Just great.

What an amazing way to start the morning.

When I arrived at the precinct house, everything was missing from my desk. Doesn't take a genius to know that means one of two things. Personally, I was banking on 'fired.'

But no. Down the hall, next to Kreise's office, in the empty room we'd been using for file storage. Shiny nameplate, new desk, little cardboard boxes full of all my things, and a file folder.

'Interim Chief Shepard.'

Kreise, you're going to owe me for this bullshit when you get back.

The only good thing about this complete pile of horseshit job is the little congratulatory box of chocolates they got me.

Might as well start in before I unpack and start wading through paperwork.

Chief. Goddammit.

.. Congratulations?

[mindoirsurvivor]

Thanks, Naoto. Guess it's not that bad. I'll just wait, and do all that paperwork... later.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

I was ready to say "congratulations."

[mindoirsurvivor]

Hey, why not?

I probably got a raise.

[voice]

Heh.

[mindoirsurvivor]

It's pretty funny.

[loseashoe]

Funny? It's hilarious.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Nothing to get worked up over.

[loseashoe]

Weren't you ransacking those offices a couple of weeks ago?

[mindoirsurvivor]

Ransack is such a harsh word.

[loseashoe]

We could go with vandalize, if you'd rather.

[mindoirsurvivor]

I'll take it.

[thousandlakes.livejournal.com]

A promotion? That's great, congratulations!! How about a drink to celebrate!!

[mindoirsurvivor]

A drink? Sounds great! You should bring it down to the station!

[thousandlakes.livejournal.com]

I will!

[thousandlakes.livejournal.com]

I wonder why you weren't told first, though. Weird!

[mindoirsurvivor]

At this point I don't really care. I'm just gonna relax and enjoy the benefits.
