So what can I say about today? Not much really came on shift and waited for some work to start then the weather started to increase and now looking out the window it looks unlikely we will be doing any work today or tomorrow, I guess we may go to anchor shortly.
Still reading a lot on here and Dray Prescot is some serious pulp fantasy that is available on Kindle.. So far I have read 21 novels and on book 22 right now.. Not bad considering I didn’t start reading these novels until March this year! Things that make life bearable offshore –
MP3 player
Laptop
eReader (AKA Kindle)
Munchies
Things I miss –
Everything! Mostly Angel and the Hounds though 🙁 Not long now though as just about half way through my trip, I have however just found out that the next bunch of guys may be even worse than this lot! I really hope I do not have to return to this vessel.
Managed to get my Alienware to boot Linux, just had to turn off the integrated video card (seems Linux can not deal with hybrid setups 🙁 ).
Gave Angel a ring on the phone today (after trying for an hour to get through) and had a good chat, hope I get the next shift off as I could do with a good sleep and I don’t seem to be getting one during the day 🙁 Oh well.. Best get back to it I guess before someone starts to mutter and moan about nothing happening (even though down for weather).
Sounds like your last 2 weeks will be hell just like first 2 weeks… if what they say is right about the next bunch of guys.. time will tell.
Do what you have been doing this trip keep your head down… fingers (and everything else) crossed you won’t have to go back to this vessel.
Not bad the amount of books you’re getting through… can you imagine taking that many in your bag it would weigh a Ton (not that it doesn’t anyway) LOL
We miss you loads to.. and yes I am a softy at heart regardless of what others might say LOL
