One question while you are there. Who's shoes would you rather be in? Your own or Brian's? Or perhaps Ms Yoda? Do you feel the competitive fire or do you prefere to be on the sideline of the battle?
In my former "real" career -- -- I was always "line". To now serve as "staff" is, well, different. Doesn't keep me from enjoying the ride, of course, but it is different.
More good news is that, in every other aspect of this new career, I remain very much line. And that suits me to a "T".
