Miasmatic Review: Contagion the Supervisor

March 08, 2006

Contagion the Supervisor

I GOT IT! Well it looks like my charm paid out. I over came the stigma of it being a lateral transfer for the supervisor position. That means no more minions. Since I’ll have direct reports I’m going to have to be more polite in my nicknames for them. This of course means no more minion stories; I’ll actually have to be nice to my reports. But maybe when I need to pull a stunt I’ll go over to my old stomping grounds. The timing couldn’t have been better either. My new manager (From the other office) is up to old tricks again. Now I don’t have to care as that in a week I’ll no longer be reporting to her.

And before anyone starts in on the EEOC BS about me getting the position; the candidate I beat out would have also filled more EEOC requirements than I did.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go do a little celebrating.

Thank you all, I appreciate it. The fun part is that now I have to train someone to do my old/current position. This could be amusing in and of itself. I just hope they take my advice when the interviewing time comes on who would make a good replacement.

Congrats! I'd raise a glass, but then I'd fall down. umm....that might make someone's day. *snork*

Hehehe I can just imagine it now.. you'll gain a repution of not being able to speak a complete sentence because of the frequency in which you'll have to censor yourself when talking to your min...., er, employees :)

You should draw up a Pact With Satan form as part of the new trainee's requirements for your old job :)

BTW Congrats. First round is on me.

Scotch for everyone...hoist your glasses; a toast to the new (blog fodder) supervisor...here, here!!!

Posted by: h~ at March 9, 2006 08:59 AM

What's all the surprise about? A guy with a hairy sporran and balls of steel should be able to wow just about anyone.

Tonight I'll raise a glass of Tullamore Dew and raise my favorite toast in your general direction -- "Up your kilt, Laddie!"

Posted by: Omnibus Driver at March 9, 2006 09:40 AM

Fantastic! All the best with the new position.

Posted by: Laughing Wolf at March 9, 2006 02:07 PM

Good luck anyway...
