Thanks Behan. In some ways I feel like I'm chickening out and reverting to old, fearful, alcoholic behavior but then sometimes I think that I'm finally taking my time and thinking before leaping into something. I just have to reassure myself that there will be other positions that open. I've seen at least five in the past six months. A lot of movement. If I'm thoroughly prepared when I apply I stand a better chance than if I just scramble to cobble together some junk. And I'm not in jeopardy of losing my current position. I'm just not very challenged.
Bimini! Awesome hula girl you have there! I like it. It makes me smile. Way to go.
