    I hate to read about all these acting appointments. Just appoint the people in the positions. Acting or Appointed, you can be fired or reassigned. Looks like we are living in Hollywood with all these acting.

    Congratulations. I wonder if they advertised the position. If they did not, I am glad you were recognized as a present employee given a promotion. Great job.
