How things change

I am much calmer now. To a point. We have a shitty sign in front of the clinic. It is constantly being sandblasted by the wind here. It is a shitty, sandblasted sign. It is not painted. It is made of tape. A taped, shitty, sandblasted sign. We have asked for a real sign. A real, painted sign. I have asked for one for 6 months. We still have out same, sagging, sorry ass  sign. And we have been issued a violation for it. "Poor signage" the violation reads. "No shit," says I. Poor, shitty, sandblasted signage. You're kidding me, right? Nope. But wait it gets better. Really.
It's hard to describe how this all works. Who all these people are and their relationship with us is a two hour lecture. Basically as a subcontractor we fall under "subcontracts." Which is a division of Dyncorp under the LOGCAP IV project. And there is a guy in charge of that department and his second in command. His second in command, lets call him Barney Fife, is the one taking pictures of our clinic, etc. Well, he's gone. We are all part of this subcontractor group, and we are doing a good job. Too good. We are getting praise from the big bosses and demanding that they live up to their side of the contract. In return we are getting this childish BS. Anyone who knows me knows that I have zero tolerance for this crap. I have spent my life fighting injustice. So, sitting on the sidelines is not an option for me, but that is what I was told to do. So, sit I did. And fume.  In the morning I announced that if this "harassment" doesn't stop, I am going home. And driving right to Diane Feinstein's office. Without even taking a shower first. I used the magic words, hostile work environment. That got their attention. We filed an ethics charge, which they had to answer. And they did. The corporate lawyer was here, was briefed on the situation and said in his most lawyerly way, quote,"that's bullshit," unquote. So Barney Fife is out of here. His boss has apologized to us as a company. There is a new person in charge. And our violation for poor signage, revoked. I guess that in itself was worth the fight...
