Job 51: Internal Promotion at current employer

So they're creating a half and half position -- half teaching, half administrative work. It's a great opportunity to learn all about the field I'm currently in, and if they offered it to me, I would take it in a heartbeat! Unfortunately,  all of us have to compete for it, and I don't feel good about competing with people I like. But not to the point that I wouldn't do it. I want it!
