Well, time is....wait for it 0730 HRS.

I finally got a full night's sleep.


First time I didn't need to use the pills either, things are starting to get easier, but it seems that every time I fix a problem, hundreds more spring up.

*sigh, random shuffling noises*

For once, it's not me in the hot seat, but my boss Lieutenant Stone has been taking a lot of flak, and I feel that, though he brings it on himself most of the time, he's only trying to make things work better, more efficient for the ship.

Hard to do when you have three quarters of your crayons missing from the box.

*sigh*

It's wierd...I feel like I should hate this guy, I mean he's rude, obnoxious and he gets under my sking...but I understand him now that I read his file. I just wish there was more I could do to keep the crap from piling up on his desk.

That being said...

You need respect to run a department efficiently, and I don't think he really has any, no respect means no authority and when you command authority without respect, you leave yourself open to have the things that Lieutenant Stone has gone through.

*drinking noises*

There was a reason I didn't want to be an officer, I didn't want to deal with the piles of crap that end up on people's plate. I know I could do the job, I've commanded teams and sent people away to do things, but never on a scale that equated to an entire department, but I know that respect of your crewmates always makes the job easier....I'm scared that Stone is going to burn himself out trying to make his way the only way.

These people have no problem adjusting their work ethic...but it needs to be done in a dfferent way. It's just getting him to try that other way that's the real problem.

Computer end log.
