Have they given you a date for your surgery?
Where I work, all engineers that become managers undergo a mandatory operation. They remove your brain, your spine, and if you're male, your 'two best friends'.
The good news is that the removed parts are stored in cryogenic suspension and reattached if you go back to being an engineer. This happened to my (now former) boss, when he reverted to being a developer.

Well, thank you for your support and confidence.
As it happens, I was Software Development Manager & CIO in a previous life - just got fed up with paper-pushing & not having time to get dirty in the code.
This role will be somewhat more hands-on - so less paperwork, less politics (well, one can but hope) and more responsibility for actually getting a good job done!

I hope like hell you become/are a good manager, they are bloody difficult to find and invaluable when they work well.

Oh, were those your balls I heard being detached?

If that means that you have to manage your development of the same software that you were managing your development of before, but for more money, well done!

good luck
you can always get middle mgmt. on side by expressing the changes required in something they'll understand... $$
cr@ppy code == rework, waste, p*ssed off customers
rework ... == money
money == their jobs if they aren't 'on board'

Personally I like the word "risk"
As in
"We can release these changes untested, if you are prepared to accept the risk.

That reminds me of writing homework reports.
Put it off until the last few days.
Start writing in fear of being late.
Write title - done for the day, rest till tomorrow.

Make a todo list and forget where I put it.

I would respond to that but I do not remember what we are talking about.

5) Start a new todo list, because this bluddy phone app only gives me space to display five lines of the list.
