Wink Finding a Good Mentor

Rainmaker,
In your case I would look for a successful female official who has progressed well in the past 6-10 years. There are some very good ones out there whether they are in your area I don't know. Failing that go to your regional supervisor and ask him/her to recommend someone who is very experienced, not just a level or so above you, because I believe that is where you are getting some of these bad ideas of making things even etc Once you get that good mentor drain all the ideas you can from that person and treat the other so called advisors with a grain of salt.
It may cost you a couple of beers once in a while but it will be well worth it and you will gain a friend for life-besides it appeals to their egos and they usually love to follow and assist in their proteges progress.
Go for it!!
