Compliments of Luckie. Losty helped turn it into an avatar for me.

I'm flipping boiling!

It's 10:51pm in the UK and about 250 degrees outside.

Slightly exaggerating.

Only slightly, though.

I'm of Scandinavian descent, dammit. I need snow and frost.

So I will assume a number of other responsibilities, in addition to the ones I already have (basically doing two jobs for the price of one -- at least until the general manager and the CEO agree what to do about my compensation).

My former ops manager is a friend, so I'm unhappy on his account. Otherwise, not sure how to feel about this. Yes, it's a promotion of sorts. But the marginal time and recreational quality of life I enjoyed before today will be further compromised, as this job is a demanding bitch that requires regular M-F business hours plus boarding vessels at all hours and days of the week, depending on the ship schedules, and being on-call 24/7 all year except when I'm on vacation. Somehow, I doubt the increase in compensation will seem worth it in the end. But one does what one has to do.

I feel for you. Last year, my department (all four of us), absorbed the function of 1.5 other departments, while at the same time, we were told that there was a moratorium on salary increases. (This was assuaged with a promise of a sizable cash bonus at EOY 2016 - though there's been enough waffling on that point that I'm definitely waiting until I have the dough in hand before even thinking of spending it.)

Look at the bright side though, you're at least not on call when you're on vacation. Tongue

I'm partly Scandinavian-descended myself. San Diego was annoyingly warm today. The citywide temp was listed as 73 (22.78), but it felt like 80 (26) where I was. I prefer 60 or so (15).

My ILS worker just left. Munching on potato chips and flavored water, and browsing the forum.
