Who's The Boss?

Just thought I would share something good for a change, I know I'm normally moaning about everything so thought this would make a nice change.

For those who haven't read my whinging up until now:
When my current employers took over the contract I work on they replaced the existing security manager (who was competent, but no where near professional enough for the client's requirements). The guy they bought in until they could interview for a permanent replacement was useless. He can't operate email, seemed to have no idea how to behave in a corporate environment, and was even more racist, sexist, size-ist and homophobic than the last manager. He pissed everyone off with his attitude and lack of ability, and that includes the security department, the client and every other department too.
He was taken off site yesterday even though it is still 2 weeks until the permanent guy starts. They asked me to fill in for him.
So, I am currently the head of the security department for a multi-million pound security contract, for a client who have been going for over 60 years. Not bad considering they asked me.

I know it is only temporary, and I don't think I would want the job permanently anyway (having lost respect for all security companies over the last 3 years, I don't want to work for any every again!), but it gives me a brief opportunity to get the site running as I think it should and to get things for the security team that have yet to be provided. At least then, if I still can't get another job, things will be better for me and all the guys when I return to my supervisor position.
I am relishing the challenge at the moment. Maybe I will even change my mind about staying in the industry, if I enjoy the whole 2 weeks and don't fuck it up!!!! It could be the boost to my confidence that I need.

I had a meeting with the head of facilities today, who is effectively my boss on site, and she said she was very happy that I had agreed to step into the position. I also think that I impressed her with my ideas and knowledge when we were discussing various security matters that I wanted to get changed or clarified.

All in all, I had a good day today (on the first day in this new position) and think that I have enough to do to keep me interested for the whole of the 2 weeks. We shall see whether I am still feeling positive come Friday of next week! Miracles can happen.
