zdt* on her 3rd choc ice tonight. My life would be complete if tomorrow a Mormon or Jehovas Witness were to arrive at my door.

Sounds good to me!

Some God-botherers came round recently, only to drop off leaflets though. Gorgeous couple of young ladies. Would have invited them in to talk about original sin.

That's 'original sin' as in. 'Hmm...what sin mightn't they have tried before'?

WWJD?

Had a chat on the phone with our department head this morning. She assured me her staff were of most importance to her (sure) and deafened me with her concern, saying that the job *might* start at the appropriate grade but I would have to apply for it with everyone else. Fair enough, if I want it.

While I don't want to skulk off at the first sign of responsibility I don't want to be stuck here with custody of a sinking ship either; assuming I can even cope with it.

If you'd actually have to apply for the promotion along with other people, you've got a good chance of not being stuck with it if you don't want it. One way to accomplish that is to wait a bit longer to apply than other people.

Now sounds like a good time for you to start sending your resumé out to other places, though.
