Yup, that's the kind-of girl I'm talking about. One of the girls they interviewed for the underwater magazine article was exactly like that. Her quotes in that article were bold-faced lies. No one could stand her and enjoyed stealing and hanging her stuffed animals in nooses all over the boat. Yeah, you read that right. She brought stuffed animals offshore and arranged them on her rack like a f-ing 5 year old. Not a Katrina baby, worked offshore with Epic, now inland with Ballard Diving and Salvage.
Oh I'm post, was chomping at the bit to get through dive school when that storm came through, just didn't break out as a result of it. I'm still really young in this industry. Haha, thanks for vouching for me John. Flynn I think John lives for messing with the over-privileged underachiever's heads. I could be wrong, but I've seen him on deck screwing with people before, it's like watching an artist work. Hehe.
John you remember how uncomfortable you would always make Matt out on the Maersk Achiever? That was always a good time......... do you remember MUFFEE? I'll give you a hint in case you don't. She was our Mobile Underwater Fully Functioning Equilibrium Enhancer...
Haha sounds like you knew John before he had to be nice. Wish I could have seen him back then, well not really, I doubt I would have been hired back then. Good call on the ladder thing, how do you think he would have reacted? Would he have beat the piss out of you, or maybe just held your head underwater till you stopped squirming?
I worked as a suprvisor for Triton diving doing rig inspections up to and around 100 to 250 ft. Multi legged and single legged platforms. We were concentrating on VD, flooded member, CP, weld inspections, riser and clamps from bottom to 0 plus. I had a girl working that really tried, and I said so, but was so slow nothing got done according to the company man from fairwinds/ anglo swiss. I pulled here and sent another diver down. She cried...What do you do????
I say if she cries ignore her, she'll get over it or duck out, unless someone's stupid enough to screw with her, then she's got ammunition to take to the office... no one wants to be a part of that s*** storm.
THERE'S NO CRYING IN DIVING! (said with a Tom Hank's accent)
