    Ya know, that makes sense, unless you're happier in the trenches, like I am. I figger if I can sit cross-legged on the floor I'm still able to work with kids ( and as I get older, I'll just work with younger ones - it's not like I'll run out of families needing my expertise).

    Ironically Scott, I did put in for the position when this lady was hired. When she interviewed she wowed management so much they immediately hired her and ended the interview process. I never had the chance to interview for the position.

    I've come to believe that "rejection is God's protection" and trusted that.

    Like Frog, the more I've learned about what the position entails, the less interested in it I am. In fact, my primary motivation for applying back then was to offer management someone who at least knew the agency culture and people already.

    I'm a firm believer in the Peter Principle, that we rise to our level of incompetence. I'm extensively educated, trained, experienced and credentialed in the work I do - and I'm good at it and I enjoy it. Why would I want to give that up to do something I'm not good at - budgets and forms and harrump harrump meetings just for a few thousand more dollars a year to buy kilts with....hmmmmmm....more kilt money.....hmmmm...what do I gotta do???
