Hell yes I'd take the job. I love coding, but I also love having responsibilities and getting paid accordingly 
As a bonus I can make my underlings do whatever I want, ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!!! MUWHAHAHA!

Not really, actually
I used to be lazy until I started working.
Before that I went to school, which really sucked up all of my energy, creativity, will to learn, lifeforce, everything actually.
It still does that, that's why I hate studying, but I still do it from time to time...
I also really don't like manual labour. Chores, garden, that sort of stuff.

I'm with you there: I hate mowing the damn lawn - you end up with a huge pile of cr@p to get rid of, and it just grow back anyway!
But I don't mind manual labour sometimes: fixing motorcycles (even cars sometimes), reupholstering my chair, making a fence. There is a sense of "completion" that you don't get often enough from coding.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Concrete? You can color it too...

I suggested green concrete many years ago.
She did start speaking to me again, after a few weeks...

So suggest it again! It will not take away the problem of the garden, but at least she will left you alone...

"Speaking" is not the only thing she doesn't do...

Now that's when I get lazy... Just leave it lying there. It'll be gone in a week

The only thing I complete is chaos. I'm really bad at that sort of stuff... Had to paint a wall. So I sandpapered it (with a name like Sander you'd say no problem!) and it did actually look pretty good. Then I had to clean my whole living room because it was covered in dust. So then I started painting and by the time I was finished I noticed it didn't look as good anymore. So the next week I sandpapered, cleaned and painted again. Didn't look good again, so then I just sandpapered it some more. It looks "okay" now, but screw that $#%@#^$*@) wall. It's only in my kitchen so I'll only have to look at it everytime I'm at home and in the kitchen, which is multiple times a day.
I kind of saw this coming too, so I hired someone to do the rest of the house for me

It is much more easier to paint a white wall programmatically - Blank[^]

Well, the opportunity to say a big no, is tempting...

I have been a team leader and a system architect in my time. Given the choice between being a mediocre team leader / system architect and being an outstanding software engineer, I will always choose excellence over status.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've accepted the step up into middle management a couple of times in different companies and regretted it every time. The last time was a few years ago at my current employer, now I'm at the point of beginning to look for work again. I think I've finally learned my lesson, I'm a software engineer, not a manager.
Give the choice now I'd not hesitate to turn it down.
