Junior Executive
I have worked at the same company for like 2.5 years. Which for me, is a new record. Usually by now, I'm so sick of my coworkers and the political BS, that I look to move on.
Anyway, my company is pretty good about BS, and there is only 1 coworker that I routinely want to hit in the face with a shovel. So overall, I'm okay with things.
Because of my new found acceptance of a monotonous relationship with my company, I happened upon a new perk. I was upgraded parking spots this week. My company operates on the seniority principal with spots. When I was hired here, they literally had to build an extension onto the parking lot so I could have a space. I and other people who parked there affectionately knew this “add-on lot”, which basically cut into the nearby woods, as the “loser lot”. It was our badge of courage. Those of us who parked in the lot had a bond that those who didn't have to walk the extra 20 feet every morning and night couldn't understand.
Then I got an email late on Tuesday. "After 6 months, we've had some employees come and go, so here are the new parking assignments." I was out. Promoted from the loser lot into the regular lot with the BMWs and Audis. Called up to the big leagues. My big moment. I said my goodbyes to those I was leaving behind and the next morning, rolled into parking space #50 with a big grin on my face.
Since then, I've had hours of fun playing up my new found power. I told a guy at work I couldn't "hang" with him because I had a new crowd now. And us being seen together couldn't happen. I've tried to get out of mundane tasks at home by shouting at Jessica (my wife) "Do you know where I park at work? People with those kind of spots don't make their own bed!" etc.
I figure I have about a week more humor left in it.
