I’m the Senior Vice President of the World

You’ve seen those scenes in sitcoms where the adorable lead character asks the new guy at the office “So, what do you do here?” And then that “New Guy” answers, with a slightly bewildered look on his face, “Well, I’m the Senior Vice President of the Western Region over Sales, Marketing, Finance, Engineering, and Human Resources.” And the adorable girl -with great shoes and a new, sky-blue, courderoy shirt-dress- starts laughing because she thinks he’s kidding. And quickly, although not quickly enough, she realizes that, in fact, he is serious; he really is the Senior Vice President of the Western Region over Sales, Marketing, Finance, Engineering and Human Resources.

Yeah. That just happened. In the breakroom. While I was getting my morning hot chocolate. Oh my laws, I am so embarassed.

And, to make a rocky start of my day even rockier; I somehow managed to stab myself with a bic pen and am bleeding from both arms. Awesome. (Note: I did not attempt suicide with a ballpoint due to the obvious faux pax with the Senior Vice President. The pen incident happened first.)

Both arms? How…?

I am agape.

You really have that kind of Senior VP? What kind of hellish company do you work for? Also, sorry about the bleeding! but it sounds like a great dress.

They hand out the title of VP to everyone and their bros these days. Overused. Probably doesn’t mean much. I wouldn’t worry about it. ;)

That happened to me once too – at a an office holiday party. Oops! (And by “that” I do not mean the stabbing of the pens)

It’s funny. It really is. You gotta admit it. And one day very soon you will be able to laugh.
