Ooh, sweet schadenfreude, msbelle.
Maybe I've always been here.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
OMG, msbelle. That's karma. I think she got exactly what she deserved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She got fired today.
Happy dance in my chair!

Had great convo with new boss last night. Hammered everything out. I was supposed to see the offer letter today, along with instructions for the drug testing. Nothing in my inbox as of yet. Do I ping him and ask where it's at, or do I let it go until tomorrow? I can't give notice until I take the drug test.

I love Matt's idea. What was the firing for? Any idea?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
No idea. I am being a bad human and trying to get all the gossip.
I mean the Jackhole boss is still there, but man am I glad she is gone.

It's after 5; I'd ping him tomorrow.
And karma IS a bitch. So many people need her lessons SO BADLY. I'm glad she got hers.

Thanks, Strix. I'm just so damned impatient to get on with it.

Ze mulch is finally gone! Only took two weeks.
After taking a closer look at the "unclaimed property" letter, I realized that it wasn't even for my current electric company. I haven't had PSE&G since I moved from Union County four years ago.
Now we're into holiday season planning, and now I'm caught in the middle of an ED who doesn't trust the DD to do her job, and so is doing it for her, and I'm having mini-meetings with both of them individually and trying to steer the madness without actually calling him on his BS. Dude, this is her job. I understand you don't trust her, but if that's the case, fire her. Otherwise step back and see how she does. She doesn't have awful ideas. And if she f's it up, well, let her go. I know it's a huge risk, which leads back to letting her go now.
I managed to steer a public meeting away from his cray-cray and into a place that everyone seemed happy with, including me and the DD, and then stood firm in a private meeting that while his one idea was exciting and I'd already made plans to accomodate it, I didn't have the time to personally implement it, and that we'd let the DD arrange for a designer to handle it. He offered up his own services.
Smile and nod.
