The Dispacther had what we called in the Navy, a ‘Short-Timers’ Attitude. She was running out the clock on this employment,and very likely leaving on bad terms, so her annoyance level was way up, while her professional guard was way down.
I have not heard that term in years. We had that in the Army also. Short timers were absolutely worthless. We stayed away from them in deployment if the C.O. didn't keep them back in the rear.
