Starting it up

Monday May 4th, 2009

 

. . . . . I do very sincerely regret not taking Spanish as a second language. Not only do I need it in my job anymore, half of the places I work would got a lot smoother if I could understand the native language of the people who worked there as well.

 

. . . . .Two freakin' broken helicopters last week meant 2/3's of the Gulf of Mexico West fleet that we use was out of commission. Today's breakdown of one on our platform completes a trifecta, 100% of the fleet. Now, every damn one of them has broken down out here in the Gulf. I am not the only one who is not happy! We all want to go to work in one piece and go home in one piece, and ever since the bad crash in January, that killed 7 of us, we're nervous enough. This shit ain't cool at all.

 

. . . . .The only saving grace is that the galley stocked up on ice cream, and we have Rocky Road, and Black Walnut and Butter Pecan to boot.

 

. . . . .I miss my sons, and I'm proud of them, they did damn good in school this semester and they make me proud every day.

 

. . . . .Movie madness coming at me when I get onshore. Wolverine, Star Trek, and Terminator:Salvation all in one fell swoop, I swear it!

 

. . . . .I have good friends, and I miss them.

 

. . . . In case you haven't figured it out, sometimes even us muckrakers, gadflys and watchdogs need some rest time.

 

. . . . .It's a good life, sunrise at sea today let me know that.

 

. . . . .Now if only they'd quit screwing with my calendar so I could make some plans, it'd be an incredible life, like way, way over the top. After all, I only represent an organization and coach people in planning an absolute schedule 3 months out, now if only my organization could set a calendar for those of use who teach it for more than 48 hours out, now that would only make sense.
