Well I applied for the job. Then I later found out there may be a whole posse of people applying. One of the divisions has a number of unhappy people who are desperate to latch onto a job to get out of their division.

Then a work colleague asked me if I was applying. I said yes. He is most likely applying too.

Great. I've never worked in an organization where I applied internally --except once. Yea, I've managed to duck this experience for the past 25 yrs. by literally leaving an organization and joining other organizations.

Ah well, life goes on. And that's ok by me.
