Yesterday, on the roof of the bridge, I took photos and videos with the camera and with the gopro. Before that, I adjusted the time to the current one.
Result:
Photos of the camera are marked with 15:00, videos of the same camera and taken at the same time are marked with 18:00 [in the file-property-details German: “Medium erstellt” (“Medium created”) but “Änderungsdatum” (“date of change”) 15:00 and “Erstelldatum” (“date of creation”) the date/time when I transferred it to the PC, in this case, the next day].
and gopro videos are marked with 23:00 (both “Änderungsdatum” and “Erstelldatum” only refer to the date/time when I transferred it to the PC).
This is one of the main reasons why editing my videos is complicated when I combine gopro and normal clips to one video, as I can’t rely on the data to know the sequence of the clips.
So far, I thought it was partly my fault, maybe I didn’t change the settings correctly, but now I did and see the results. On 8th, we have the next change of time, then it should be Malaysian time (by the way, my watch must be set on BKK time to show the time we have now and the PC has Kuala Lumpur time now)
Today at 12:25, I was the last one to come to lunch and when I greeted, no one answered and at “my” table, all the Romanians just talked on without looking at me. I just wonder if there is any reason related to “wrong” behaviour on my side. I can live with these reactions (if they were reactions and related to me at all) but I don’t want to make someone angry or annoyed. I start thinking about possibilities and find ~3. So, I will come at 12 next lunch, to see if this makes any difference (but maybe it is too late to make it better?!). Second would be the expectation that I should/would participate more and communicate more from my side. Well, it also could be that they don’t want to be bothered too much by passengers, it is hard to guess. If I see a good chance, I would talk about expectations and problems regarding passengers with the chief officer. It the last possibility may sound a bit weird or just funny. It is about my eating habits or some of them ?…
Today at breakfast, I took an empty glass of Nutella and filled it with milk and muesli. I notoriously do that, because I want to clean the glass before it goes to trash. I just placed it on the table and ate some bread. I wanted to take it to my cabin and do this cleaning process in privacy. But when my table-neighbour came, it was obvious that he thought about that glass. Did I acquire a glass of Nutella for me? So, I opened it and ate a bit to make visible what is inside. But if someone who is not acquainted with the best way to clean up a Nutella glass, now still is uncomfortable, I can understand it. And especially this officer! (To be more exact: 2nd engineer). It is that one who notoriously leaves the vegetables on his plate. And even soup and water, where we serve our selves and can decide how much we take, he leaves half eaten/drunk. And the last Nutella glass, he “emptied” (only with a spoon – that cannot work!) and put it on/in the plate with half eaten soup and then the same with a glass of jam. First, carelessly scratching around with his spoon and then drowning it in the soup, neighboured by a napkin that even cannot swim, just get soaked with his soup.
So, no wonder, that I now had to take a jar of jam finished it (on bread) and also filled it with milk for later adding the muesli.
How should people with so different views on the essence of life become friends?
I only hope that I don’t get a negative report and all the other cargo ship passages will be cancelled.
In the afternoon, I finished the editing!! The “family-videos” (the week in and around Tabriz and the same in Shiraz) are now each put together (there is no strong connection between the clips of different days, no story is told, so it was more or less making a row of them).
I have a list of things that I want to do now.
Maybe I can enjoy that freedom or I find some way (or something) to create a bit pressure…
here some totally new motives for photos on a cargo ship trip
