Just another fun day on the USS Princeton. The departing XO, LT CDR Katz, is leaving, and he, with MAC is trying to show the new XO what a wonder command he's inheriting. Especially his beloved OD div. Somewhere between the time he arrived and the midway through 'pac he began to see us as a bunch of shit bags. So now he wants to put the new XO into the same opinion. With most of the division either in PO Indoc or Indoc. We don't have that many people to put in the many places that their needed. That's normally so this week anyway, unfortunately we also had to support the A-gangers in they're maintenance check with the anchor. With all this going on we still had to get the berthing inspection ready. I think we did a good job with the people that we had available. I was only unhappy with, who ever was suppose to clean the head failed to scrub the toilets and therefore left yellow stains that the XO could have seen from across the berthing. Basically he climbed all in our asses, with MAC see right behind him saying, " I though I told you about this yesterday."
By luch time I was ready to head out, so I used doing runs for supplies as an excuse to have an extended lunch.

this one of those days that I just live for. All was quiet just a day of writing jobs, giving maintenance men hell, just to make sure they were doing their check in accordance with the card. I don't want them to go to a spot check without a clue and end up standing tall before the man. At about 0930 I headed down to the berthing for one reason or another and noticed there wasn't any berthing cleaners. So we had 30 minutes in which to clean the berthing heads and showers, vestibules, and yada yada. So I had to stop all work topside and send them all below to get cleaning.
