Just complaining....

So I really like that I work for a Non-Profit organization that gives long term and short term nursing care for severely disabled and ill patients. I like the roll I have in care planning and physical adaptive assistance in leisure participation.
BUT
I hate that my supervisor is sooooo lazy. We are supposed to be a team. Granted I manage everything pretty well but I am doing all the work and she gets the benefits of socializing away, taking care of personal issues on the job, and having salary pay but no accountability for it. Really I like running the show but there is just sooo much work---- I need an assistant.
What really errks me is her work ethic and her unprofessionalism. I am not the only one to see aspects of this, though I get increased chance. It is sooooo sad. When she is on the floor everyone is bracing for an drama episode. Then she complains to me that everyone is ignoring her by bluntly not talking to her, not acknowledging her, and not giving her eye contact. She will then go on a rant and try to discount my work performance. I try not to play into her dramatic dilemmas but when she turns it on me.... I try not to show any emotion even though I am trying to hold down the defence that I feel burning inside me.
Honestly I am the 2nd intern but 3 student she assisted. I did blow her expectations out of the water by week 2. But even though the internship has been over for over 6 weeks she has not really given me the resources that I need. I mean a computer and printer. She knows that my computer skills outshine hers and just about everyone in our trailer, yet I am stuck writing out everything, which means I have to do everything by hand or at home on my own computer that she then questions my time spent at home working......... WHAT AN UGLY WITCH.
I can run circles around this lady....... not that I want to. I don't want the physical responsibility that she has because that means more accountability. I think I am in my ideal position, but there is still big problems.
Maybe I'm just tooo picky. But the way I see it is that I have that luxury. I work because I want to not because I have to. But my dilemma is that I LOVE making money and currently the money is decent considering our national economy.
Ugggggggg! OK, I think I'm done venting. We'll see how long I can tolerate it.

Everyone needs to be able to complain every now and again. Sometimes once it is said..its easier to get over. The trick is who you choose to say it to.

[ Yes, I came up with that one all on my own! ]
