The receptionist was transferred from our department to the CEO’s office. It’s a lateral move but she’s young and it will probably look good on her resume. Let’s just hope she doesn’t say this at her next job interview…

Her: Did you hear? I’m getting transferred to the CEO’s office.

Me: I did. Congratulations. Are you looking forward to the change? [Look at me pretending like I care!]

Her: Absolutely. Even though they aren’t paying me anymore money this is really a promotion. I mean, it’s just like being the Secretary of State!
