Captain Lee: I'm Not Sure We'll Get Through This Unscathed
Captain Lee Rosbach shares his thoughts on Leon and the fire that broke out while Leon was sleeping.
Well, we made it through the Dane debacle fairly well, and I was hoping that things had improved, but it doesn't look like we are going to get a break. Things in the galley are not improving, Leon's attitude is getting worse, Kate tries to give Rocky some encouragement but that backfires, Emile is regressing, and Eddie seems to have totally lost all sense completely. And to top it off they try to burn down the boat. So let's get started.
Kate, I can see you losing patience. You have been trying to be civil to Leon, and he keeps going into the opposite direction. I can see that your efforts are probably not going to continue. Why do I think that the gloves are coming off soon? Good job with improvising the shark suit with Connie to make up a bit for not being able to go on the dive. Also you did a good job encouraging Rocky with some positive reinforcement. I don't think that she took any of that to heart, as she is busy propping up our disenchanted chef. I do appreciate your effort though.
Amy, another great run for you. Nice of you to try to take Rocky under your wing and help her out even though it appeared like she thought she could see why you were having an issue with her. She would rather party with the guests than serve them. I thought I would die when you put that hairpiece on, that was funny stuff. I would really love to see your work ethic rub off a bit, but not sure it's going to happen. Keep it up, I appreciate it.
Connie, you had a nice start. Good job with the anchor drop, your skill set is progressing nicely. Nice call with Emile as well, he needs all the help he can get right now. I still appreciate your sense of humor, even though I'm still trying to get used to it. Keep up the good work.
Emile, why can you not have two good weeks in succession? You make such progress and then you and Mr. Class discuss your masturbatory practices in the galley like you are talking about the weather. I do feel that your allegiance to Leon is misplaced as you only have one side of the story to work with. You think that his disruptive behavior is funny. Really? Your work on the deck is going well, but your social graces are so far removed from anything acceptable I can't even describe it.
Leon, you are the single most disruptive force I have ever had the displeasure of working with. You now are going out of your way to disrupt and divide everything and everyone on board. The box, was it really that important. And when the primary said she didn't want rabbit, you make it any way. You take a nap and let someone else take care of your guests. You go to bed instead of making their late night snack. In fact I am tired of commenting on it, so I won't. But trust me I will have my way and we will get through this with or without you. At some point it doesn't make any difference how good your food is, and it is, but if you can't get on with anyone it's all for nothing isn't it?
Rocky, you step up in the laundry room; get a compliment, and then what happened. The reason your job is so hard is because you just don't get it. That's in spite of you telling everyone that you do. It's obvious to everyone that you don't and probably never will. You leave a huge mess for someone else to clean up, you don't assist Amy when you are supposed to instead you want to party with the guests. Amy called you on it and you come apart. It's not that you can't do a better job, it's that you won't. And then you go to Leon for advice. Great move there. Let me know how that works out for you. So you are in the galley, and the popcorn is in, the pizza is in, and you, our self proclaimed sous chef can't watch popcorn and a pizza in the oven at the same time. Really? Impressive. Now you want to blame someone who wasn't even in the galley all while Leon sleeps. Trust me I will find out what caused it and who is responsible and deal with it.
Eddie, I can't believe what you are doing, nor can I believe your reason for doing it. She has a nice ass. That's how you rationalize your behavior. Why do I feel that the mess you are making for yourself is going to get much worse before it gets any better? You are management and I really wish you would start acting like it. I can't believe that you are texting Rocky about Kate. Not even your dept. and nothing good can come of you getting involved with it. Nice job with Connie and getting her trained on the anchor drop. Also, nice advice instructing your crew not to get involved with the drama in the galley. Now I hope you take that advice yourself. This thing with Rocky is going to cause some serious issues, I fear and I hope you are ready for it.
Well sports fans, there you have it. I'm not altogether sure we are going to get thru this charter unscathed. I may have to take some action before I really want to if things continue in this downward spiral, but rest assured that we will get through it. Until next week, fair winds and following seas. Oh, and did I see Chef Ben at the end? Going to be some action next week for sure.
