Confessions Mama Kat Style...

This week's Mama Kat blog prompt I choose is number 3 about a time I stole something...

For a year I worked on a cruise ship and while there, had some very good friends who worked in the bar department. The ship I worked on had over 900 cameras watching your every move. Hello big brother! My friends in the bar department got very good at stealing booze from the bar and sneaking it back to one of our cabins. Here's a little story of one night that didn't go so well...

We were in dock overnight in Maui and when the bars on land closed me, Bear, and Sunshine had had only a few drinks and definitely didn't have our share of drinking yet. Bear (who worked in the bar department) said we would figure it out on the ship. No sooner had we gotten to Bear's cabin than we got a phone call that some of our other friends already had alcohol in their cabin. That solved that dilemma. We went over there and quickly finished off a fifth of Captain between the now 7 of us. Captain Idiot decided that we needed more and put on his uniform in order to go back to one of the bars and get us more! (keep in mind it's like 3am now)
No sooner had he left than there was a knock on the door... security!!! Luckily both Bear and I knew this guy and after he saw what was going on, told us to take a hike.

The next morning at 7am, after a whole 3-3 1/2 hours of sleep we were all woken up by security and taken in to be breathalized and questioned. Things turned out alright all around. By that point most of us were under the ship limit (.04BAC... one half of the legal driving limit) but one of the guys from the party ended up quitting and left the ship that day. Captain Idiot? He came back to the cabin having sucessfully completed his mission... and wondered where everyone had gone... He was never associated with that mess... good for him.

So the moral kids is don't steal booze from the ship and then have a cabin party... just drink it quietly in your room...alone... and BE QUIET!!!!
