Our supervisor was fired last week. I was told I would be the new supervisor. I would get to be called "Captain," and wear cool gold bars on my collar. I would leave my comfortable 3 to 11pm shift and get up at 5am every morning to be at work at 7. I would be responsible for all the myriad mistakes and screw-ups my fellow officers blissfully exercised on a moment to moment basis. I would get to make out all the schedules and be available 24 hours a day to cover their shifts when they called in sick on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Bike Week - or when the liquor store had a sale the day before. I would get a $0.80 an hour raise, which would put me just over the line into the next tax bracket which would probably cost me $0.85 an hour. I would be the cool dude boss guy and a highly respected member of the security profession.
I shouldn't have laughed so hard when they told me I would be supervisor but I couldn't help it. From the look on their faces, I don't think they appreciated my declining such an honor. I think I'm in trouble now.
(not) - Captain Johnnie
