Pet Peeves

So, as an MP, when we do a case we use a predetermined format for each case. On the desk here, we use them for reports of incidents only, mostly because the desk sergeant doesn't type up the synopsis for anything but. The problem comes when I realized that they really are quite useless. It only takes simple common sense and reasonable deduction to determine the type of information that needs to go in a report. However, it's really quite annoying when too many people come up behind you while you're working and tell you certain ways to do things. The bad part is that they more than likely supersede you in the chain of command and, therefore, you must listen to them. If you piss them off too much, by not doing it their way, you could lose quite a bit. The thing that annoys me most is when they tell me things like, "click on. . ." or "Grab a cover sheet, a pen and write. . . " Really? I'm on a computer and I'm going to click on something? I need to write something and I need a pen to do so? Amazing. You have opened my eyes in so many ways. On the job training needs to be trained themselves. I told a private tonight that there's nothing I hate more than having my intelligence insulted. Tell me what needs to be done. If I run it by you, it's for a second set of eyes and ears. I check to make sure all the t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted, not to see if it's done YOUR way. I believe firmly in collaboration. Don't tell me step-by-step how to do it. You may as well do it yourself. I would like to make it clear that this is not a complaint about a specific person, but this does apply to my whole life. I don't care what is suppose to be done, just tell me what it is and I will make sure it gets done. If I believe there is a "right" way, I will ask. I suppose I am opposed to offers of assistance.
