Hope you take the right decision. Since they approached you, and one of them already knew you wear kilts, it looks like they will be kilt friendly.

Just the mention of tribal politics makes me fee ill. Could I have a double helping of tribal politics w/ a side of government beaurocracy and a sword to throw myself onto. Good luck if you pursue it!!!

Wow. Always exciting to be recruited.
Keep in mind that if it pays a lot more, there is usually ALWAYS a (negative) reason. Been there. Keep us posted.

**Fearnest** · 2nd April 07, 01:42 PM

Great news... looks very promising (from this part of the world). Best wishes!!!

Congrats on the possible opportunity. Sounds like it might be a good fit for your talents and interests.
Just make sure to consider your recent posting on why you didn't seek a supervisory role at your current employer.

Just my $0.02.

Sounds promising. But why did you leave there in the first place?

**Riverkilt** · 2nd April 07, 02:44 PM

Good point Kirkwood,

I was a family therapist there before. Left when the place shut down for not being able to hire Residential Guidance Technicians (read house managers) so the place was staffed at night while clients slept - ye olde firewatch.

Just got boring working as a therapist at a place with no clients. The agency I work at now was hiring.....

Sounds like good news! Always nice to be the one that's asked, rather than the one doing the asking.

the man who started the st.columcille pipe and drum has much in common with you!read below

Born in Glasgow, Scotland of Irish parents (his mother from County Down; his father from County Donegal), Sean McGonigal spent part of his youth in Ireland. As a young man, Sean won a scholarship to the Scottish Master Painters and Decorators Academy, and in 1929, took his expertise as a sign painter and emigrated to the United States. Sean opened his own business as a sign painter shortly following his arrival, settling in Kearny, New Jersey.

It wasn't long before Sean became involved in organized piping, an interest that would consume the rest of his life. In 1933 he helped to form the Brian Boru Pipe Band as well as assisting other beginning pipe bands state wide. In 1949, Sean founded a pipe band that he wanted to be different than any that had gone before. He chose St. Columcille to represent his ideal - the unity of the Gael. Sean wanted St. Columcille to represent all who were proud of their blood and heritage and the band was no sooner formed than it was out making it's first appearance in October, 1949 in the Holy Name Parade in West Orange, New Jersey.

Sean's interest was not limited only to bagpipes. He had great interest in different cultures and a love of foreign tongues. In addition to being fluent in Gaelic, Sean also spoke German, Yiddish, French. Italian, Spanish and several American Indian dialects. His vast knowledge of the history of the American Indian qualified him as a contestant in the $64,000 Dollar Question, the popular 1950's quiz show. Sean's expertise in American Indian heritage allowed him to become a member of various Indian organizations, including the American Indian Congress and the Arrow Society .
