My fun workplace is rife with politics now. Oh joy. It's certainly the most scheming, gossip ridden place I've ever worked. The good news is that I can usually stay under the radar when that kind of thing is going on. The bad news is that my supervisor is leaving, and she is one of those people who make working there bearable. One of the other ones is a key player in the latest power ploy, so I have to be careful. I have this sinking feeling that rather than promote me into my supervisor's position they are going to try and just dump all of her work on me and leave it at that.

Okay, now is the time to pretend you have Texas roots. Take the bull by the horns, girl. Go to your soon-to-be ex supervisor and tell her that you know the ropes, would be an excellent replacement, and would mean no down time to the company. As in the words of St. Tony of the Lillies, Promote Thyself. Then, make an appt with the supervisor over the ex supervisor, present your case. Can't hurt, and don't forget you have a Patron Saint on your side when you follow through!
