The supply guys probably got sick of the requests, but it was worth sending the new guys on a walk.....besides, I don't remember what for, but I'm sure I've had to take the walk myself once or twice.
They used to send guys down to me for a BT Punch. The best one i ever ran was the kid I had after almost an hour was up on the bridge asking the captain for the keys for the sea chest to get the water hammer. Then there was the bundle of philopian tubes, realitive bearing grease, batteries for the sound powered phones.

Alright then, I understand your situation. Up all night, Sleep all day.

Sent another email today. 3rd time. Say they can't read the receipt. Might need thicker glasses.

Log into PayPal. You can look up that receipt number with a complete printout. I would have done it for you, but I do not know your log in and password to PayPal....Security ya know.

I went through the process, and also explained that I thought it was a bit ridiculous.

I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, since they are new to making FTE work, but this is the last time. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me! ( I don't like baseball, and do not believe in the three strike rule)

Yes, 3 times is a bit too much. I don't even know my pp stuff. Log in / Security I have know idea. The last time I actually used pp was just for fte and when I purchased parts off ebay for my old boat many years ago. Just before the kids.

Shouldn't you guys be in bed or something? We know my hours are screwy but then so am I. I got 3 units I'm working on or with right now, 2 here on Bonga, one on Exxon-Mobil's Yoho, then they want me to add a turbine blowing oil in Pakistan. And they still want me to go back to China.

We are all a bit 'screwy'...mostly in mind, but sometimes in time.
