Sounds like you may have been exaggerating your performance issues!
So this is what's going down:
An L2 admin that as been extremely nice to me since I started working here came up to me today and asked if I'd like
<said position>. The
<said position> is not necessarily L2, but more like L1.5. Apparently one of our
<said position> admins is taking his spot, and he's moving to L3. So they need somebody to replace the other guy. The L2 has been looking over my tickets for the past few weeks and has really liked my work. He says that I "am consistent", "have great replies", "don't respond until I check my work". He said that I need to work on my "speed" and "troubleshooting skills". (The two things I thought would get me fired). In
<said position> I don't have to worry about my speed... at all. I probably won't get bonus because of this, but like I'm
really getting bonus anyway??
He says that he really wants me in that position, but we have to wait for my supervisor to get back from vacation. My supervisor is kind of a jerk, but it's because he's so apathetic. He just doesn't seem to care about anything unless he's being yelled at. So neither of us see that as a problem.
Even if that doesn't pan out, I'm already being trained for another position that's kinda like L1.25. Basically I stay where I'm at, but handle harder work. Either way I'm "moving up". Interesting...
EDIT:
Also, where I work: L3 > Supervisor. He just can't officially change my title because he's not my direct supervisor.

Server problems left and right tonight. One is OOMing for no damn reason at all, and another is having some sort of schizophrenic breakdown with Apache and PHP. I don't even know anymore...
Talking about being a stay-at-home dad always makes me feel a bit better. That time can't come fast enough. Until then, I'll have to deal with idiots buying hosting services who don't even know what ssh or ftp is...
