Today's the day!

I'm applying for a new job in the company that I really don't think I'll get. Having said that, I've done the application process - doctored the CV to make me look better than I ever was, written the appalling cover letter to espouse said "credentials". Now all I have to do is send it all off, have the interviews and be told that someone has got the job.

This would suck.

Why?

Because basically, I'm currently doing the job that I'm going for. Well, at least part of it. As an extension of my current daily duties, I've taken on a certain role that will be covered by this new position, and it's more interesting than my actual day to day.

So... when I don't get the new job and new blokey is installed in the position, the interesting part of my job will disappear along with my hopes. To make matters worse, I'll probably be asked to come in and help train the new person. Talk about a double whammy and adding insult to injury.

Do I wanna work myself up to this world of pain? Why not. It's the third internal job I've gone for, and I'm becoming good at the masichist stuff.
