My husband is somewhat of a ninja. He hides his emotions behind deep brooding eyes, and by nature of what he does is often reserved about talking about work. He is stealthy and reserved about what he devulges.
However, occasionally he just cannot help himself. He brakes his quiet front and shouts, "Bees!!!"
Well in this case he had actually emailed the shout ,because he was away at the time.
"Bees!!?,"he yelled. He dropped what he was doing, the crew demanded that he be called for. He moved through the small passage ways and out onto the deck of the ship. The scene he found was like something from a horror film.
6 people standing around a bucket with worried looks. With great relief they brought my husband to the bucket. They thanked him for coming, "thank goodness, we didn't know what to do!" Now , at this point I feel it's important you know that my husband is not an exterminator, he's not a biologist, he is a medical provider. That being said, he did exactly what any medical professional would do. He lifted the bucket and with help from the second medical man the crew had called, he used a technique he'd only heard about called ' kicking the jacket full of bees down the deck'.
After some time he picked the jacket up, met with gasps from the onlookers, he then shook the jacket over the rail.
Thank heavens he was on the scene.
Needless to say he was heated as he yelled about it in his email too me. He'd thought there was someone bleeding or at very least being stung by the bees! When they came and said there was an emergency with bees they needed him right away to handle.
THIS may be why he's general pretty quiet about what he does at work. Go figure.
