The Big Boss
...and I'm not referring to MGS3.
So, the big boss (the chairman of the entire corporate umbrella) and his son came to visit the office today. I just found out they were coming *yesterday*. I was originally told the son was coming (and that he would be working for me, but that's changed a bit... more on that in a second), but not the dad.
They came by my desk on a tour of the offices, and I was dressed fairly well. Made my introductions and generally didn't make an ass of myself, I don't think. Then they all went into their big corporate meeting and I figured it'd be a good chance for me to take my lunch break and head to the gym.
So, naturally, I go to the bathroom to get changed into my t-shirt and sweats, and who do I run into on the way out? The big wig entourage. Lovely. So, they see me in my sneakers and sweats and t-shirt... but I quickly duck out of the way and hope they didn't recognize me. *sigh*
Only ran into them a few more times throughout the day, so overall, I think everything is fine, but all the middle-aged ladies in the office are abuzz with excitement (the son is a decent-looking young man whose father is worth *millions*). I was originally supposed to be his boss, but due to some changes, he will be doing *some* work for me, but reporting to a VP. Which is strange, because apparently his title is EVP (executive vice president). It must be good to be the king.
Oh, and when I say "work for me," I really meant "sit there and watch what I do." It's unclear as to whether or not he will actually help me out with anything, but I figure it's a good way to get to know him, as he's likely to be the next big boss of the company.
Guess who's getting drunk next? :D

This sounds like a much, much better situation, to be honest. Nice.
