Mentioned in Dispatches

qosToday I was copied on an email from my boss's boss to her own boss, the Chief Operations Officer. The B'sB sent the COO a copy of the newsletter, and her message included the words, "I am very proud of the work of [qos] and team. . ."
I was, of course, pleased by this, but didn't place all that much significance on it. But when a friend in another dept. asked how things were going, and I told her about the email, her eyes got wide. Evidently this kind of mention, to someone of executive rank, is a rare occurrence, and constitutes my having "rock star" status. Especially from the B'sB, who is very hard to please. What's more: the COO evidently has a rep for remembering names presented to her in this way.
Later this afternoon, the B'sB forwarded to me an email from someone else in the org who had commended her on the newsletter draft. She wrote to me, "It's all you!"
The B'sB just posted a "Sr. Manager of Communications" position for our division. I don't have the credentials, but once this person is in place, s/he will need at least one staff person. And there is no one better positioned than I am to get that job.
I would hate to stop working for Jeannie. But how could I pass up a chance to do work that was more challenging and satisfying, paid better, and did not involve being yoked to Miss Vicki?
