In-Port manning SUX. -aka- "tales from the Derk side&qu

[Derk Jyslexic]

right now, i'm stuck on "in port manning"
translation- the first overnight in 5 years, and i dont get to leave the ship ALL FRIGGING DAY!!!
st thomas USVI for anyone who cares.

.... i'm just wondering who to throw overboard right now.
<fukking BASTARRDS!!>
so at least i'm costing the company 12.50 /min while i sit in the office and type this out- as everyone else is off partying their asses off!!!!

/vent

anyway i ive become the defacto crewbar drive spinner...
and was wondering if anyone could recommend/send me any cool stuff..?

mp3 format would be cool- but i like playing stuff that noones ever heard of that you can jam to.
get em JUMPIN!!

anything else---
nah--
the last charter kicked my ass---
been running on 2.5 hours sleep the last week.
got some time to rest a little today <4 whole hours!!!!!>
then back at it..
i'm so wired right now i could light up a city...
probably vagas or tokyo.

think i'm going to go russle up some booze and a clove..
OOOOO while i'm here perhaps i'll print out the Dirtybongwater bot the bartenders..

i'll try to keep posting on here every few days...
i can usually sneak in late at night- but w/ this entertainment team- theyre always on the computer "working" <emailing the BF/Lover/GF/Wife/Husband/whatever shoreside..>
until now -ive been using my powerbook and bluetooth phone to do it..NO MORE!!!
besides- new team next week.
<ugh- just what i need.. the rabid wildabeast from hell>

wellthats enough for now--
need a drink.
they can keep me onboard, but they cant keep me from having a good time, w the assistance of an ashtray in a nonsmoking lounge, a pack o cloves and a bartender making dirtybongwaters!

derk

live me giberty or dive me geath!!!

May will be here soon enough, so don't fret too much. You could makea paper chain, so that you know when you are coming home. That's what I did for when i move out *Looks at her chain* dmn don't do that, it's depressing.

[iblis]

Where do I send it?

[Hardcoregirl]

ok-- its been a few days w/o sleep- so forgive my typing... but to say the least i cant b fukked to bother checking it...

ok--- sencond charter started sat..
damn charters suck--- they keep asking for more, then more then more..
give a mouse a cookie, they run the damn factory!

anyway--
slept thru part of boat drill...
no one has said shit to me about it..
yes, i know when i screw up, and i'll freely admitit.
hell
thru life everyone wants to take credit for your successes, so they may or may not be yours...
on the other hand- when you screw up no one wants to share the shitshoveling..

i digress
no one said anything to me.
good thing.
cause if they did- I would have kicked somone's ass.
i know i'm a bit of a insomniac
and thru the years i've found i rarely get a decent nights rest unless i've had a few days that kicked my ass, via work or... shall we say- recreation..?

anyhow--- if i'm sleep deprived, on a ship that normally has 1 person in my position, and this last week had 2
something is SERIOUSLY wrong.

/gripe

i'm in anitigua. need to get some time in on the rollerblades, eat food, shake a tower and try to sleep a little bit..

btw-
AMAZING to see the atlantic and the caribbean from the same vantage point..
i'll see if i can dig up a photo..
somone nicked my camera at the last deck party.
<i got all the pictures, and i wanted a new one... but i didnt want to replace it QUITE yet.>

the office told us to do a show last night that normally is saved for the last show of the cruise..
the idea being its a charachter bit..
hmmm....

itd be like seeing mel mel gibson put on a dress and sing "i'm a little teapot"
if you know him- its funny...
if you dont, its not.

we get to know the group during the week, and they get to know us..
then at the end, we goof off a little and have a little fun with them...

well-
the charter people saw a different teams' show, and wanted us to do it...
NOT OUR SHOW to begin with!!!!
we had to learn/pull a show outta our asses in 2 days...
technically we did an amazing job- but the cargo <passengers, or "guests"> didnt appreciate it- and went out to get stoned and gamble away money...

i heard one guy at the front desk thismorning complaining that he got beat up at the casino...

rule # 1

DONT BET UNLESS YOU CAN LOSE...

ooo- just got a phone call to go get a Dr Pepper ..
<not normally available round here... i'm gonna go get one...

i hope at least some of you get a kick outta this...
it helps me to hold onto what little precious sanity i have left..

i'll be back...
unless i'm on top.
