Quick Update
1) I'm looking forward to Moon Moon being sacked on Monday - HR finally agreed to letting Supervisor fill out termination paperwork
2) I won't be there to see it, because I'll be off next week on my "staycation" (I really hate that term) - I might see if supervisor/friend wants to go to lunch or dinner to celebrate once it's official
3) Tuesday will be my appointment to turn my hair purple and pink as I had originally planned for the holidays and just never got around to doing
4) Other plans for my week off are boring house work, budget and tax catching up, and recording playing card purchases (no really, this is going to be a couple days' worth of work alone)
5) I no longer have any obligations with the oil and gas company contract, but I'm still contracted with them in case they need to call on me for any questions
6) I have officially moved into a nice corner office at the current contract and out of a cubicle that is now occupied by temp-to-hire New Girl that I got all trained up to take over the month-end work I was previously working on - she's awesome and is exactly what we hoped the guy that we're firing on Monday was going to be
7) I have been tasked with writing up all the things I've already helped with on this contract to show my value after ~5-6 months, including the BIG one of discovering a $2mil error on the books that's been building for the past 5 years - I'm pretty proud of that, and there's an Old Guard person still arguing that it "doesn't look right on the financials," because when they've been looking at it incorrectly for many years, seeing it done correctly might feel uncomfortable, especially when it also means having to swallow that gigantic "you've been wrong for a very long time" pill - I'm still a consultant, which everyone on the floor keeps asking me about, especially given my move into an office - I think they are looking to make me a job offer
😎 I still have no idea if I want to work at this place - I don't know if they are considering creating a new job title specific for me without any official subordinates or if I would get the title of the previous occupant of the office I'm in, Sr Director of Accounting and Finance, which would be the equivalent of a Comptroller/Controller for a place like this - if they go with the latter, I would be the supervisor over the Director of Accounting Operations (my current supervisor and friend who would be fine with me as her boss, and I'd rather not have her job directly managing all the grant accountants), the Payroll Manager, the Accounts Payable Manager, and the Accounting Systems Manager (who's department appears to be a weird combination of Treasury, Project/Grant Management, General Ledger Management, and Cash Accounting, which feels like a hotbed of quantum entanglements that shouldn't exist in ANY company) - it's the last person in that list that is already having issues with my suggestion that there are other, more speedy and correct ways to run her department, and she's taking major offense of my suggesting that, but the CFO so far appears to be in agreement with me and wants to hear more, so we'll see how that plays out
