Not Going to do It

I decided not to apply for the promotion at my job.

I don't think I'm ready for it, I don't know enough, I'm not on top of it yet.

And really, I don't want the responsibility.

I kind of like the fact that I have my list of stuff to do, and when it's done, I still get paid to pay my bills, or blog, or surf the 'net. I don't have people knocking on my door for questions (mostly) I don't have to stay later if a client drops in and it;s time for me to go, and when I get someone pissed off, I can hand them over to someone else to deal with.

And I get paid pretty well as it is, for the amount of work I have to do.

Maybe next year.

Wow, sounds like the same reasons that I don't particularly want to move up the ladder where I work...not at this moment. I like that the buck pretty much never stops with me :-)
