What's going on lately

When I first arrived to the ship, I was sure that the team I meet will be here until the end of the contract but this is far from true. They start leaving one by one... like my first-never-to-forget roommate Krastina... or the best supervisors EVER … Erika and Robert... or one of the loveliest guys ever existing oh ships – Jonathan... You have these amazing times and one day they leave you. Of course it's not their fault, it's the end of their contract and they have to go home but it just feels wrong. And it's sad.

Ha ha, but the memories will live forever, like... We have different functions here on ship, besides doing the everyday job we have crew member stuff to do. Krastina and me used to be stairway guides on deck 3 where all the lifeboats are, so when the emergency drill was ongoing we had to guide all of the passengers to their lifeboat, just to show them what to do in case something happens. Picture this one: hundreds of people come from all decks of the ship. Me and Krastina standing by the elevators and yelling : “Even numbers this side!! Odd numbers that side!!” … like really there, very firm and convincing, it's an emergency!!! But the passengers don't take this seriously and they come to the drill like they're going walking; one of them even asked where are the uneaven numbers. Would you make jokes in case of real emergency? Not to be mean or something, but more than half of them won't be really ok if the real thing happens.

So seeing them like this, we started to make jokes as well. “Are you ready?” “Yes. You? This side or that side first?” “This side.” (and screaming together...) “Even numbers this side!! Odd numbers that side!!” The passengers were laughing like crazy. Krastina, if you're reading this... I miss you, bitch!!

Time to go to sleep now, I don't have any interesting news to tell. Maybe tomorrow.

ps. 67 days till the ship enters dry dock and I come home. Ieeeeei !!
