The insults keep on coming

[missdiane]

So back during my annual review, a reminder that Bosslady pretty much dismissed me again saying she was prioritizing getting a position that reports to Elaine and I'll just have to suck it up yet again with no help and no advancement.

This morning, I was cruising the internal job listings, as one does who is looking to stick around long enough to qualify for retirement but hopefully get a boss that sucks marginally less. I saw a listing with a title of Senior Project Administrator. I'm a Senior Program Administrator so it would be the same pay grade but hey, may as well take a peek at it.

Oh...

So Elaine, who was the same pay grade as me a few years ago before her boss quit and she got an upgrade is getting a helper monkey that's going to be at MY pay grade. Well ain't that a slap in the fucking face?

Whatever.

Then I got an email just now from one of the gals down the hall that's Bosslady's assistant that says this:
Hi Diane,

I met with (Bosslady) just now and she asked that I share the new posting for the grant’s office with you. Here it is! I know you are really well-connected in the realm of all things grants! Please share with anyone you think might be a good fit. 😊

Thanks so much!!!

Seriously? Damn, is Bosslady that dense or just that rude? I'm guessing a bit of both. I answered her assistant with this who may or may not have read through that I'm not pleased about the request.

Hi (Assistant),

Thanks. I saw the posting this morning when I was cruising the URA-AFT listings.

Most folks that I used to work with have since been promoted to jobs beyond a class 6. I seem to be the only one after a decade doing Carol's former Asst Director position that's at the same level as this job.

But I'll spread the word in case any of the people I used to work with know of anyone.

Diane

I have my regular biweekly meeting tomorrow and I'm sure Bosslady will bring it up. I'm going to have to try really hard to hold a poker face and bite my tongue. At this point if I have to slog through the next few years before I can qualify for full retirement and start looking at the private sector, I'd rather just Act My Wage if I can't get out of here.

Missed you

[missdiane]

OMG! It's been TOO LONG. Doing ok? *snuggle* Miss you big!

Sort of/ mostly OK? Brain is currently fried due to stupid weather

SAME. It's been ridiculously hot here. It's supposed to get to at least 95F/35C today and braining is SO hard since it's been like this for weeks. Can't believe that I'm considering the 80F we're going to get on Friday as a "break from the heat."

WFH naked with all the windows open and still boiling :(

I'm tempted to be very unBritish and obtain Aircon

Considering the governments around the world aren't going to get their shit together long enough to stop the decline of the climate, you may as well at least get one room in your place nicely comfortable for the ever rising temperatures.
