Hi Friends,
So it's Saturday and while we did have to work this morning, we were given a half day at lunch time, which unfortunately led to me going to the shops to by pre-paid internet and coming home with a netbook that I shouldn't have bought......on the up side, it's a net book, so super-portable and fresh and new. It's nothing flash, but exactly what I need in a computer <insert smile here>
Well, it's been a good week this week, my friend Lizzy joined the ship a couple of days ago, and I couldn't be more excited. It's always great to have a fun friend join your work environment.
Unfortunately at the same time, my friend Freya has gone on leave, possibly not to return to the ship which is a bit sad, but I guess this is the nature of my job, and you've got to take the good with the bad.
Well, another duty tomorrow, and this time I'm back in the quartermaster's watchbill, so I get the dubious pleasure of standing on the gangway for two stints of 6hrs. Should be long, but hopefully the person I'm duty with will be able to hold a conversation and help the time fly.
As for my quitting status, I've still managed to avoid drinking or smoking, and today marks ten weeks off from drinking. I'm pretty pleased about that. I did have a particularly vivid dream about smoking a couple of nights ago, though, which I think was brought on by my first real extended period of sitting around smokers in a drinking environment (we went to the Terror Club for drinks with Freya before she flew out, and everyone seemed to be smoking.
After sitting on the quarterdeck using my newly obtained internet, I'm sure that I'll dream about smoking again tonight, being that the quarterdeck is the smoking area on the ship, so I've been exposed to some very nice smelling tobacco smoke!
Ok Friends, I think I've rambled on enough for one diary entry. Hoping life is treating you all well, and that your world is as enjoyable as mine :)
Take care Friends..
