Vern, I know you're aware of the many pitfalls of working as a present day 1102- the overly burdensome admin work, the shoddy procurement systems, the 200 databases everything has to be entered into, the filing, the feds retiring in droves while inexperienced COs fill the void, just to name a few. I think I underestimated the monotony that goes along with the position while overestimating the amount of actual thoughtful analysis whether financial or legal that is required for the position. To make matters worse, you have a workforce that is constantly battered down and used as a political pawn. Morale is abysmal. GoGOLD made some good points too. I appreciate everyone's input. I have no plans on avoiding ethics. wvanpup- your comments are well taken- what I meant is I want to be prepared, that is all. Can you speak to what, if any, confidentiality one could expect during such a conversation (w/ethics)?
