Ive just worked 40 days without a day off, on a boat with the same 26 people, and was meant to finish my rotation this Wednesday to have 6 weeks off. I have found out that my replacement isnt showing up and that I now have to work for at least another week. I had plans to meet up with my significant other in Thailand for 6 days on my way home to Australia, now those plans are shot. A further week isnt even all that long, but when you've been stuck at sea for 6 weeks, an extra week feels like a life time!
Im so pissed off that there is no one to take over from me, and while the rest of the crew goes home to their respective countries, I stand and wave them goodbye.
Anyway, just needed to vent to someone...
