It Happened!

Yep, everything noted about Destrukto in the last post pretty much happened today. Well, with a few notable exceptions. Said exceptions include the following:

1. I am still currently employed.

2. I didn't turn over the list of what I do [did].


What I DID Instead:

1. Told the Big Boss that the office environment was akin to Gaslight, and smilingly suggested that he G**gle the movie. [I didn't tell him which part he was playing.]

2. Turned my Master Key into [Now Former] Boss One. In front of NEW Boss One.

3. Declined the 'need' for me to help NEW Boss One with processes and paperwork that I have done for years. Suggested instead that he should already know how to do it.

4. Moved my stuff from [my former] office back to the cubicle farm.

5. Emailed key people in Corporate that XYZ processes are to now be handled by NEW Big Boss, effective immediately.

6. Contacted HR, who had no idea that any of this was going on. Received KEY Information on How to Proceed, along with phone numbers.

7. Called friend for level headed, outside advice (also an HR Pro, for an entirely different line of work).

Truthfully, I grinned like a maniac through the entire situation...and laughed.

Anyone who knows me KNOWS what this means.

The Irish-Indian has come out to play...and I stopped drinking years ago.

Oh, man. I know what it means when I giggle maniacally and I've got a feeling that we're on the same plane.

Show them what you're made of!

Giggling maniacally is much better than sobbing hysterically. Looks like even if things aren't great, they're going your way, and that's important. Keep up the subversion!!

It's on! I'm looking forward to this. Amuse me with your mayhem. And hopefully amuse yourself, too.

While it's a sucky situation on the whole, I'm loving your attitude about it. I hope they know what they're in for, but based on what we've learned so far? I'm pretty sure they're clueless.

Good luck, girl!

I like #3 and #6 the best, I think. Well, that and the fact that you laughed yourself through the day.

Take care, sister.

Sorry I'm so late to the party, Renn. It is a party, isn't it?

Been there, done that. Except I walked out and took the whole crew with me. Feels great, doesn't it. You rock!
