Personal Log
It’s certainly been a spell since last time… where to start, where to start…
Well the ship’s finished with the last of her checks and inspections and is all clear to set out to do… whatever it is that we’ll end up doin'.
I’ve got the, admittedly, daunting task of not only getting to grips with my new position of authority, but also wrangling a department that’s not ‘ad a head for a decent while now. That’s along with the additional preparations that the current um… shall we say ‘political climate’ has prompted.
I’ve given myself quite the checklist, but it’s doable. I’ll see to that.
Connor has been a big help. More than that, he’s been my bedrock in all honesty. I’m glad we got to spend a few days together before the real work began. Hell, I wouldn’t have even put myself forward for the position if he hadn't ‘ave talked me into it!
Still… leaving was hard. But that’s jus’ the way of things, ain’t it? He’s got his own ship to Captain just as I’ve got me ‘ands full ‘ere.
Whiskey’s adjusted. No shock there. The ole ragdoll is ‘appy as long as his belly’s full an’ there’s a warm spot to curl up. …Won’t be too ‘appy with my next decision though. I’ve been thinkin’ of taking up the drums again. Once I’ve got work down pat anyway. Maybe I should pop my head round engineering and see about a bit ‘o extra sound proofing? I mean sure, the holodeck is fine enough, but nothin’ beats the real thing. I ‘adn’t even considered gettin back into it the last couple years but… well, it’ll be good to ‘ave somethin’ to channel my worry into. Don’t need any ‘o that bleedin’ into the professional mask.
Now, let's see… No. I think that’s everything since last time.
Damn it, I never know how to end these things…
