Have I complained recently?

OK, so I know I haven’t blogged a lot lately.  Mainly because I have a five month old baby, and my high-speed internet isn’t as high speed as i would like it to be…Any-who, because I haven’t blogged as of late like I used to, I have decided that it is time for me to bitch, moan, and complain about my job…or rather the people that think i work for them at my job…

I am still in the Army.  I have no civilian job, I work full time for my Army Unit.  I love being in the Army.  The Army gives me some good friends, most that will last a lifetime, it gives me an extended family, it gives me job security (which with today’s economy security in your job is practically priceless,) and it gives me something to talk about with people.  Whether it be complaining or praising…

So, I am my Brigade’s Paralegal Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge (NCOIC).  I work for the Brigade Commander and in his absence I work for the SSA (who, on the military side, is my Battalion Sergeant Major)  I don’t work for anyone in the friggin S1 Shop.  (the S1 Shop is the office where all the human resource, personnel, and administration work is done)

I work directly for the Colonel or his representative, not a friggin Warrant Officer that thinks she is king shit on turd hill, not the SAS, not the HR SGT, NO ONE BUT THE COL OR HIS REP!

This WO1 continues to think, or act as if she thinks, I work for her.  She tells me I need to give her updates instead of leaving her out of the loop about what I’m doing and the status of all the packets I’m working.  She asks me, “Do you understand what I mean when I tell you that I need updates?”  I want to tell her to go eat shit, or crawl into a whole and sit there until someone lets her know it’s OK to come out…I want to tell her to go f*ck herself.  Do I understand….is she friggin serious?!?!?

She thinks I give everyone updates except her, when in actuality, I don’t give anyone updates until something is completed, or changed in some way.  I don’t feel like it’s necessary to tell her that 1 day has passed since I mailed something out or that 2 days have passed since I last gave her the same f*cking update I gave her 2 days ago.  It’s a waste of time and makes the work I’m doing seem monotonous.

I just wish she would shut her fat f*cking mouth and let me work the way I know how, and the way I’m supposed to.  It’s Micro-Managing at it’s worst.  She also feels it necessary to tell me when her deadlines are.  I want to tell her that I don’t give a f*ck when her damn deadlines are, I have my own to worry about and if she hasn’t noticed I don’t try to burden her with mine so please do me the courtesy of not trying to burden me with hers.

I hate it when people that are not my boss act as if they are.  Like they have some major influence in or on what I do or do not do.  I want to take this time out and tell her to kiss my tush!

Thank You for letting me vent!  Until next time~~Happy  Blogging!
