I got promoted...yes, again.

The rumors are true...I've been promoted again. (For those of you just joining us, this is like the third time this year.)

To recap: our Senior Director of several years, we'll call him S., left here for greener pastures several months ago. I had hoped that the next-most-senior director, let's call him B., would get promoted so that I could get B.'s job. Unfortunately, instead they hired this schmo H., and promoted him to Senior Director instantly even though he was the least-skilled director of us all.

Well, as it turned out, H. couldn't take the pressure and walked out in a huff one day -- no two-weeks-notice or anything. We expect our fresh-out-of-high-school minimum wage slaves to suddenly quit on us with no notice, but not our 60+-year-old senior directors. So that was weird. And lest you think it was totally my fault, well, I was in Vegas when it happened.

So anyway, this time around they did indeed promote B. to Senior Director. He'll be directing our flagship show, the hour-long 6pm; I'm in his old position, directing the half-hour 5pm and 11pm weekday shows. (This also means my Friday now coincides with the rest of the world's Fridays -- I get weekends off. Or, rather, I get paid overtime when I do work those days, which will probably be often.

Also, B. is having a baby within the next few weeks. When he goes away on paternity leave, I'll be acting senior director, apparently. I'll still get paid the same, of course. But at least for a few weeks I'll have gone from completely-lowly-peon to ruler of all directors. Bwa!
