While I was in Korat I ran into a guy that I have played golf with before and he said that the courses are open again (Tiger for sure anyway) and so maybe we could get together for a hit whenever you return to these parts.

I was wondering what happens in a work environment like yours if you get an arsehole that you have to work with?
Ootai... I discovered some privacy settings in the TeakDoor software and now everyone can see the pics! I thought it may help advertise the next street litter needing homes.

Golf... I'll think about it. Like I said my slice killed my game dead nine years ago and I got the hump with it, but maybe I should try again...

Yes... the occasional arsehole does turn up but hopefully my new found colleagues aren't thinking this... Any conflict can really effect the atmosphere of a spread so usually these people are weeded out very quickly and not employed. Of course occasionally it is unavoidable and for me, if there is someone I know I will conflict with, I generally manipulate the shifts so I'm opposite. Its strange but nine times out of ten if someone is bugging you, you later find out that the same person bugs everyone. It just takes a while to confide in people when you freelance and are constantly turning up on new boats with new people and are always the 'new' person.

Lucky for me I'm really nice and everyone likes me!

It's a bit small but OK. There's not many sharing cabins on this boat but as I was the new freelancer I got the short straw. So long as the cabin is clean and quiet that's really all I care about... it's only for sleeping in.

Yes, it's certainly not ideal but at least the gardener isn't onboard to sneak up behind me!
