Liz, I'm sorry to hear about the temporary downfall, but I'm glad to know that you've already gotten another interview lined up.
To answer the question regarding whether or not we admins hide ourselves... I think that most people, if they really looked at themselves, would say that we do depending on the situation. In my current position I had to hide some of my knowledge and skills and get creative in how I bring everyone around to my way (if possible). How much I have to hide depends on my boss, the length of time in a position, etc. I'm glad that in my current position I'm valued for my creativity, but when I started I hid some of that because it was seen as a threat to others. I'm currently getting ready to start a new job and I'll do the same thing there. Lay low, get a feel for the lay of the land, and then start showing all the creativity and go-get'edness that I have. One thing my father told me is that life and every job is a game. My goal is to play the game better than everyone else, which means sometimes feinting left or right before plowing ahead again. Hey, part of playing the game includes being able to tell folks that they are wrong with them not realising that that is what you just had them admit. Sometimes my creativity is shown in these more subtle ways of outmanuevering my co-workers or bosses. So far this game-playing has worked since I have progressed quite rapidly in my field. So, hiding our true colors isn't always a negative, though folks tend to think that it is.
Go get'em LIz!!!
