Thanks for the input!  I was just wondering if being assertive in something like discussing your job title or salary range was "off limits", or showed initiative and would be looked on favorably.  I guess it all depends on the job, company, and bosses.  With this position being brand new, and the guy not really knowing where it will be going right now, I thought may be a good time to ask.

Soooo sorry I rambled on, guess I got caught up in the moment!  I haven't interviewed a lot myself, and I didn't go into this interview really wanting the job, I was actually hoping to do well enough to get an offer, then hoping my current employer would offer me full time.  But that won't happen, they just hired another part-timer last week to "job share" with me, after me asking for full time for a year now!  So, I guess that shows me where I stand with my current company.  I also have my resume at another place closer to home, but the more I find out about this job, and meet the people, I think it can turn into a really great opportunity for me.  

And I agree with the lack of word processing skills - it's amazing how many high level Admins can't indent, do a table, columns, headers & footers, etc.  

On top of doing that "assignment", some people came in the front door needing help, and came over to me first, since I was closest to the door, so I had to act like I worked there for a minute to refer them back to the other folks!  LOL!!
