I work at Asbury UMC on Creedmoor Road. FUN staff to work with. My husband, Dan, stopped by my office yesterday and came home with news of my replacement. The name plate on my office door now reads Snoopy Schultz. I’ll preface my comments by saying that our pastor absolutely loves Snoopy, his friends, his wisdom…. He sent an email to the staff with this photo and the caption “Faye’s Replacement” . . . which generated emails from staff. I had fun composing the reply below with thoughts on my replacement.
Dear Terry and Sharon,
I was almost up to turning cartwheels when I learned of my replacement.
What a brilliant idea! Snoopy appears to be a relaxed and happy worker surrounded by friends, which should lead to high productivity. (I heard he is on the ball...already got out the signup sheet for the office Christmas party. He's no slacker.)
Undoubtedly the happy aura from Snoopy's office is drifting into Terry's office. Such a high energy emanating from Snoopy that Terry will probably be turning out a year's worth of work in December. Good move.
I know Sharon must be beaming after learning that Snoopy and his assistants will work for cookies. Quite a substantial savings there. Fran can probably get volunteers to bring in the cookies so there's no drain at all on the budget. May I suggest that the money saved be set aside as seed money for "screened-in porch" type offices downstairs. The fresh air would keep us all awake following lunch.
Ryan, I understand your concern about Snoopy's Thanksgiving fiasco but firmly believe that working next door to Beth can't help but be a positive step. And, Scott, I see this as a ministry to Snoopy and his friends. I heard that Linus would like to play some Sunday for the choir, and Lucy wants to sing a solo for the cantata. Could you work her in? If all else fails, I'm sure Mark would love to showcase the new talent in an announcement video.
Well, I can certainly rest peacefully now knowing who’s in charge. All in all, I figure this replacement situation is good job security for me.
Love to all, Faye
