Good and Bad

I had a very funny post written and I saved it to preview, and WordPress deleted it/couldn’t find it.  God.Damn.It.  Instead of trying to recreate something that cracked myself up, I’ll just tell you:

I got the job offer for the interim two-month director position (which doesn’t officially open until February 1, which will not officially close until they paper screen, interview, and hire sometime before April 1 – and this was fast tracked, folks – YOUR tax dollars at work)!

**insert picture of a happy dance, here**

There are quite a few cons, but the weight of the pros dictate that I take up the challenge (because it’s not going to be easy by any means), that I give it my best shot at effectively leading, training and directing (and catching the department up to speed on process improvement and automation, not to mention basics like sorting within Excel, formulas, and the use of email as a way to communicate (instead of the Pony Express or the use of smoke signals – and I edited my uber-catty comments because I’m practicing benevolence – PRACTICING).  This interim position does not guarantee or imply any assurances if I do apply for the permanent position (of course I’ll apply!).  If I don’t get the permanent job, I go back to my regular job, which has been awesome since they hired my new manager several months ago – and he’s faboo.

One cannot sell out if they’ve already admitted they’re a data whore.  Besides, baby needs new shoes.
