It Only Took 5 Months
A break from the regularly scheduled break because the most bizarre thing happened to me yesterday:
I completely and totally LOST. MY. SHIT at work. Lost it. Gone. The 14-hour work days and nonstop demands of my clients finally just broke me. I started screaming at my computer like a fucking banshee. People were backing out of my office afraid to move too quickly lest I unleash my unholy rage on them.
The clients, however, got exactly what they wanted and couldn't have been happier. Because that's what I do.
My boss then promptly offered me a promotion.
Yay.

I can't explain why, but after this post, I really adore you even more. Congratulations, hot thang!
so that's your secret? just go off on everyone internally and be perfect for everyone externally? i've been doing it backwards the whole time! glad you came back from break though, i was going through GPG withdrawls. it's just like what i'd imagine how it feels to give up crack.
Sorry, JY. I'm only drive-by posting. No one volunteered to work for me, so I have to work instead of blog. If someone wants to GUESTBLOG for me, though, I'd totally take them up on it.
Also, the promo won't go into effect until the summer and I'm not quite sure I'm going to take it anyway. We will see.
I have to survive until then first.
I'd guestblog for you... but I already have to do mine. I wouldn't bother looking for one, though, since people are a littel flaky about blogging in my experience...
I think JTS should do it. Since he has nothing to do at work now.
I sure hope you cleaned your monitor .... now repeat after me "breathe and put the numchucks down..."
congrats on the offer!
Oh hell yeah! I'm sure your readers would love to read about trumpet and porn. :)
I never go off. But I must always look like I'm about to 'cause everyone talks to me in CALM and SOOTHING tones. Fuck that pisses me off.
Roonie told me today that she didn't think I was the type to scream at inanimate objects.
Au contraire, mes amis! I have a wickedly nasty temper and a VERY short fuse. Just because I keep it under wraps does not mean I will not unleash a torrent of violent anger at any given moment.
I am, after all, a hot-blooded Latina.
Congrats!!
Well done, ye girl, ye!
Promotions for losing stuff and usnig an outdoor voice indoors? I'll have to give that a try.
Promotions for consistently kicking ass, outshining my peers, and handling almost all of it with grace under tremendous pressure.
Losing shit notwithstanding.
My clients love me. My coworkers enjoy having me around. And most importantly, my bosses adore me and recognize it all.
I just wish I didn't have to work so damn hard, you know?
hmm, so all i have to do is throw a big fit as long as the customers are happy? i'll have to try your technique soon....
If you are so damn good that the occasional fit is not only ignored but actually expected, then yeah, that's how it works.
Of course, the clients NEVER see what happens behind the scenes.
