Offshore Oil Industry Has Died, What're You Doing Now?

Wow! Proper way to dispose of hazardous materials, that’s for sure!

Some things can’t be saved and need to be jettisoned before the crew or vessel are put in jeopardy.

It makes no difference because I lost the battle before it started when I decided that I wanted to be a 100% career oriented person. Apparently only men are allowed to do that and women are punished severely for it. No, we are supposed to be flattered when guys they hardly even know imply that they want to get divorced and remarried because their current wife/ girlfriend doesn’t make that much money and they don’t want to pay for stuff anymore. And I’ m sorry but people implying that they want to get married so they can have sex at work, is not exactly a flattering proposal and it is NOT a reason to get married!! [I]marry an engineer, you won’t have to pay for shit anymore and you can have sex all you want. Minimal effort! Then you can stack your dough to leave for a younger hotter woman down the line! Perfect! It’s a win win situation!!![/I]

So someone who has already decided that they absolutely want no part of that at all, should not have to face questions about it every fucking single day of their work life. Everyone should be allowed to go to work, just to work and not for any other f*ing reason!!!

I pray I never am ever on the same vessel as you and pity all those men (and women) who are.

Now, will you ever simply STFU and cease posting more of your verbal diarrhea? We are all growing extremely weary of your presence…

You are cracking me up. Off in your own little world. I bet you’re very good looking, because to be dumb AND ugly would be a damn shame. But your posts are entertaining and I guess that’s what counts.

[QUOTE=Yeasty McFlaps;174127] to be dumb AND ugly would be a damn shame.[/QUOTE]

Projection is one of human nature’s funniest phenomena

But also an entertaining one when you see it in action. But, recognizing why people do it makes you not dislike them as much…so, you’re ok yeasty mcflaps.

I probably would have tried to store it away from anything, but you are right, with vessels movement and everything there is really no safe place for it. I did not think of it like that. I will keep that in my mental notes encase I ever come across that problem.

[QUOTE=cajaya;174125]…and it is NOT a reason to get married!! [/QUOTE]

Yes it is. Alone with a hundred other reasons. There are waaaay too many happy marriages out there based solely on convenience. What’s love got to do with it?

Heh. This entire forum has long ago grown weary of your presence yet still you defecate daily on damn near each and every thread.

If you cannot STFU, why should she?

[QUOTE=Xavier6162;174136]Yes it is. Alone with a hundred other reasons. There are waaaay too many happy marriages out there based solely on convenience. What’s love got to do with it?[/QUOTE]
Convenient to who? Someone who can’t go two to four weeks without having sex? I am sorry but that is not my problem. Convenient to someone who thinks they found the gravy train and just don’t have to put any effort into anything. I have been around long enough to see what happens to women Mariners who marry in this industry, it seems all good at first, the guys milk it for what they can, I have seen women even pay the guy’s child support for him. Then eventually they leave for another woman who they end up supporting completely from the money they SAVED from being with the mariner woman. Then the mariner woman spent her best years with some selfish asswhole who was using her for both money AND sex.
And sorry, no I don’t think it’s convenient to bring a relationship with all its complexities into my workplace where I troubleshoot, repair and maintain complex equipment as it is! No, I don’t think it’s convenient to have nosy crew members try to pry and stir shit up for their own satisfaction. No, I don’t think it’s Convenient to have to constantly have to worry about what bs someone might say to my partner, weather it’s true or not, and have to deal with any type of relationship drama at work, where you can’t leave. No, I don’t think it’s convenient at all to bring my personal life into my work life where I go to make $$$$, and what is supposed to be a substantial amount of it, and where I hold a position that it took me 9 years to obtain on my own with no help from anyone else!!! Through literally blood AND sweat AND many hardships. And where I strive to be viewed as a professional and as an Engineer ONLY.

It might be a convenience to someone else who only cares about their DICK, but its definitely not a convenience to me!!

Someone bringing their housewife to come work with them as a cook so they can spend more time together is DIFFERENT than someone working their way up the ranks as an ENGINEER on their own,with NO ONE else’s help, who wants to be viewed ONLY as an engineer and doesn’t want to be bothered with the rest of the fucking shit!!!

This thread has grown bizarre beyond description…

She is the female version of you.

[QUOTE=Slick Cam;174141]This thread has grown bizarre beyond description…[/QUOTE]

Supercheng is like an accident on the freeway. Even though we know better, we all slow down to look, out of morbid curiousity…

And on that note supercheng, you lost all credibility a long time ago. I believe deep down you would have a lot to add to some topics here, but that ship has sailed (no pun intended). You keep going on and on about how your ego, psyche, whatever was threatened/injured. None of us give a shit. When I read your posts I wonder, ‘this chick must be drunk or smoking some good shit’…This is not an easy industry to be a part of for anyone, not only women. We all have tales of woe. If it was easy and fair, more people would be doing it, don’t you think?
You should do yourself a favor and make up another user name and try to start over…or go to another forum thats basis is talking about chauvinism, nepotism, or whatever unfair business practices you feel like ranting about. Any humor or intellect you have is hidden behind your non-stop blah blah blah bitchfest.

I’ll take ccaptain’s rants anyday over hers. At least with ccaptain I learn something of substance, occasionally.

        I never said my ego was threatened, I said it was fucked up that I had to talk to people every fucking day, explaining why I was there to be an engineer ONLY, and then have do deal with their backlash.
        That is fucked up and I have never worked in such a backwards place even coming close to that in my entire life.

People use forums to talk about things, to discuss, and to bitch.

If I have to explain to one more person why under no circumstances do I want to be with an offshore or sailor man EVER I am going to lose it, since I was forced to discuss it every fucking day, then yes…that will trigger a bitch fest. Most other times I’m quite normal and even keeled.

You trigger yourself. Don’t blame anyone here for your attitude. You, and you alone own that.
Thanks for clearing things up. Now please STOP.

Well that’s a good thing. Just means the sexes are finally becoming equal.

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was a requirement to be polite when people start dictating to you what you are supposed to be doing with your own life (body) and finances.

You are delusional. No one here has done that. You only get a ration of shit when you pop into these threads and hijack them with your crusade.

Well, you made a statement about me in a general sense regarding my perceived attitude, and I responded in a general sense in reference to my “attitude”. As Frank Ocean said:

[I]“Don’t confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are.”[/I]

Let me be frank. You appear to be perpetually on the rag.
You have a sickening sense of entitlement. Also, you must be insecure to an extent because of you continually bragging about your accomplishments, and exceptional work ethic.
An officer in your 20s? You act like you discovered the cure for cancer.
Don’t think I’m jealous. My first license was issued on my 19th birthday. When other teenagers were out having fun, I was slaving away on fishing boats to gain the seatime I needed.
No matter how special you think you are, there is always someone who can top it. Get over yourself you egomaniac.
