From The Salt Mine - Director of Facilities

Why do I love my job?  Yet one more reason....

So for the past year our company has been growing in leaps and bounds, and because of that, our staff has been growing at light speed, and of course our space which is now required to seat everyone has had to keep pace along with the growth.

There are certain things I do very well, one of those things is project management with a very high level of detail being maintained and the other is Construction ( Coop at FoF can tell you how myself and Matty K built half of Hoboken in the 1990's).Well, as our facilities grew, I was able to wheedle my way onto the new space construction project and within a few months was given the opportunity to run it as it is very time consuming. 

I have been running the crap outta this project ever since....  so much so that I have been joking around with the Overlord that I should be given the title of "Facilities Manager" since I seem to have become the De Facto "Go To Guy" now for everything facilities & operations in our location... 

Well because the guys I work with all have a good sense of humor - I was summoned to the Overlords office the other day to be given a gift of appreciation for my hard work.....

Was it a Promo? Nope.
Was it a Raise?  Nope.

Was it funny?   Of course. 

So now I have to wear this whenever I hit the job site  - and of course the work crews are all giving me the WTF stares....  But hey... F'-it - I'm not there to amuse them....and I think it was funny.. so they just have to deal with it dammit...
