::THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE::

My boss is applying for a grant that would create a new position at the museum - a position for me to occupy. It would be at the Director level (I'm currently a manager, so this would be two steps up), and it would come with a $7200/year raise.

Please, my readership -- cross fingers, pray, think good thoughts, bat eyelashes, whatever -- do what it is you do to make things happen.

I deserve this.
