Well, well, well
I got a very interesting phone call yesterday. In fact, I got 4 very interesting phone calls yesterday. It seems that the manager of the lab in that college town that I love so much has resigned, and everyone there wants me to apply.
The previous manager (not the one who resigned), even offered sexual favors to be the assistant manager so he could help me get that lab whipped back into shape. Honestly, I think he should take the job-- he's an amazing manager, and that lab was a wonderful place to work under his direction, but he simply doesn't like all the politics. He said he'd take care of all the lab related stuff, and show me how to do it all, if I would take care of the endless meetings. He also assured me that I'd be making what I'm making now, and that's always been the major sticking point of me taking another perm job. I simply need more money than a regular tech makes!
I think I'm going to go ahead and put in an app. Hell, even if it sucks big time, I'm not getting rid of the RV, so I can always go back to traveling. Plus, it would look damned good on a resume. :)
Of course, they may hire someone else, and face the wrath of the workers, or they could end up offering me less than I require, but I'll never know unless I try.
