a vp, a chef, and a maestro walk into a bar...
Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 1:26 PM | Bitty Guess who now has something in common with Joe Biden?! Thanks to a promotion a few days ago, I am now the Vice President of Internal Operations, which means that I'll basically be doing what I've been doing for awhile, but with a more impressive business card. My mom will be thrilled that I (sort of) share a title with Joe Biden, since she loves him. Of course, that also means that I have something in common with Dan Quayle, but I suppose the laws of physics dictate that the universe must remain in balance.
It's also meant being addressed as "Madam Vice President" by Sal every chance he gets. "What would you like for dinner, Madam Vice President?" "I do believe it's raining outside, Madam Vice President." "Be careful not to step in the cat barf, Madam Vice President." I suppose it's payback for when I learned his students call him "Chef" in the same way you would call someone "Doctor", as in: "Chef said the chocolate has to be tempered first" or "I remember Chef's lecture on the importance of oven spring in bread baking". I teased him about being in that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine is dating a symphony conductor who insists on being called "Maestro" by everyone. (Even though he's never asked his students to call him that, they just do.) So I...may have had the mockery coming....

lunch, deli club:
- baked potato with strips of smoked gouda, with steamed broccoli as gap fillers
- more broccoli and a lone spicy meatball
- mandarin halves with blueberries as gap fillers

Congratulations, Madame Vice President!
Congratulations, Madame Vice President! You earned it!
Anne: Thank you! It seems kind of odd to be associated with my new title, but maybe I'll become accustomed to it over time....
Tammy: Thank you so much! Still getting used to the title, the idea of it, and what I want it to mean. Technically, my job hasn't changed. Yet it has. It will require some thought.
