Work Sucks Sometimes


I work for the Air Force. In fact, I'm an officer, a 2 Lt if you will. I work in personnel, or administrative stuff. I have two coworkers. One is about 40 and has had 4 kids and is pregnant again, from 3 fathers, and has only been married once. The other is 22, and is pretty cool. When I first got to Edwards AFB life at work was simple. I didn't do much, and not much was expected of me. 6 and a half months later I'm in a position where if I make a mistake, I have to be reprimanded by the general. Oh boy! =/. Let's just say, I'm not excited about the idea of fully taking over this office. The more seasoned Sgt is supposed to be training me. She has, every now and then, if you can call what she does training...This Sgt started out really cool. She used to talk wit me, and joke with me. She even helped me start my car one morning when the battery had died. Now, she doesn't even acknowledge me at times. It's like I'm a burden to her. I have no idea what I have done to offend her. About a month ago is when she started being this way. Today I was so down I was questioning whether or not I should even be in the Air Force. I like being a part of the Air Force, I just don't like the situation I'm in. I'm just glad I don't have to be in this situation forever. There must be some higher purpose for these trials. I'll tell you what though. Some days I just want to tell her to shut up and quit being such a biatch. Do you think that would go over well?

Dear TSgt Aragon,

You have been making work really difficult for me this last month. I don't know what I did to offend you, but please stop being so catty and mean. I hate coming to work, and I leave with a sick stomach feeling every day. If there is anything I can do to help the situation, please let me know. I just want to have a work environment that's productive and promotes team work, instead of tearing each other down. Also, please train me. I don't think you are doing a very good job. Telling someone they should do this or that, and to remember this or that is not training. It's a half baked job at best. You need to show me, and tell me, and let me practice, and then check my work, and then show me again if I forget after the first time, cuz I'm not superhuman. Also, I'd kill myself if I were your new husband. Holy F, that man must have some screws loose.

Sincerely,
Lt Hart

this lady sounds like a total poo scum. Seriously. She should go... do something. I can't think of any funny/awful things for her to do.
