Diary of a CyberChondriac

Bernice has handed in her letter of resignation. She said she can no longer work under these conditions and that she would rather fry bacon and burgers for a living. Kirk read it and called her into his office. She has been told that she must work a months notice.

Got a reprieve as Kirk got called out of the office to attend an important meeting. I took the opportunity to look on google. I am still having trouble with my elbow and my right eye is very itchy and bloodshot.

Google says I probably have tennis elbow or tendonitis ( as I suspected after googling it last week ) and my eye problem could be allergy related or conjunctivitis. I rang the surgery and the nurse will see me tonight. You cannot be too careful with eye problems.

Manda nipped out to the bakery and came back with cakes and lattes. We had a lovely relaxing two and a half hours in Kirk’s absence.

We had to put the coffee cups and wrappers in the sanitary towel bin so that he would not know that we had nipped out during work hours. When we saw him return, we all acted busy.

He called an immediate meeting. We are opening a brand new office in Leeds and he is going to front it and oversee the running of business so he is leaving us in two weeks time. Manda had to pretend to cough so that her smile was concealed. He said to celebrate the opening he was going to go to the bakery and get cakes and coffees. We all had to cover our faces when he said that.

Felt sick after eating my second peach melba and drinking my second decaffeinated cappuccino.

Kirk called me into his office so I was terrified. He told me to sit down and not look so nervous. He said as I had been there the longest and I have the most experience he would like to offer me his job as assistant manager. I was so taken aback I burst out laughing. He said it was no joke and that I needed to let him know by close of business tomorrow as he would have to advertise the post if I didn’t want it.

I told the girls when I got back to my desk and Manda said I should definitely take it if it was more money. I told her it was an extra five thousand a year but he would be training me for the next two weeks so that part would be awful. Bernice and Manda both said I should take it. Bernice said she would withdraw here resignation if I became new boss.

Am totally stunned. I never thought me, Carla Bradley would get a promotion at my age.

I rang Mark to discuss it with him and he is really proud of me and said I should take it.

Will sleep on it.
