.B. Noel had been discussing this for several days now and had several
delays before deciding to submit it (which I assume that probably
"Noel" was not experienced dealing with this early vacation leave
thing) , then on the day that were finally going to submit it , it was delayed
again because fitter on the last minute decided to submit his request and join
up. I don’t mind the delays, besides the more people joining in on this
objective , then the better. In any case
hopefully "Noel" is able to submit it by now and honestly we are
running a bit late on the schedule of submission., I'm going to check later
just to ensure that the request was really submitted
