Clark is not happy

Clark is very not-so-much happy.

ICE & Corporate reclassified everyone's job descriptions today. I'm no longer the Assistant Editor of lore (oh how I loved explaining that story), but instead I am now a Desktop Publishing Associate. I think my previous title had more prestige, but whatever. At least it's slightly more accurate.

Piper is no longer a Computer Systems Specialist I (who actually did design for print & web), but rather a Graphic Artist. She's cozy with it.

Clark, however, isn't all that happy. He's disgruntled enough to make him leave work shortly after hearing the news and go on lunch break. He didn't speak word of the news in the brief minute that he was at his desk. Also, his paper with his new title was all crumpled up in his hand.

Oh, hell! I'm not even happy. I think I'm in shock more than anything. How they hell do they expect us to be happy when receiving a demoted title?? Here's your demotion! Good luck finding another job with a title like that! Wheee!

Needless to say, Carol (head of HR) seemed as pleased as pie with the results. I had to stop myself from yelling at her multiple times during the meeting. OF COURSE YOU'RE HAPPY! You got what you WANT! *flings bagel*

I find myself less & less concerned with business at ICE, customer satisfaction, and any business ventures. Meh, why should I care? If I do care and something flops, it just gets blamed on my department (regardless of how rational). It's not like any problems are going to get solved by pushing the blame on my department.

Whatever. I'm sprucing up my resume.

(which could quite possibly mean the end of my chaotic ICE banter.)
