Well, the shit has already begun at the new gig. First, although I was offered an office on the faculty floor, I'm on the administrative floor (which is not a big deal, it's more that the boss made an offer, and then didn't come through. I'm not surprised, though).
And the big deal is that apparently there's some issue with the title he promised me, that I can't be a Director if I don't supervise people. I made it VERY clear that I would not accept a position that did not have a lateral title move (i.e. Assistant Director, or Special Assistant). And now, he's all "we'll see what we can do when I get back"
And let's not mention how he gave me FOUR DAYS notice before I had to report, and he's not even fucking HERE on the first day and didn't have the courtesy to let me know that ahead of time. ARGH.
Not boding well. But then, I knew that.
I can't be a Director if I don't supervise people.
Oi. Can you look up what people like you are called at our other local law schools? Maybe they'd accept Senior/Special Project Manager?
Well, it's BS because I didn't supervise anyone at my old job, with the same title (although technically I was supposed to have an assistant). The problem is that getting a new job title created/approved is a nightmare, which is why I have the generic title that I do (Director of Special Projects). It seems to me that they can just have me supervise one of the admins or something, it's stupid.
Vortex, sorry to hear about all of the BS on your first day. Best of luck getting it all straightened out.
Can I have some ~ma for 12pm board time today? I am having my first iron infusion at that time, and I am very nervous.
votex- i though of you last night. the hula hooping instructor has lots of crazy moves, including one called a "vortex". It does not, however, feature boobs. In fact, a prodigious rack makes it very difficult. But it sure was cool looking!
sj - starting the ~ma now so it will have plenty of time to build up :)
I think in here is where we come for the hugs and hairpats, right? A friend of ours died Saturday night in his sleep (or that's the story as of today). He would've been 40 in September. I talked to him on Friday, and thought I would see him yesterday. I have several sweaters of his that I was mending. I'm just aghast that someone could die that suddenly and so young.
Oh, my, DJ, that's very sad and sudden, and here you go: {{{Daisy Jane}}}

That's so sad when someone so young dies like that.
