Little update,

Still on the M/V Hammerhead, I'll be getting off the ship ideally the morning of the 23rd.

Tentatively my plans will be to drive straight up to Denton spend that weekend and the next up there with Vic and others and then spend Monday

I didn't really want to post anything till I knew for certain about work, perhaps it's a matter of superstition but regardless there is news now, and I wanted to write a bit about Vic's visit for spring break. But I'll leave that one for when I have time to write more.

Work...

Well I went to Rigdon Marine in New Orleans (well Kenner but...

Vic is in town, spending time with his mother tonight before his mother's wedding tomorrow... He'll be coming down to the boat after the reception and we'll spend the evening out on the boat in the Bay.

Sunday we'll come in, to pick up passengers... possibly... depending on the weather.

Then a week filled with chores, paying bills, and most importantly Vic.

We're not opposed...

Got a call from a company I first started trying to work for two years ago. All I need to do is pass a physical and drug screen on March 24th, attend a new hire indocrination the 25th, and attend helicopter evacuation training on the 26th, and I'll be working again.

I'm still looking for land based jobs, just in case I can swing a...

Still looking for work, no real new leads, but tons of resume's out.

Looking at adopting a dog... here are the two primary candidates.

Ace

Dusty Bottoms

dearambellina:
I don't know how you're going to chose... they are both beautiful!
sailorfrank:
The only way I will be able to choose is by meeting them.

I'm meeting Ace tomorrow with his Foster owner. He looks like the best choice just because our personalities seem more closely matched.... and I'm more partial to German Shepards and mixes containing that. He's a more intelligent and dominant dog, he's less passive it seems than Dusty and will keep me on my toes more.

But I'll hold off till I meet Dusty, because there really is something in her eyes.

Weekend is here, some leads, but nothing followed though yet for work.

If anyone has any ideas... feel free to drop a line.

Hard to believe that I put in over 16 hours looking for work in two days... and the only thing worth mentioning is a maintenance job that pays about one quarter of what I was making.

Shouldn't the fact that I am...

Have you considered something on an offshore platform? I heard those guys make wads of cash...or is it not as good if it doesn't move?
sailorfrank:
I'm looking into being a Deck Foreman for Remote operations vehicles.... basically those submersible robots that do underwater construction work beyond the limits of human tolerance.

I'd basically be the guy supervising the deck work putting it into the water and taking it out. I'm thinking something like 25 an hour. Or a better option has presented itself... not sure how likely it is, but I don't want to spoil it before it's germinated.

So I'm looking for a new job now that my company finally got the balls to tell me they needed to lay me off.

Unemployment is filed... but roughly a gran a month isn't going to help.

Looks like I might have to ship out with the Seafarers Union.

A note before my update.

Across the Universe

I'm a movie person... sure I read... sure I listen to music... all manners of both.

But in music, few artists, bands, or composers really stand out. I find that most suit few purposes and come and go.

The Beatles, had a greater impact on my life than any other single band or composer, with the Doors...

I was wondering if that movie was good. I figured it could be brilliant, or cheesy ,or even just weird... but I'm planning on buying it, at any rate. I'm a big Beatles fan. biggrin
Sorry about your friend's mom.

Well...

So a puppy play session at Leather Masters in Dallas, lots of sex, mostly spontaneous sick perverted dirty talking sex. And last night we did a mutual cutting scene in front of Vic's friend Patricia. Vic cut me twice on the right peck, and once over my left eye. And I cut Vic once on his left inner thigh and at the top of...

Been up in Denton since Valentines Day. Vic and I had a terribly romantic reunion out front of the new club 247 I think it is called in Dallas. Then I got to watch Vic perform in a burlesque show scene as the naughty school boy who gets punished by the teacher. Fuck that was hot.

Of course when we did make it back to...
