GREAT news! I was named President of the university where I work!

But I turned it down. Not sure how I would spend all that money I would gain in salary so I decided to not take the additional stress.
But isn't it great that someone would choose someone that wasn't even qualified???

But I felt it someone else's time to shine. That, and I'm kind of a private person, and wanted to spare my family all that intrusive publicity.
