I Think It's Time

When the job becomes more difficult to accomplish because I don't have enough rank, it may be time to put in for a promotion. I'd been putting it off, feeling my way through the responsibilities I have now, trying to reassure myself that I'm competent...the Army has a way of exacerbating my already prodigious (excessive?) self-doubt. No really, I am a paragon of self-doubt. It may not seem like it in person on account of I rarely express my doubts unless asked directly. But I spend incredible amounts of time and energy reviewing my actions for error.

Anyways, the one thing that could really motivate me to this--my lowly position interfering with the accomplishment of my mission--has now come to pass. I mean really, would it be intolerable to use a specialist as a point of contact? Is the arrival of a single part really so critical that it must be supervised by a sergeant or officer?

Sigh.
