bouncingbean's Journal: So... Tuesday night at the Reserves

So Tuesday I went out to the Reserves as I usually do. A major comes out of his office and says "Leon go find out if these 3 guys can work this weekend" so of course I say "yuppers mister sir!" and get my ass into gear and find out if they can work. As I am calling one of the guys my troop sergant major (warrent officer) walks in and goes what are you doing sir? I don't mean to rag on you but you get me to do it, you don't do it. I look at him and I can't help but think how everytime I asked him to do something he would bitch at me about having to do it. At the beggining of this summer I stopped asking him to do stuff (minor jobs like doing a call outs), it wasn't worth the arguments. Now he's cranking about me not delegating minor jobs to him. It was a 5 min job for me to do but if I did delegate it, it would get done in about an hour. Argh! Damned if you do damned if you don't.
