Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. *turns page* Today we were kidnapped by hill-people never to be seen again, it was the best day ever
To explain, I'll start by saying that that's a quote from the TV show Firefly which led into the movie Serenity which came out recently. For those of you who have seen the movie (I'll assume that the people who've seen the TV show don't need explination) it's Jayne 'reading' Simon's journal after Simon and River are kidnapped by hill-people.
Now, to explain why I chose to title my entry this, I got promoted to-... well, technically yesterday... around 11:50 pm. I'm changing from inbound inspection to inbound clerk (working in the office) which adds up to about $1.10 more an hour and a little bit less physical labor.
I didn't request this promotion. It actually caught me a bit by surprise. It happened because the group leader for the inbound office saw me pulling up and printing out the information I needed to do an inspect. Normally I (or any of the other inspectors) would walk up to the specific computer and hand our code and container number and they put them into the system and do the prints, but all the clerks were doing other things, so I just did it myself. Later the group leader pulled me to the side and asked if I'd like to work in the office.
Since I was originally denied an office-type job (in the call center, I think) because I was leaving in August I was happy to get the clerk off even after I told her I would be leaving in August.
