Hey people I forgot to share the other good news.
I got the job!!! I found out just before the July 4th holiday and my start date is August 8th - woo frickin hoo! There are so many pluses and only one minus to this transition, I am over the moon.
So why do I feel guilty for leaving my current employer? I will be letting go of that false sense of loyalty, don't worry. They would get rid of me in a heartbeat if the "business needs" dictated it. Actually I only have about 9 days of working in the office to go, then off to 2 weeks of vacation and on to the new job. I have been so angry at my work situation for the past 2-3 years. Layoffs of great co workers, seniority protecting the crappy ones, a demotion for me, a work place change that doubled my drive to work - all have added up to one giant pile of poop! Aside from those changes I am so over having my brain assaulted every day by the horror stories of what people do to children. I knew I was tuning out a few years ago and began asking for a change of venue/program to get a break from the ugliness. I have been told I am too valuable to my program to lose so I will have to stay. HA - I told them my choices were ask for a change or leave and now I can do it!!!
Having fantasies about dramatic quitting scenarios - any ideas my little internetties?

I don't have any fun suggestions o a dramatic quitting scenario but there are plenty on Youtube. Congrats on the new job, I know it will be a great move because Aug 8 is my lucky day (my wedding anniversary). Congratulations on moving forward!
So wonderful! I know you had been hoping for this new job for some time. Everything is falling into place for you.
Congrats on the new job. I too am contemplating a job change (interviewed over a week ago, but haven't heard anything yet).
