MIA March, April & May

I've been missing! It's not that I've been lost or misplaced, but I've been missing you! Jessica had been so busy with her job and travels she left me to guard her bed. I'm an expert on sitting on pillows now!
I learned a lesson. If you want Jessica to do something, it's better to let her do it in her own time.... believe me, if you are always asking, complaining and whining about it she might stuff you under the bed!!
I'm back!!!! And here's some photos of things I've been doing over the last few months. I honestly can't believe it's been almost three months since I last blogged!!! Where did the time go? I hope to get Jessica on the computer more often so I can keep you all up to date on my adventures. Thanks for your patience. I've forgiven Jessica and she promises she will do better from now on.


MARCH 2008
Continuing to find the perfect job for a monkey onboard, Hannah (USA) suggested some different engine room jobs, like helping with the septic tank, cleaning fuel oil tanks and checking on the generators. The engine crew really love their generators and affectionately call them all "Genny".

Notice the bible verse on the poo tank.

My first meeting with Genny

Jessica put her foot down and wouldn't allow me to go in any farther. She didn't want me dirty. Can't a monkey have a little fun?
This means no engine work for me.


APRIL 2008
A favorite game with the crew is Ping Pong. This is me watching. Mikey (USA) & Ilkka (Finland) said the game ends when someone gets 100 points. I had to wait awhile.



In the Dining room you can choose to have juice with your meal. Jessica usually gets water or hot tea. Despite what all the other crew members say, I think the juices taste great! How do they know it taste like feet, have they tasted feet before?




MAY 2008
Since Jessica was ignoring me for most of the month, I did some exploring on my own and found the luggage/book hold storage space. There sure were a lot of ladders down there. No wonder the crew have been asking me advice on climbing on desks and bunk beds.



While the cats away, the monkey will play! hehe, Jessica still doesn't know about our late night Open Cabin Parties!
