(10:55:34 PM) High: i am no longer *THE SUPERVISOR*
(10:55:47 PM) High: i am now....*THE TRAINER*
(10:58:36 PM) Low: Right, so is it actually a promotion?
(10:59:05 PM) High: we...don't quite know yet
(11:24:14 PM) Low: So you accepted a job without knowing if it's a promotion?
(11:25:40 PM) High: maybe?
(11:25:54 PM) Low: Dumbass.
(11:26:20 PM) Low: Of course this means your 8 month reign of terror is over.
(11:27:34 PM) Low: What have we learned?
(11:28:16 PM) High: supervising sucks
(11:28:25 PM) Low: I'm proud of you.
(11:28:35 PM) Low: So instead of instructing one person to do many things, you will now be instructing many people to do one thing.
(11:28:46 PM) High: pretty much
(11:28:59 PM) Low: Got a good feeling about this?
(11:29:07 PM) High: gets me off the phone. it just keeps ringing, and ringing and ringing...
(11:29:10 PM) High: and no more doug
(11:29:28 PM) High: and check this out, free trips to Phoenix
(11:29:42 PM) Low: Just in time for summer.
(11:29:50 PM) Low: I heard in July they hold "The Running of the Mexicans".
(11:30:23 PM) High: *boooooooooooo*
(11:35:54 PM) Low: So you might have been promoted. But you still have to drive 80 miles a day. You no longer enjoy the winter and want to move to Tampa but the housing market is in such a crappy state that there's no way you can afford to do anything except to continue surviving in a position that you didn't quite want but that beats the hell out of the one you last held.
(11:36:04 PM) Low: That about sum it up?
(11:36:10 PM) High: yupper
(11:36:15 PM) High: so how is that different from 3/4th of the country?
(11:36:38 PM) Low: I don't think it is.
(11:36:51 PM) High: EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD...
(11:38:04 PM) High: THEY'RE STUCK IN AMERICA...
(11:38:26 PM) High: THEY GOT A DREAM BUT NO ONE CARES
(11:38:31 PM) High: THEY'RE STUCK IN AMERICA...
(11:38:48 PM) Low: *America-is-not-responsible-for-lack-of-dream-fulfillment.
