red states rule

Prior to my promotion I was a Loan Servicing Specialist 3, and on a whim I asked my boss what it would take to make LSS4. I knew one of the requirements was to take on more difficult and time consuming cases (something I considered a pain in the ass) and he said we will talk about it.
I thought OK - not going to happen
After about 10 min I had a email asking to confirm a meeting. I accepted. The next day we talked and after talking about the money, and the support I would have with the new cases - I accepted the offer subject to upper management approval
The next day it was official. I was promoted to LSS 4 with a nice hourly increase.
The #2 manager told me how "we thought you were not interested in this position". I asked her if she ever saw the movie "The Hunt for Red October"? She said yes and I reminded her of the scene where Sean Connery talks about when Cortez discovered the new world he burned his ships. His crew was then highly motivated
I bought a new care and now I am highly motivated
She laughed and told me she and the rest of the management team appreciates my hard work, flexibility, and positive attitude
I appreciate having a stable and decent paying job in this Obama recovery
