Beans don't burn on the grill

I decided to wait a little while before writing about it to let the excitement die down. On Thursday, we had a big company meeting where they announced that we won a very large new client. They also unveiled a new organization structure for the entire company meant to make us more productive. After the meeting, the President of our division met with us individually to tell us where we fit in the new structure. Some people were anxious or worried about this because of the natural fear of change. I had the late shift on Thursday. I told them to put me last on the list for meetings, so that nobody would have to stay late for their meeting. My meeting didn't roll around until about 7:20pm. Needless to say, I was a little curious and anxious by then. The President went through a presentation about the new structure and the thoughts behind it. I probably slowed him down by asking too many questions. When he finally showed me where I fit in the new scheme of things, I noticed that I was a little higher up on the tree than I expected. They had promoted me. Then he pulled out the sheet with my new salary on it. All I had to say was "Hell yeah!" Then I asked about my key to the corporate garage, and he told me to "keep dreaming." Can't blame a guy for asking. For a day or two it was hard to wipe that shit eating grin off my face. The poker face is back now.
