Who would have thought!!!
Well people guess what?? I got a promotion. Totally unexpected. Now I guess I will stay at Gap forever.
It was a pretty funny situation. I was late to work as is usually the case. I believe as a professional my task is to do the work not worry about punching the clock for the man. So I sauntered in around 10AM. Yeah, that's kinda late, but I am kinda good so it all balances out.
Well anyway I had barely sat down when THE DIRECTOR summoned me into his office. Now this was weird as the director often asked me questions but rarely summoned me. I figured I was going to get a rip for being late again as the boss is a bit of a sticler for timeliness. Anyway, as I walk into his office he gets up to shut the door behind me. I must admit I panicked at that point. I mean you don't need to shut the door to tell someone they need to come to work on time. I started my internal machismo. I mean I didn't want to cry when they suspended or worse yet, fired me. I summoned up all my hatred of the man, ready to spew forth like Mt. Vesuvius.
So I took my seat in the chair opposite him and steadied myself. He started talking and I barely listened, preparing my rebuttal. Then the most unexpected words came out. I would like to offer you the position of manager of real estate finance. Now this was doubly unexpected as I had actually told him I was interested in the position only to be flatly rebuffed six or so months ago. Additionally, there was a position I had wanted to apply for but they hemmed and hawed about it and wouldn't let me apply.
SO now I have this thing I have sought since I finished school. Michael the Manager. Who would have thunk it. Now the question that must be answered is will this finally settle my restless spirit. Will I finally have some since of accomplishment and sitisfaction that lasts longer than a fortnight. I am actually kind of nervous about my performance, but I am more concerned about the real possibility that I will still not be satisfied.
I think I just need a hot chick!!
PEACE!!!
