Thanks

Personal fit.
Living on conference calls. Boring. Very Stressful. I'm more of a do-er than a Manager. If I ever find myself in a management position, I will be one of those working managers.

Most of the time, they wrote the check and drove a YEAR of my life away! What sort of 'project' are you going to be 'managing'? Most recently, (2 years worth), I have been 'managing' a 'project' that the county paid $55,K for, and rents for another $10,000 per year that NO ONE else in our system UNDERSTANDS! Oh! There is another person that understands it, but the UNION won't let her put her hands on it! She just has to tell me what she needs and I GET it for her. I drove her to grade school back in the 70's. (School Bus #32.) She is my supervisor. I helped get her there so I could have a 'ally'. I didn't want to get there myself. I am more of a 'do-er than a leader. I understand it, so I get to answer the hard questions, so the BOSS can explain what is going on! GERRRRRRRR!!! EXAMPLE..... 'project manager'
