I'm Glad You All Are Still Here...

It looks as though we have kept the party level at MP's to a minimum with no arrests and no drunk long distance dialing on MPs phone. I'm sure she'll have the place cleaned up by Christmas.
Now on to a sorta serious note. I'm so glad MP gave me the keys so to speak to her blog cause now I have some bloggy advice that I could use, where a post on my blog would not be wise at the moment.
Here's the deal. I'll try to keep it as short as possible and not go to long winded. I've worked at my job for going on 6 years now in a call center. I'm honestly not happy doing it, but for some reason have stuck with it in hopes that I would be promoted to a level 1 supervisor which is just a fancy name for a higher supervisor than I am now with out dealing with actual calls. I am considered one of the best.so to speak..as my boss would say. Yet when it was time for a promotion, I was passed over by "young, still with lives with his parents, just doing this job to pay for school boy." Pissed off I was, was an understatement and I did find the cahonies to talk with bossman about it and he just gave me a dumb answer like uh er your public speaking skillz aren't up to par. Whatever.
Fastforward to today. I literally got handed on a silver platter an offer to work in another department. I actually was offered this job a couple of years ago and stupidly turned it down as I thought things would be better in my department...I had hope for that promotion and was faithful and loyal to my boss.
Here's the deal...I'm ready to tell the guy sign me up right now I'm ready to go, as a lot of crap is happening in my department right now. Here's the thing. I'm afraid I'm getting the grass is greener syndrome. The guy who offered me the job, I've known since I started working. Hubs and him are fairly good friends. The problem is he's somewhat of a dick when it comes to work. Hes the boss and just wants things his way. He also has a few red neck sexist tendencies and can make off kilter comments. My boss is a great guy, in fact he's very laid back for the most part and keeps to himself. I'm just afraid that there maybe more pressure and possible different stress with the new position. I also have tinge of guilt as if I take this job, it means my boss will have lost 2 supervisors in a 2 week time. I'm sure it just comes with the territory and going along with the learning curve of the new job..but as much as I want it, I also don't like getting out of my comfort zone.
Most likely I'm going to take it for a new challenge, which I think I'm ready for. I just needed to clear out my thoughts and this whole thing literally happened as I was walking out the door. I've gotta go over more detail with my boss and the new boss and just see how it turns out. I didn't want to start up a fire on my blog as my immediate supervisor reads my blog,,,the guy that got promoted and well it would be awkward.
Thanks MP for letting me use your space place to crash for the night.
Ladies any advice...should I go for it knowing full well what I may be up against or should I take this to my boss and see what he can do for me and see just how much he really needs me?

Psst Hi It's Me Again ..Jean

Hi I hope you guys have recovered from that crazy Etsy post. Yeah I realize now that maybe it was to off kilter for a guest post, but I guess I can't turn back time now.
Anyways I noticed things were a bit to quiet over here so I thought I'd make some noise by saying that this is MP's 400th post!! Where's the confetti and cake? I hope she wasn't planning on something big. Oh right, she's celebrated by going to Aruba. She goes all out don't she?
Now here's my question to you guys her faithful flock. You're probably going to think it's a silly question but MP and I just hooked up back in Feb in a blind date Valentine kind of way. Anyway the question is; on the blog does she go by MP..Mary Pat...Mary..or it doesn't matter? I'd just hate to think that I'm silly and am calling her by something that she doesn't go by. I'm paranoid and weird like that, in case you haven't noticed.
Ok that's all...I'm just going to hang out and blast the stereo really loud to annoy her neighbors.
