| 摘要： | Along time ago, an old captain of mine had a great term for crewmembers who could reliably be found in the galley if they were not otherwise immediately and unavoidably occupied performing a specific duty. He called them "galley creatures." These crewmembers were typically parked in front of the television almost full-time. They often had very little interest in, or even a basic awareness of, what was going on around them. It was amazing to pull this off in the typically high-energy environment of New York Harbor. Galley creatures, by definition, would not let career ambitions and gaining valuable knowledge and experience get in the way of, say, watching an episode of the "Jerry Springer Show." Are these "creatures" merely watching for entertainment, or are they dreaming of auditioning for the show themselves? Who knows? The important point is that for anyone who desires to advance beyond being an OS deckhand, the early portion of one's career should not be entirely spent watching television, going down the infinite number of internet rabbit holes, or "gaming" on your smartphone. |
