Ready for the weekend
Posted by Gypsy on Dec 29, 2005
This week has been the most boring week ever at work. I had to work Tuesday, Wednesday and today and I haven’t done jack shit the entire time. There just isn’t anything to do and no one even notices I’m here. Tuesday I finally got fed up and left at 3, yesterday I left at noon and today it looks like I’ll leave around the same time.
On top of it, I was supposed to have tomorrow off, but there is another homecoming and I have to cover it. No big deal, except that they’ve known all week this was going to happen and wait until today to tell me. Of course, that’s the only thing the few people who are working this week have even said to me all week. And on top of it, they don’t even have information on what time they are coming in. So now I have to sit by the phone and just wait for a phone call. I can’t make plans or anything.
I’m really just ready to be done with the Army. Mentally, I already am, but I still have to go through the motions for a couple more years. I was going to make a New Year’s resolution to just accept that I’m stuck for a bit longer and tough it out without being so bitter, but I’m just not capable of that at the moment. At this point, my whole office and everyone I work with could be swallowed up in an earthquake and I woudn’t care.
I think it’s funny when I hear people say the bullshit we put up with in the Army isn’t nearly as bad as the civilian sector. I completely beg to differ, since in the civilian sector, at least I’d always have the option of quitting if the bullshit became too much to handle. I can’t do that hear, though I would really love to.
Sorry, everyone. I’m having a bitter day. I’ll try and cheer up before my next post.
