Shortly after getting in to work this morning an email was sent around congratulating the successful candidate for a position I'd interviewed for a few weeks ago. No, I wasn't the successful candidate, and it wasn't the guy who's been here for 10+ years and is already working in that position; it was a girl who's been here for less than two years.
I decided to go to Starbucks and get a conciliatory latte. While making my drink the barista asked me what I'd ordered.
"Non-fat latte," I told him, as I watched him pour a latte from the whole milk pot.
"Non-fat latte," he said to me, handing me my...whole-milk latte? Aah, it doesn't matter; it's only a few more calories.
Back at the office I took the first sip from my latte. What the??? This isn't even a whole milk latte!!! What the hell am I drinking???
The answer to that would be "Vanessa's" Hazelnut Latte. Which wasn't too bad once I was no longer expecting a regular latte. I sure hope Vanessa took a sip of "her" drink before she left Starbucks.
A Subway opened up across the street. I went over there with two coworkers and got a Turkey & Ham on Honey-Oat...or at least that's what I ordered. Got back to the office and discovered I had a Turkey & Ham on Wheat. Better than White at least, which would have been taken back to Subway...maybe...they were kind of busy when I left.
I wonder...dare I say it?
Come on, Monday! Is that the best you can do? BRING IT!!!

WTF man?? 2 years?? Stories like this one make me angry. Lemme guess, the woman is in her mid 20's, single, and to all the men in the office, she displays "great potential". Am I right?
I had an interview today for a new position offered by my company; one that would shift my focus from dealing primarily with the public, to dealing with logistics, and I am praying I get the job, but I'm not holding my breath.

You totally nailed the woman's description, just our office is run by a "good ol' girls club", so while it is usually the girls who get the promotions and it is because they've become someone's favorite, it's not quite for the reasons you're insinuating, Wolf :)
