This one's for Chris
Only cause I know she's itching for a new post.

All right. It's official: upper management thinks I'm really stupid. I'd go into details, but that would entail using Weasel Central speak. No one needs to hear that.

The easiest way to tell this story? It's like this, simple question, simple answer. Simple answer gets twisted by the minion who's giving it to someone else. Somehow this all gets back to the VP (who at the best of times makes it seem like she can't stomach me). She asks where the minion got the answer. All fingers point back to me. She automatically thinks I'm stupid. I'm then approached by my manager to "explain" a simple question. Question sounds familiar, I call manager on it, he explains that VP thinks I'm a moron. I suddenly think I need a new job.

Manager dude, you've been working next to me for YEARS.
Couldn't you just back me up instead of coming over and trying to be sly? Nope. That's not how things work here at Weasel Central. We must humiliate you. It's better than a bonus or a pat on the back.

Bad enough I work in the ghetto. But now the higher ups are wondering if I'm smart enough for this position. All this comes the day after I finally got a compliment out of them about what a good job I'm doing. That was the conversation where it slipped out (prior to the compliment) that they wouldn't post my current position (I'm filling in for my boss who's on sick leave) cause they were actually happy with me.

No wonder I fuckin' have ulcers and an impossible time sleeping.
*sigh*
