I need to manage my expectations about what I can accomplish, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity.

Steve, I was an Environmental, Health and Safety Consultant for about 22 of my 29 year (so far) career. You'll love getting out of it. I no longer write proposals, market for work, see every person I meet professionally as "fresh meat", I don't worry about billability, utilization, or billing clients. I work a full week, most every week, and honest to god, I feel like I'm on permanent vacation. I'm at a conference this week in Vegas, and I just walk by those booths manned by consultants. Man, I can't believe I used to do that. I too joined a former client (Disney) a little over five years ago and the time has flown by.
