I ain't writin' a lot, it bein' Labor Day weekend an' all, but aside from all these apostrophes, I jus' wanted to announce that I interviewed for an internal promotion on Thursday and, as of Friday at 4pm, I was offered the job - and I accepted. So, no more mailroom antics, but don'choo worry...the new people I'll be working with are just as bizarre and backwards-thinking as those what I gots now.

I am now an HMO claims analyst and precisely 33 cents more valuable per hour to my company.

Still a lousy job, but not QUITE as lousy - at least it looks better than "mailroom slacker" on a resume.

If I may toot my own horn for a sentence or two, let me say that I kicked that interview's BUTT, and I proved to myself that I am still as smart as I think I am. The supervisors that interviewed me actually wrote down some of my answers to use as questions for other applicants, which is pretty cool, and they still picked me out of a field of about 19 other people.

There. Mine horn be tooted forthwith.

Happy Not-Working-Day to all!


Ach!

  1. You deserve to toot your horn (hee hee) baby! You are brilliant and you kicked ass in that interview. It's very vindicating and proud-making when other people get to see the smarts that you usually save for us loved ones.

    Hmmm, 3% richer AND sexier...I'll have to beat those crazy Claims lady-co-workers away with a stick! Maybe I'll pee around your new cubicle to mark my territory...
