1915... still at sea... forecast: good chance of snow!
So it's christmas eve over here folks. Amazing huh? We had holiday routine for the last half of the day. Too bad when i am on the mess decks that doesn't mean much. i did go back to my rack and pass out for about an hour. Missed a muster but the guy in charge of us was cool about it. Not a lot of people put effort into this job, especially the people who i am close to working with. Maybe two other guys always show up for work, the rest just skate off or disappear. Sux to have to do ten different jobs because you can't rely on anyone to help you. when i first came to the mess decks i was always wondering why Medinaocasio was always running around and doing every single job the whole day... now i know. When you get close to the end of your time like Cooke and myself you just stop caring about skating and start caring about getting the damn job done and getting it over with. Sure skating is cool, becuz you get a break, but honestly all it means is delaying all the work i will inevitably have to do, which will build up by the end of the day. Of course i do skate when the guy in charge drops some busy bull shit work on me, but that to me is different. if i have finished a task and did it well and promptly, why give me a job that is unnecessary to be done... becuz you want to see me doing something all day... just for the sake of looking like i am doing something! Fuck that. Throttle it back and half ass it, some real work will come up eventually.

It's kind of depressing for the holidays here. No family or familiar things. Just work. they try to help make it a little more enjoyable, but come on there is only so much you can do out on ocean. oh well. this is my second holiday season spent in the navy. my first was thanksgiving, christmas and new years all in boot camp. After that i spent the following at home, now the same three i am spending out here. the one in boot camp was great... honestly! I was in Fast Cruise at the time, so we were spending a lot of the day just lounging around the galley, singing songs and telling big as stories. We had so much fun!
So i have pretty much given up on the girl i like back home. Again, oh well! She needs male attention all time and it doesn't matter who it is from. Any dirt bag can date her as long as he spends all his time with her... and even then that is not enough. She never tries to have female friends, but has dozens of male friends... she's a good looking girl who could blame her, but come on, i know exactly why all of them are friends with her. They all hope that one day they can get with her in the worst way, duh. i noticed she just stopped writing me and not really caring at all, then i found out she pretty much has another guy now to give her that attention. So, i'm just not going to write her anymore, but i have to give her one last call to remind her to pick up all the presents i bought for her. They were pretty lame but still it's money wasted now! Hope she puts them to good use and likes them anyway.
Actually, i hope Stacy, my other good friend, really loves her presents! I hope she does, man i put a lot of time into thinking of these for her! okay i gotta go, have to respond to some emails and then... well maybe get some sleep. another long day of cranking tomorrow... but on the 26th, WE GET MAIL BABY! YEAH! I cannot wait, i hope i have just this mountain of pacakages arrive. With my luck probably won't get anything!
