I didn't think I was that old, but I seem to be the only one making Gary Hart jokes about this Eastman "I dare you to comb through my emails" moment. I wasn't even old enough to vote when that happened, but sure, you olds just go ahead and forget all the best cultural references and render my political jokes obsolete just because they are references to a guy who was never even nominated for the presidency and was last relevant 35 years ago.

OT: Oh shit, my heartbeat needs to return to normal.

I got to work just in time for my assistant to tell me the CEO needed to talk to me urgently.

I called.

CEO: It has come to the board's attention that you have been taking on new responsibilities as our housing projects grow and you train people to help manage them, so we are changing you job title and giving you a raise. Your new title is Clinical Director and Director of Housing Projects. (I was just Clinical Director before.)

(I'm really happy they haven't noticed that I've completely given up on crisis calls because of my health. But, I still train people, so I guess that's a wash.)

Thanks for the heart attack. Oh, and don't get excited. This is nonprofit, so the raise isn't life changing.
