Incompetence + Work = Me Going Crazy

Current Song: "Hell Yeah" - Montgomery Gentry

Ever have those people that just make you bat shit insane? And then you work with them everyday. Their incompetence is astounding and you wonder how they even got this far in life. But yet somehow everything they do wrong is defended... I don't get that shit at all. If it were me, I'd be written up, reprimanded, SOMETHING. But somehow they get away with everything, even things that cost us money. Talk about making some of us crazy. Hell, I just had to pay drivers for scale tickets, and it clearly has 1 driver's name on it, who filled it out himself - truck number, name, workorder ... and she wrote a totally different driver and workorder on it. And they wonder why some of them never get their pay - I caught three scale tickets with the wrong names written on them by two people in this office. S and I agree, if we were the only two in here, we'd rock the hell out of this place.

Shirley used to be the transportation manager of Charleston, then moved to Operations Specialist, traveling to different terminals to teach all positions. I've sat in every seat in the dispatch office in the mere 9 months I've worked here - my job, then the dispatch billing (which I did on top of my job for 3 months after Jennifer was let go), then I did those two jobs AND local dispatching for a week, and then in December, spent a week doing my job and OTR dispatching. Never been trained in any job but my own, but was awesome at all 4. That is probably what makes me so downright insane. I know how to do all of these jobs, can do multiple ones at a time, and the Dumbass Extraordinaire can't even do hers. The new one drives me insane with each repeated question, multiple times per day. ACK.

I need my own office area. Melinda has her own down in Savannah. I need peace and quiet. Or less aggravation. I've even worn headphones listening to Pandora and it doesn't make a difference - still talks to me like I'm paying attention. The new one is nice enough, but not the brightest. We joke saying its like the movie "50 First Dates"... you tell her something one day (or even one hour), and the next, its the same questions all over again. That's been going on for 2 months now...

Well I think I'm just going to go lose my mind now. Work on some school work maybe - this is last semester before getting my A.A.S. in Management: Transportation & Logistics. Not like it will net me a larger salary here at this point in time, but who knows what the future will bring - whether it be beneficial here, or in other endeavors. And it looks nice on a resume (and LinkedIn, and Facebook, ha!). Right now I just need to find something to do to look busy since suddenly I'm needed again to catch up dispatch billing - I don't know how it falls behind when half the job I was doing when I filled in before is no longer even their responsibility. *Spaz*
