I am to be lead chair on all the big stuff, and help advise and mentor the line attorneys.

Big huge perk - Free college tuition for the kids if they go to a school in the UM system.

It was a bit out of the blue b/c I had applied for it some time ago and was told I had not gotten the job. Still some hoops to jump through so can't tell my supervisors just yet. My new boss's attitude was "We would like you here yesterday" but it's still the govt. so gotta make sure all the bureaucratic BS is done.

Pretty f'ing psyched.

That's great to hear. Your hard work and patience has paid off. Is this the same promotion you were thinking passed you by?

Again, thanks all!

No. Different one from earlier in the Summer. They told me in July that it had been given to someone else. The person who took it, however, had applied for other jobs as well and one of them came through. The issue now is whether they have to readvertise or if they can just name me based on the last round of applications.

You need to treat yourself to a steak dinner and few cold drinks!!!!!!!!!!
Actually you probably need to treat your wife to nice dinner and a few glasses of wine because we know she is the one who keeps you straight.
