One of those weeks...

Ah yes, the weekend... possibly some wine (maybe even a bit of rum). Don't know as I would need the Navyboys...

W.W.I. Weekend, Wine, Indulgence.

Or, as the job has been, "Working With Idiots." Glad the week is over.

You too huh? Work would be great if it wasn't for the idiots. Cheers!

Seems to be an infestation of them lately

Sorry you guys had such a long week and with idiots. Archie and Horatio would be very sympathetic, I am sure. Especially if you shared the rum.

The weekend has to be better than the week that has been. Sleep, that is my big luxurious plan. (I live a life of non-stop excitement, right?)

Oh yes. Archie and Horatio know all about working with idiots.

Archie and Horatio would be very sympathetic, I am sure. Especially if you shared the rum.
That sounds like a fic prompt if ever I heard one!

Sleep sounds like a good plan. You must need it too after your traumatic week. Hope everyone is getting over poor little Ajax.

Btw Belated thanks for the lovely postcard from the Vineyard. As one islander to another, I loved seeing your ferry!

Just in case the rum is gone, I brought you some more.

Been a bit of a week here. Is it something in the water? *hugs and snotties*

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Definitely something in the water. I blame the government. Higher education is not a good place to be working right now :/

been a dire week here too -other than on the navyboy front which has been excellent for a number of reasons.

but work, idiot bosses and the ever present government threat to take away the disability living allowance using under qualified assessors to judge things ...yesh it all adds up!

sorry to hear everyone else has been having a grim week too.
maybe we can devise a Following Sea idiots at work award:

The Admiral Lord Bridport Award for idiocy and laziness at the top, for instance
or the Admiral Colpoys award for never being there when you need them
and so on

any further thoughts - maybe I will post this for general takers suggestions ...

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Definitely! I have several nominations for both the Bridport and Colpoys awards!

Wears you down, doesn't it?

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Bridport and Colpoys were both mentioned in my book about Bligh. I would send you the Bligh book, but it is on my Kindle. It did not mention Pellew by name, in the part about Morrison. But it did recount his eventual death. (Morrison, not Pellew.)

There was a ship with a name like Inconstant... was it Inconstant? I was talking to Mike, and he said that was a terrible name for a Navy ship. He said it was like 'Go ahead, give me an order, maybe I'll be there and maybe I won't.'

He said that the Pickle sounded adorable, btw. And he had no problem with the Flirt!

Maybe the Idiots and and the lazy work-mates could be aboard the Inconstant? (If that was her name.)

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

There were at least two Inconstants, one of which was active in combating the slave trade apparently.

There was also a gun brig called Insolent which had previously been the French L'Arrogante!

I've always loved the Flirt. I hope she sailed in company with the Fairy and the Frolic :)
