That's because you are a rock star, sir! And yes, my stints in managerial positions were similar, and that's why I'm not doing that today.

but seriously, i do not like the people aspect of supervising. hahhaha..discipline, $$hitty performance, etc. BLEECHHHH. it's awful.

Exactly. Give me technical work or manual labor and I'm fine. I'd probably also be OK with being the manager of a group that was staffed 100% with awesome folks that just got the work done

my wife calls me worried about me. i told her this morning i am 80% gonna turn down the promotion if it is offered to me. i am not gonna follow a life of stress. i have no kids, so i dont need the money. i admire the people chasing more and more. not me. i dont think i am that guy.

I was curious where you were with this. Good luck in whatever you do. I think it's a good call. Stress, especially chronic, does have a pretty major impact on health.

There are folks that really excel at and love being in management. I'm certainly not one of those.
