Slip of the tongue? Or a deliberate hint?

Yesterday during our vendor meeting, our controller introduced me to the vendor as the Senior Accounts Payable Specialist. My title in my current position is, in fact, just plain old Accounts Payable Specialist. I do know that our thick-as-a-plank Accounts Payable Supervisor will be demoted to Accounts Payable Specialist when I move up to my Staff Accountant position, and I suspect that my replacement will be titled Senior Accounts Payable Specialist. Our controller, however, is not given to accidentally letting things slip, so I'm wondering if that was a subtle, deliberate hint at what is to come in this department.

Speaking of which, they have yet to find a replacement for me. Argh. Argh, I say! I want my new job now! Actually, I have my new job now, and I am trying to keep up with both jobs. I want out of my old job now so that I can focus on my new job, but Thick-as-a-plank over there wouldn't be able to do any of this desk's work, so I 'm currently stuck.

Argh again.
