the_eggwhiteIt's all gone a bit poo!
So far, today has been... interesting. Things keep breaking, or we keep discovering broken things. What makes it worse is that I keep starting to deal with one thing, and another thing crops up... then my manager declares the newer thing is more important and that I should drop what I'm doing and do this first.
Then, of course, when I'm half way through dealing with that, something else arises. I'm currently about five fixes deep, all in things that were not even on my to-do list this morning, and several of which I don't actually know how the systems work to begin with... so I'm having to learn as I go along each time.
Job Thievery
It seems that my manager has also been thinking about who should replace her. Yesterday when it was just me and her in the office, she mentioned that she was surprised I'm still here, and that she reckons I could do her job better than she could. She enquired if I'd be interested in it when she goes, and when I said yes, she said she'd try and drop hints along those lines to the marketing people who'd make the decisions.
I'm still trying to work out if this is a good thing or a kiss of death.
