Wow, cool, that sounds great. Will the people you're intended to manage be doing your job? Because I know from experience that having a manager that can do your job is a very good thing. I imagine that being the case for a particularly hard job makes it more so.

You should totally blow your training allowance on knitting courses. Then you can make me a DNA scarf, and we'll all live happily ever after.

It would be even better if your job wanted you to transfer to Ireland to live with me, but I take it that's too much to hope for?

See? Told you if you stucked it out it would all work out. As an aside, I want one of your current business cards, and one of the new ones when you get them. I'm going to start doing a little flowchart tracking your course through the British Government.

But wait, there's more; you're going to be bossing people around? Henceforth, there shall be Dilbert comic strips for you and there is nothing thou can do about it.
