My new job is fucking sick
    #7806525 - 12/28/07 02:55 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I've been at my new job since Christmas day. I'm on board a passenger ferry between Tasmania and Melbourne, clearing about $1400 a week before tax. It's fucking gnarly, the work is cruisy and all the other crew are sick, not to mention the hotties that pass through the decks of this ship. I finished work about an hour ago and went up to the Union/crew mess to grab a beer... 6 beers later I'm a bit hammered so I thought I'd puters and have a little brag to y'all. Haven't been on the shroomery in awhile and thought I'd just check inand say hi and whatnot, hope you all had a really good christmas and have a fucking sick new years... I'lldefinately be getting hammered somewhere along the line...

anyways, back to getting more hammered... stay safe all

> not to mention the hotties that pass through the decks of this ship.

A few months ago, up near Puerto Rico, a passenger ferry ran aground on a reef. The captain went below to play with one of the hotties, leaving the pilot duties to his first mate. The first mate tried to cut a few minutes off the trip by cruising through the shallows. Quick way to turn a brand new ferry into scrap metal. From what I heard, they had to cut the ship apart to get it off the reef. Lemme see if I can google up a reference...

Hence the importance of having a good captain. The captain(s) of our ship/s are pretty older more responsible dudes. The ship's I'm workingon are travelling through a relatively safe passage of water with no obsticles or reefs or anything like that.

you trying to scare me?

I'm from Tasmania. Scored the job through a recruiting agency. I just joined the MUA (Maritime Union Australia) because a few weeks ago I did my AMSA certificate course at the Maritime College, which means I can now work on any vessel anywhere in the world. Which is fucking suhweet, and e MUA will help me get this work elsewhere. The maritime industry is booming at the moment, and is a great one to get in to... would recommend it to anyone. You can be working on an oil rig as an IR for roughly $150k a year, but that means you have to do the IR course which is 16 weeks and costs about $3.5k but you'd make that money back in a week.

i have a couple of friends who work in the maritime industry...

one of them went to the US merchant marine academy after high school and now works for the 2nd largest shipping company in the world making 6 figures (just as you said). he's a co captain i believe...and some of the photos he has when he's in the north sea are just crazy - not sure if my stomach could handle the rough seas!

the other works for maersk...transporting ethanol etc - he also makes pretty fucking sweet money but hardly sees his family...maybe 5 months out of the year.

so from what i gathered, the money's good, you get to travel around the world when you stop at the ports, but...little time to spend with friends and family at home base (plus the rough seas depending on where your route is).

my ex boyfriend's family also worked for one of the greek shipping families - i won't mention their surname but it's one of the top 5 richest in the world. they seemed like very nice people despite being mega billionaires, quite quick to give money towards charitable causes. they own a buttload of tankers :P

well there are pro's and cons just as with any other job. but i'm rght at the bottom, but i've met quite a fwe people who worked for american cruise ships who earnwed fuck all money ($10 a day) but all the cash came form tips, which I heard is the american way, anyway?

But still, if my contract here is cut after 6 months (which is unlikely as I have my AMSAcertificate which makes me kind of important and more economical of them to keep on as a steward) then I'll just get work elsewhere ons ome P&O cruisers (i've heard many a sailors tale about those P&O cruisers!:) )

anyway, here is some pics from my time at the AMC doing the training course, i have a few more photos, but these will do for now.






this is one of the dudes i did the course with sitting up at the bridge of the SPOT. funny as fuck photo, I think... considering its a lvl 3 security zone LOL
