Incredible levels of sheer violent rage.
My Mum is up here staying with me for a week. Got here 2 days ago, leaving next Wednesday. We are so horrifically flat out at work I didn't even take time off, but knew I could devote the whole weekend to spending time with her, as opposed to her seeing me at night for a couple of hours before I collapsed into bed as has been the case the last couple of days.
The Battalion Ball is tomorrow, but I am not going for the very reason above. So to reward me for wanting to spend 2 days with my Mum and not taking time off during the work week due to actually having a work ethic, I have been punished by being put on guard tomorrow as the commander. Guard goes 24 hours, 0700-0700. That has ruined the whole weekend and I have had to take double a strong dose of calmative (Mersyndol) to just get my temper under control. I had this dropped on me last thing at work today, and plenty of other guys didn't even front for the 'please explain' session required for those not going to the ball to attend. Yet I and the guy I work with were the only ones to be honest and front up, yet we are the ones being punished.
I don't care if they fuck me around, but this bullshit - over a glorified AJ pissup - has punished my Mum, and that is just not fucking on. There will be serious repercussions from this, I have lost any desire to do any extra at work, and now no longer wish to go on the next deployment. From now on it's just 'work to rule' for me, fuck them all, the filthy c**ts.
This is what I get for doing my best, and never asking for anything in return for myself.
Disrespect me - whatever. Disrespect my Mum - I will not be held responsible for the consequences.
