Subject: Her way with words

Everytime I make a spiel over a PA I think of my last day of Pirates training. Matt Holding had just finished administering my Performance Assessment in the tower, while Kimmi watched on. Once I had passed Kimmi said she wanted to go over the console with me and also the powering up/down procedures. Like a patient mom she sat beside me while I stumbled through the steps. While she and I sat there talking a guest on the monitor put his hand in the water. Not wanting to make a bad impression, I said into the PA, "Avast, Matey! Keep your ruddy hands inboard at all times!" She looked at me and said, "Oh that was goooood! I usually just tell them to keep their hands out of the water or else they'll be taking them home in a plastic bag." She threw a look at Matt and continued, "but I can't say that anymore 'cause I'll get in trouble." I'll miss the harsh exterior but mostly I'll miss the gentle soul which lay underneath. That and those funky reading glasses of hers! Lots of love, you old box! Thanks for the memories.
