Work is very interesting... Lots of drama! I'm torn in applying for a position that I'm certain I won't get, but may squeeze by the screening process and at least get an interview. The reason I'm torn, is it's the department where I'd love to work, and if I pass the screening process for the position, they at least know I'm interested in coming to the department and hopefully keep me in mind for a lower grade position. The position is a Planner III. On paper, I may qualify, but barely. I'd be safer and more comfortable coming in as a Planner I or II. The thing that makes me not want to apply is that there's a possibility that the department would think I was more of a joke for applying for such a high position... and more or less laugh at me if they see my application come through again. The position starts at $10K more a year than I'm at right now, so it's awful tempting to at least try....

Hubby is working late tonight, so I'm going to do homework!!!
