I knew it was bad news as soon as I walked into the board room and saw my manager sitting there! He?s the manager of the whole unit which is my team and 6 other teams (7 all-up). He?s tendered his resignation, which means that I?m going to spend my weekend drafting a PD. It gets worse... I have to act in his position until a replacement is found ](*,)

No guys, it's not good news even though there is more money... that guy has weekly board meetings which is shit I hate attending.

There goes my camping weekend!

Yeah? How would you like taking fat, ungrateful, pain-in-the-ass clients to lunch every week for ?superior customer service? sake? Also, now I gotta wear a full suit to work for the next 4 weeks. GRRRR! Don?t get me wrong, I love my job, but that?s just it, I love MY JOB, not someone elses!

I'll bet you right now the board are expecting me to apply for that job too. Sorry but my work-life balance (which will go out the window) is more important to me than a bigger paycheck!

I...

You...

You make me want to pay borrow $50,000 from my bank, pay surgeons to install a uterus in me and stab said uterus with a pen repeatedly.

Go away.

Good, so if you love your job. Do your f*cking job, right now - that is filling in the position the boss asked of you. It's still the same job. Just a bit of extra criteria on top. Most people would kill to be in your position.

Your bosses want/are expecting you to apply for the job? Geez, that's a pretty good sign if you ask me. But of course, you can't see that. I mean, to get recognition from the board, you must be doing SOMETHING right after all.

Clearly, you've never heard of the term "Work smarter". Just because someone above you gets a fatter pay-check, does not mean he works 24-7. Even if he does work a few more hours, a promotion is something any career-driven person wants to chase.

Also, What a nice way to describe your clients, I'm sure they'd be most pleased. I wonder if they think the same of you? For the record, I do deal with clients and other people in a professional sense, both at work and on a university level so I'm well aware of these things you call "lunches".

Customer service and making a client/customer feel special goes along away as opposed to "Just doing business", a small personal approach never hurt anyone. But of course, they're not some surgically enhanced wilder-beast for you to stare at, so you probably have no interest in what comes out of their mouth.

Life is shit

Can't a guy walk down the street without being offered a promotion and a raise

What kind of raises we talking about?

Make sure you don't stab your human eggs! :crazy:

What a lovely fantasy world you have created for yourself. Doesn't quite have the mensa male model police officer ring to it though I'm afraid.

You know what? In regards to BF. I told you so :fist: I told you Superthreads needed saving, before something happened. You all called me a cranky old man. Well, reap what you have sown, peasants :fist:

I can just picture BF's 'meeting':

He stumbles into the kitchen at his Mum's place in gray tracksuit pants covered in mysterious stains and a singlet that was once white but has now gone the yellow of pus.

Rubbing sleep from his eyes and trying to hide the morning glory he's still sporting, he asks:

"What's for breakfast, Mum?"

"Well, my big boy," she says with enthusiasm she hasn't felt with regards to her son in close to a decade, "I've got good news! You're getting a promotion!"

He picks something from his ear, sniffs it, and flicks it onto the floor. Unperturbed, his Mum continues:

"You've been doing such a good job of keeping your basement tidy and getting all of your wee wee in the toilet that I thought it was time we expanded your role with the... ahem... company".

Inwardly, she is weeping. Her boy, once a bouncing bundle of potential, has amounted to this disappointing nobody. Still, she's determined to drag him kicking and screaming into the real world even if she has to do it inch by inch.

"But I don't WANNA!"

His lip trembles and his eyes are already ringed with tears. She can sense a tantrum coming.

"Now, now poopykins," she quickly reassures him, "You'll like this. You'll get more pocket money and you get to wear a special suit!"

"A cowboy suit?" his tantrum forgotten, his eyes light up and he begins to bounce excitedly like a genius on an excursion.

"Not exactly," she responds, "You'll be wearing a button up shirt and a pair of jeans".

The tears begin. Fifteen minutes passes before he's done pissing himself and kicking things. When he's ready, she speaks again.

"Now, take this piece of very important paper to that building on the corner and the man there will give you your money".

"What's a 'Centrelink?' he asks with vacant eyes and a trickle of dribble running down his unshaven, ugly face.

She pats him on the back and sends him on his way.
