All change in the big ship

Much to the surprise of everyone, my boss resigned two weeks ago. We're all still getting used to the idea of the moody workaholic not being around. I've never known anyone to work as hard as him and to get so little recognition for it.

I learnt early in my professioal career that if you're going to put in the extra hours (which rarely happens in Media Sales!), then your boss and boss' boss have to know about it. If you so happen to be working very early or late, then there must be some pressing email which needs urgent attention of your boss at these hours. Gone are the days where you can alert your PC to send the email at a certain time, so now your boss will know you are working at the hours the email arrives.
We used to refer to this method of brown nosing as "remote browning".

Anyhoo, given the imminent departure of my boss, you'd a thunk he would chill the fug out and become more chirpsome...but nnoOOooo. So far this week he has been so chilly that I've constantly got erect nipples - so much so, i've resorted to cellotaping them down.

Gobby, nosey tosser colleague has moved on to another magazine thank god! I still do not understand how he got promoted as he hardly did any work during his time working on my product. Saying that, whilst he was, his ability to brown nose had fine tuned to perfection. He surreptitiously worked on building a little step ladder which aided his ability to climb further up the crack of my boss with laces barely visible.

Also, his timing of dropping colleagues in the shits was absolutely inspiring, impeccable knack of giving the impression he actually does work was flawless - but at the end of the day, the numbers speaketh louder than the cockney crap which farts out of his gob...which is why everyone on our product CANNOT understand how this wideboy got where he did.

He's a cockney wide boy and sounds like he should be selling potatoes at a market stall, however his public school boy act is the most hilarious thing ever. Clearly he is uncomfortable with who he is, deeply insecure hence the sly underhandedness fuckwitted behaviour.

Anyhoo, that aside, given that my boss is leaving there have been some changes here. It will be tres interesting to see how things develop over the coming months and incredibly exciting opportunities lie ahead. I have already started plantation of the seeds which will grow into a BIG APPLE in a year or so ;-) ...
