My absolute most favorite person in the entire world is my sister. She's two years younger than I am, she's got more mysterious medical ailments that consistently have the doctors stumped, she's got anxiety issues, she works forty hours a week while going to school full time and basically has enough stress in her life due to all of the above (except the age thing--that's my stress because I can't picture her being thirty) that she really doesn't need any more.
So this is part of the reason why my protective instincts are rearing their ugly heads and all I want to do is fly down to New Mexico and beat the ever loving shit out of people.
My sister is a paralegal in a public defender's office that is suffering from government imposed furloughs/hiring freezes/wage freezes--so not only do they have to defend people who really just aren't the cream of society, office morale is in the pits. In addition to all this, my sister has to deal with the lazy bitches in her office who have it in for her. My sister is an extremely hard working person--she'd have to be in order to balance two full schedules of classes and work and still maintain an 'A' average. She gets her work done quickly, efficiently, and she does it well. She is constantly being assigned extra jobs that they would normally hire other people to do because they know she can get it done and the attorneys fight to have her as their paralegal. As you can imagine, this creates some resentment amongst the other paralegals who have been there much longer and get a whole lot less done. Lately, they've gone out of their way to make complaints against her (complaints that go in her record), schedule her to cover shifts during her class times (and then get pissy when she complains to their superiors), and just today decided to use her new car as an ashtray.
My sister does not need this kind of bullshit stress in her life and I'd very much like to go down there and inform each of them of this. Nicely, of course. With a goddamn phaser set just above 'stun'. Or a team of mercenaries to back me up. Or hell, if I could afford it, my own legal team to sue the fucking pants off of the whole department. This is just not normal adult behavior (or so I'd hope but I currently have very little faith in humanity).
This kind of crap just drives me crazy. And I still want to beat the ever loving shit out of them for messing with my sister.
Yeah, I'm gonna be a great manager.
