  • Did I see anything strange? Why yes I did!

    When I was a young boy, I was traveling in the African Sahara when a rock fell and hit me on the head, knocking me unconscious. I awoke a few days later surrounded by a family of chimps. They loved me and cared for me. They picked the bugs out of my hair and the ticks out of my eyes. They taught me their chimp ways, their chimp language, even their chimp dances. It was all I could do to keep from becoming a chimp myself!

    Well years later after I was reintroduced to human society I was strolling through a mall and saw someone that was the spitting image of my chimp uncle. I ran up to him and hugged him. “Oh Unkie! Oh Unkie I missed you so! I missed the bananas!”

    He looked down on me with fierce, crazy eyes, and reached up and ripped off his head. It was nothing but a man in a costume. I was mortified.







  • Definitely a tough call, but it does sound like you have a good thing going. It sounds like your boss values you, so I’d suggest you take the route my wife did. She didn’t want to deal with the meetings/paperwork of a promotion, but talked her boss into getting a pay raise and some benefits while keeping her current role. Doesn’t hurt to ask. Best of luck!



  • Keep in mind that more physically demanding jobs wear your body down faster. And if you took the office job and it wasn’t your cup of tea, how difficult would it be to go back to your current position?

    My wife turned down an office promotion but negotiated basically all the pay and benefits of it to keep her current role, maybe you could give that a shot?
