Do it.
The worst that can happen is that you don't get it and waste half an hour - hopefully of your employer's time - preparing the paperwork.

But I'm assuming you've heard of the Peter Principle? Your not thinking you're ready is thereby neither here nor there.

I'm going to pimp my CV, since I've not done it since I got the job and no longer needed to play with it all the time.
I don't know of the Peter principle, I must admit!

You alright now, good sir?

Yep, thanks.
The policeman came this evening, and was a bit meh about the whole thing - and I do wonder whether I overreacted.

But I was quite trembly about it.


The Peter Principle, just in case, says that people get promoted until they're in a job they can't do - on the basis that if you can do it, you'll get promoted. This is why most institutions are run by imbeciles: the non-imbeciles have taken a better offer elsewhere, where they've become imbeciles in their own right.

Cunning, eh?

I'd rather be safe than sorry myself - he did seem unhinged from what I read.
Not to mention the amount of previous that was dug up on the guy; you expect that kind of thing if you piss off 4chan, but not here!

I like this idea; it accounts for a lot of the middle-management I have dealt with throughout my life (especially Dell when trying to get them to actually show up with my PC; I had to use the Voice "if you can't do this, then I want to be escalated to your manager." ... who said the same thing.) By this logic, I could go pretty far!

Yep.
I'll be the one with a black eye and broken teeth.
