So. Apparently i left a cover letter i had written for a job in LA at a different TV station on the printer. Now, am i that dumb to apply for a job while at my desk at TV station? no. i did, however have a few peeps proofread the mo fo, and that was relayed via my personal email, but, i did save it on my desk computer. either way, somehow, some way, Barbie found it just after i left the offce last night.
apparently Barbie and Boss1 went into a tailspin. This is not Will Loman gloating, or boosting his self esteem. Apparently it was the shocker of all shockers to these two.
this morning, Boss1 came down for our morning meeting, and he kept it real quick. i was busy at my desk, he comes up behind me, and says we need to talk in his office. immediately i know something is up, but i am not worried at all. nothing phases me here. i know i have upper hand most times, or can bullshit my way out of anything...unless it was a compromising email or some hard evidence i really fucked up.
so, we get in his office, he closes the door, i sit down, and, he drops my cover letter for the position i just applied for. Now, this is where 2 things happed. One, i get fired for looking elsewhere, and pretty much being such an IDIOT you left the cover letter in your office, at it talks shit about TV station. Or, this could happen:
Boss1 just goes, whats up with this? do you want to leave? i am disappointed. How can we fix this?"
He showed his cards before I did. So, what do i do? be truthful and tell him i applied because i am contemplating leaving? noooo no no no. I am a WAY quicker thinker than that.
I create an elaborate story about my friend working for the station, in charge of hiring, and that he needed someone with "the right experience" to show interest. I had him. I explained all my ties to our city, the elite club i am joining, and how the surf is better here than there. DISASTER AVERTED.
Long story short, he quickly brought up my renegotiation and what not, basically saying i have the upper hand, and that they CANNOT afford to lose me.
So, about that job out of area...i think i will be passing on it for the time being...unless they offer me a shit load of cash...
its good to find out you are THE MAN at you job.
enough patting myself on the back.
