I did indeed work on a ship! When I'm out staring out to sea from the beach I often think whistfully about being out there on a boat.
Also it continues to effect my daily life in that, whereas I think the normal thing to do is round timecards to the nearest 15 minutes, I round to the nearest time that is divisible by three, like we do for events in a ship's log (ie "1203: altered course to 355") so that it can be easily decimalized as a tenth or twentieth of an hour. Hence the 9 minute lunches instead of 10, etc. (:
