The JOB wants me to take a promotion. Team leader. Lower management. Not much for money, but if a man lacks a little luck, and he needs a little more love he should settle for a little bit more money. Sadly I'm one of those cats that feels better when their neither in charge or taking orders. I've befriended a few Alpha Males in my brief 32 years. Their nice guys, really they are and GOD FUCKING HELP YOU IF YOU SHOULD SAY ANY DIFFERENT!!! It's the curse of command you see. Read the "Secret Sharer" by Conrad or maybe it's the "Silent Sharer" I forget right now. I've always agreed with RAW -
"True commuincation can only exsist between equals". That and the NAVY left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to taking charge and walking large. Every man, woman and child on this planet has to be an asshole at some point, it just seems to me, the higher up you get the more often you gotta play that role.
And yet
Today my coworkers kept coming up to me to talk to me about it. They figure i'm already doing the job- why not take the extra 20 cents an hour? I've never saw myself as anyone except the token crazy guy- you know that one white guy on all the UPN sitcoms that's always up to some kind of zany shennigans and saying wildly inappropiate things.
I declined politely and yet they're still gonna leave the door open for me. I don't know maybe i'm ambition challenged, maybe I'm incapable of taking these things seriously or it's all the times i've said "Those who can't- teach, those who can't teach supervise."
Alright I'm clocking out and heading in.

You deserve it, but should not be made to take the job. Really, I don't think that you have been ever recognised enough for your talents.

Thanks hon.
It was great to hear from you.
We should get together for coffee sometime.

I heard that Big Mel is gonna do the movie. Mad Max as # 6...ehhhhh.
But they gotta get Patrick McGoohan to be #2.

if you think it may be the right step in the direction of your world domination...go for it!!!

honestly though, it's a personal decision and only one that you know what is best for you. If your co-workers already look up to you in that type of way...maybe so....who knows.... best of luck to you...


ps: i was sooooooooooooooo tempeted to wake you up on Sunday AM...but my conscience got the better of me, so i didn't....

I wouldn't have minded that much. I got up around 8ish anyway. My guest would've probably been pissed though.

dem bones, dem bones, dem -- dry bones :-D

speaking only for myself... i would take the money.

I'm inclined to agree but If I'm to go from worker bee to manager bee I feel like 20cents is a bit unrealistic a compensation for what their expecting.
