So, when I was still a minion of my Old Boss, she for some reason got it in her head to let D, me, and the lady who is now my New Boss pick out an item for ourselves from the Motivational Poster catalog (what’s that thing called?). The items arrived, Old Boss gave me my “Service” poster (I think it’s this one) but – shocker – I was too busy WORKING to actually hang the poster up. My office (mmm, glory days of an office with a door instead of a fishbowl desk in a room of biotches) had also been painted so I was trying to find a way to hang it without ruining the new paint job.
Then Old Boss demoted my sorry ass. Actually…sorry ass makes it sound as if I’m sorry I’m no longer her minion, when I’m not. So when I made the move to the Room of the BFAs (Bitches From Accounting – D calls them the BOA, Bitches OF Accounting, which is actually better as we do a lot of banking with Bank of America and this makes it more plausible as none of the BFAs actually have a Bachelors in anything, but especially Fine Arts), the stupid poster moved with me. I finally hung it up behind my desk.
But now, the Despair, Inc catalog has arrived at the house. Do you think anyone would notice if I took down my dorky Success poster and replaced it with this? If they’d notice, how long do you think it would take? Do you think I’d get in trouble? Do you think I’d ever get my crappy paltry raise? Do you think I’ll get a raise before, oh, say, the chairman’s son or the CFO’s fucktoy get raises?
(Kreskin suggests the answers are, “Yes, about a week, probably since it’s you, no raise regardless of what poster you hang because you are not the chairman’s son or the CFO’s fucktoy”).
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
