    Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

    Steering is more of a grunt-work task. Though more-specialized vessels, mates will drive during critical operations (such is the case with me). Gone are those wild days, which is probably for the best. But EVERYTHING is regulated and managed. There is a log for everything. I handle crewing...

    Your job too, is never guaranteed. You can work with a company for 10+ years and then just not get called back. You are laid off once you depart the vessel, so there is not really any employment protection or right to rehire. You also eventually become so niche that lateral movement is...

    Cruise ship bartender may be fun! That would be a very different work tempo. You aren't really dealing with the same things, at all. The thing is, I actually don't want to work in a shore-side capacity at all within the industry. The headaches are numerous, and overall, I'm tired of the...

    Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

    Going to sea sucks. Working as a senior officer sucks more. There's almost zero joy in my days. Every year, **** just gets worse. The world doesn't stand still. I finish my hitches and return home so spun up, it takes a solid month to feel grounded, another month to find rhythm, and then it's...

    I had a worker miss two flights and finally arrived halfway across the world on the third flight. Thousands upon thousands spent, and I've spent half the ******* day taking said worker to the hospital. Acute alcohol withdrawal. Now dealing with getting her medications and sent home. This ****...

    Yes. I have hit a brick wall with work, and my ethic and ideas and emails are not going to positively change anything. I wear too many hats, the hours suck. It's just roadblocks trying to make processes better. I've written countless technical manuals here, manage people, design systems, handle...

    Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

    When do you say enough is enough and move on a different job? I'm tired of always being tired. The standard work day is a 14-hour day. My job is massive headache and a managerial clusterfuck. I never feel satisfied and it's kinda like just trying to keep your head out of water. I also, to be...

    The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

    I am heading to Japan here soon. Will be in Tokyo and Osaka. Recs on stores to hit? I used to buy from Japan all the time when Rakuten Global Market was a thing. Looking through old emails, all I have a record of is buying from Paradise Market in Osaka, which I will check out. I'm not just...

    What the hell happened to the "Happy Thread"? Anyhow, I finally pulled the trigger on a house. Now I have a nice place in the hip part of town, and I can drive my hybrid cross-over to the yoga studio. 😅

    Happy New Year. Been forever since I've logged in, but I felt nostalgic with another year passing. Much has changed. I endured grueling rounds of chemotherapy, but I overcame that. Lost my hair, could barely walk towards the end of it, endured what I hope will be the worst pain of my life...

    I've become really bad at real life. I can't muster the courage to eat alone.

    How many more suicides am I going to hear about? It's like every 3 months right now that I hear about another mariner taking his own life. It's ridiculous how we have vessels with crew on board trying for over six months to go home, after completing something like an 8-month tour. We've had...

    Back from the dead. I legitimately hate my life right now. I'm locked in a hotel room; I am fed three **** meals a day--I am probably consuming around 500-1000 calories a day max. I'm not allowed deliveries. The highlight of my day is getting an evening soda, no ****, a Sierra Mist. I have...

    Back to work in a freaking week. I'm not ready, at all. I mean; sure, I'm bored, somewhat, and the world blows, but, I just ain't ready. I've got the year booked now; through like, butt-******* Christmas. Main gig, side-hustle to keep a merit badge, and then main gig again. I should probably...
