My own little bitchfest

Oh god I need a break.
We're currently on stand down. Which for most means.. 1 out of 3 days (when not on leave) you on Duty... and the other 2 you have off. Is a sweet deal really, since Iknowother ships right next to us are having duty days and work days.. where you still only get weekends off. So we have a good deal.
Only problem is I'm trying to balance my duty with my work, and the fact that I have a HUGE inspection coming through in just over a month. The real problem with this comes from the fact that the space I have, was hardley touched (and not in a good way!) over the time I was cranking. I seem to work in what ends up as the red-headed step child of supply, that which we call HazMat.
The job doesn't bother me. I have no problem getting down and dirty to get my work done. I've spilled some of those lovely greases, fluids, alchahols over myself and never mentioned a word of complaint about the dirtyness. The only thing that makes me mad though is the fact that I have a HUGE offload of materials to offload tommorow, and I know that no one is going to really help me out... cept maybe for 1 guy. That's what angers me....
The fact is I know I'd drop most anything I was working for to help someone out. I'm just that type of guy.. in truth I'm almost a 'too nice' of a guy...the problem is the fact that even if you go out of your way to help a lot of people.. it just seems that most of the time they won't help you back.
Maybe this is just the military.. who knows.. but it's always at least to me seemed to be a fact of life, except for a few 'extrodinary' people of course. Yeah, it' the unfairness of life... I admit that.. I know aboutthat.. Hell I cranked, trust me anyone who's been a Crank in the Navy KNOWS about unfair.
It just annoys me that those who are here, I'm going tohave to beg, plead, almost bribe to get to help me offload what I need to get rid of. Maybe just the act of offloading about 30, near full 5 gallon cans doesn't seem fun to me.. specially since I have to move them all about 100 yards each at least...
Oh well.. I guess this was just my bitchfest to make myself feel better.
