		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Payne met with me the next week in my office at work. I shut the door and immediately unloaded my great burden on him, working myself into a lather about my untapped, underutilized, unacknowledged leadership potential that was completely going to waste. He let me rant for a while, and then he gave me [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=shrinkingthecamel.com&amp;blog=4134332&amp;post=204&amp;subd=shrinkthecamel&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The truth is, over the past few months I had been experiencing a bout of career angst that had been driving me nuts.

It&#8217;s located in a bucolic, historically-preserved town that happens to be a stone&#8217;s throw from the pharmaceutical Mecca of the Northeast, and also within commuting distance of both New York City and Philadelphia. Needless to say, we are a church community filled with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=shrinkingthecamel.com&amp;blog=4134332&amp;post=174&amp;subd=shrinkthecamel&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
