Also speaking of floating and societal isolation, I could really use a nice talk with someone. And grass. Also boobs.
There's 3 - 5,000 people on there, take your pick
. Of course, I dunno how much free time you get, or what the social life is like on a ship.

btw I've missed one day of work I don't think they're going to fucking fire me if I'm puking and coughing everywhere.
I stick with my opinion that our country's employee laws are much better. An employer can't fire you if you're sick for a few days - that's unavoidable, after all.
And your dad's a dick and obviously not aware of his own actions. Have a proper chat with him (possibly with a mediator that can tell him to stfu if he interrupts) when you're better or something.
But be prepared to accept he won't change. My dad's stubborn as fuck (as well?) and also has room for improvement - he's being a dick to my brother and/or just doesn't get it, basically.
Speaking of, it's my parents' 30 year anniversary in a few weeks, and they want to get the whole family together for a weekend. I'm not too sure whether that's a good idea - both my brother and my sister can't really stand my dad. I just hope he can behave.
I heard he was actually pleasant to be around back when they were on vacation a few weeks back. Afterwards, he went to visit his mom (my grandmom) and things went to shit again. He just whines, bascially, nothing is good, everything and everyone sucks, etc etc etc.
...Definitely my dad,
.
Anyways, my sister and brother can't really get along with him because they're as stubborn as he is. He says X, they say 'No Y', and neither party goes 'okay fine whatever', instead they just grow louder and upset and things.
And I inherited the proper approach to that kinda stuff from my mom. I just shrug and go 'okay fine'. Perhaps that's also developed because I've been living on my own for two and a half years (or so) now. I am the center of peace, harmony and balance when I'm at the folks,
. I can deal with him, at least.
And because of that (and the fact I don't disappoint them - did my school(s) without (much of a) hitch and have a proper job, while my brother took nine years just to get his higher education and still doesn't have a job (afaik), and my sister's grown hugely obese and is struggling at school (and bitching)).
hum. Dunno what triggered that rant. In any case, long story short, I am awesome and perfect in every way and I earn more money than my dad.
