Grazing Rites

Rumours are running rampant. Some people knew about my interview within 2 hours of it being scheduled. People who didn’t need to know. It’s not that I mind but clearly people are talking. What are they saying I wonder? There could be a lot of incorrect assumptions out there. What could they be thinking…?

Does he honestly think he has a chance?
Not really, no. But I could be runner up. Salutatorian if you will. Close doesn’t really mean much but it lets them know I still want it.

Is he unhappy where he is?
No, very comfortable thank you, next question.

Is he doing this because a certain someone left?
No. Granted that person’s departure brought about this turn of events but it was by no means my motivation or inspiration. I know I said I would return if he left but financially I have more responsibilities than I did when I said that. Ultimately I’m doing this for me and for the family I left behind.

Will he go back to his old job (not his current job, the one from over a year ago) if he doesn’t get this one?
Sadly that would come done to a question of if the pay was right.

Does he think he can do this?
Yes, but in the unlikely circumstances that I get it I recommend you buy stock in Red Bull.

Does he really want this?
My heart and mind do, my body has objections.

Didn’t he apply for this once before?
A lesser version of the position, yes.

How many times can they get away with saying no to this guy?
Sadly that number probably only exists theoretically (think of a number 8 that’s fallen down). Just so long as I get a raise each year I don’t see me giving up any time soon, or ever really. Slow and steady progress is all I need, although giant leaps will be accepted.

But isn’t he going to be a dad?
I’ve gotten ignoring my family down to a science. But seriously I can prioritize, compartmentalize, and multitask with the best of them. I’m Jack Bauer, b*tch.

Besides the significant increase in income isn’t likely to hurt anyone.

What about his other jobs?
I have something white and hairy they can kiss. Sears recently determined I was “dissatisfied with working conditions“, the rest can figure it out just as easily. I have yet to regret that departure.

What if they give it to someone who has never worked in the department before?
Anyone know where you can get pitchforks cheap? We can buy in bulk…
