promo-what?

I am no longer the 'software and solutions specialist' - which turns out to be a REAL job description from a formal dusty book this organization has. I am now the Assistant Director.

I discovered all of this in a passing conversation and went to administration with probing questions to get to the bottom of it.

As it turns out, what I can earn increases, but they are not describing any accompaying pay increase with the title change at this point.

That's ok, because I'm quite content to now have a shorter signature line in my email.


It's always nice to indirectly find you've been promoted.

All this on the same day my boss leaves for a 2 month 2 week sabatical-vacation and i had to work late to milk his brain for every last drop before he disappears. Oh yea, and we get 3 new employees who of course will need computers and training and what not, and had a hard drive fail in a work station. See ya boss. I got this.

I hope.

tough

it's 2am and oscar the cat (who is grouchy at times) found a mouse to play with. not kill. play with.

after twenty minutes of watching him chase it around and snarl at it, I started hitting it across the room into the wall with a remaining 18" of shovel handel we put behind the sliding door. not just a wake up hit. a death blow. we're talking bouncing off the far wall hard, and this little mouse keeps walking away from it. I wish I was that tough.

I saw his toughness and raised him one plastic sour cream container in the trash.

we'll just hope alodia does not find him in the trash and start screeming. i'm pretty sure he'll live off the remaining sour cream in there and still be kicking around for several days.

poor oscar is still scouring the house looking for his toy.

snakey
