My job is to make sure you can do your job.

Thats what happens when you spend too much time goofing off on the WAB.
Cannot get your work done and have to work through lunch

Sir, Do you need a 1stSgt to come by and give you a "pep talk"?

I got the msg via email , and can not verify its authenticity , but still highly amusing and if true , she must have wet herself with that answer

No...I just need to get a real job where I get work loaded properly!!!

As I said before to someone else, my job goes in spurts, sometiem pretty bizarre. Right now I am working on Korea, Alaska and Hawaii units. So I plow through a pile of e-mail, wait for responses and work to that. I also will end up travelling to some sites and put in 14 hour days on site.

As my corporate boss says so long as my government boss is happy, he is happy. I just have to average out 45 hours a week on the time card and I am good to go.

So if a 1st Sergeant can fix that, okay.
