Loyal readers of this blog will recall that I have two New Year's Resolutions involving a Machiavellian plan to secure my boss's job.
This afternoon, my boss pops into my office, something she rarely does, sits herself down and says: "When I go, are you going to apply for my job?" Not being a liar, I said: "Yes. I'm certainly considering it."
She answered: "Oh thank god because you're the only one who's qualified to do it." She looked immensely relieved. What followed was a surreal conversation. I felt myself floating above, looking down, and wondering what the hell is this about? Is she planning on leaving soon? Could be. Does she think her current deputy is incompetent and unfit to take over. She certainly does.

Hey!!!! Terrific!!!! (you are pleased I hope......) - so she'll be putting in a good word for you then?
She said she would, but we both know it won't mean much.
Congratulations, mastermind behind the take-over!
Too true Nanuk, but I hope it turns out well for you!
