Conflict Resolution

Woke up today having completed my first full night of sleep! Not sure if it was the sleeping pill, the cold medication or the beer but I finally had a full nights sleep. I did however wake up feeling much worse from my cold.. I also received my next three boxes that I had shipped about 2 weeks ago!! Man they are getting fast!

I spent the day in class with instructors from every corner of the world teaching us subjects that we had already taken back in May in Kingston. During our lunch break Chris and I proceeded to the Operations office to see if we could find out what team site that we were being assigned too. Chris did not want one particular site. I just wanted a main site and not one of the more remote sites. The Major from Pakistan asked if either of us could type English? Of course I said yes BUT why? He needed one of us to be a Staff Officer (Administration Officer in a office) in Juba. This is the one place that Chris did not want to go. So the Major put my name down. I asked if I would be doing UNMO Patrols and duties as well as Staff work. He said no and that was it I was assigned. As I left the office I realized that I have now been assigned as a Staff Officer and NOT as an UNMO for which I have been trained.

I bumped into one of the Canadian Majors and he said it was BS and brought me to see our CDN COL. He agreed that I should NOT be doing a staff job and he went to sort out the Pakistan Major.

I also discovered later that if I was a Staff Officer I would of also lost my second vacation period!!! F That!!!

So I am keeping my fingers crossed as the assignment list should be out tomorrow and I will find out what Team Site I have been assigned... I hope they don't screw me now and put me at a new site with no amenities.

I am cutting open my boxes tonight looking for my Cold FX and my Vitamin C!! Man this cold SUCKS!
