carp-al tunnel

[alenxa_classic]

Ow ow ow. Rumless voyages suck. I was jobbing last night and we got seriously shot up before a losing battle in which the last of the rum got taken. Within 30 minutes of the battle, all the other jobbers deserted So here I am, the only remaining jobber with any sort of experience, carpenting my little heart out and getting next to nowhere. Eventually the officer in command switched to carp also, and once we got hold of another experienced jobber, we managed to get the damage meter down from fully splintered to only 1/3 holey. I was so intent on the puzzle that I didn't realize what time it was until midnight. I'd been at it for almost three hours straight, with only a couple of swordfights to break it up. On the plus side, I got a legendary status in carp for my troubles, and a lead on another crew to job with if I see them hiring. On the minus side, today my left wrist (the hand that works the keyboard to flip the pieces around) is complaining whenever I type much. I think I won't be carping for the next few trips.....
