May I put in a good word for you?

You’ve already talked to your wife about it. Maybe she doesn’t want to impose, and is waiting for you to manfully take up her cause, without her begging. She didn’t object, but she did apply. Shw sm blls. If you think she would be better, or as good as you, what are you waiting for? Her permission for you to resign???
Snap out of it. I got the best job of my life with my brothers recommendations, and he didn’t ask me, and he puffed my credentials way above my ability. After the job ended, the employers didn’t even remember me, but kept being friends with my brother just the same.
Just saw your other post: “Run it by the ethics officer?” Why not ask all of the other applicants for their opinion? On second thought, disregard what I said about shwng sm blls.

Well, I’d just as soon keep my “blls” concealed - as well as keep my job. Clearing something with our ethics officer is merely a CYA formality. Perhaps other organizations are far different than mine … In my opinion, well worth the minimal effort to ensure continuance of our family’s income.

Spoke with Ms. D last night, and she said she would appreciate it if I made a couple of calls. So today I set off to demonstrate exactly how little influence I have around here! :stuck_out_tongue:
