I know this is the same question asked over and over, perhaps in a slightly different way. How do you know when you've stayed in the same job TOO LONG!?! ...probably for the sake of all concerned, the employee as well as the employer. I think I'm there.

I've already made my introductory post a while back but have not made a firm decision on when (if?) I'll pull the trigger. Problem was, DW was anxious about us not having enough money even though I was not planning on stopping work, just quitting the grind of the past 20 years and working on...

I also thought of titling this "AM I STUPID?" Not my first post on my uneasiness on taking ER...I currently get PAID for sick leave, vacation, attending conferences, etc. Does it make any sense for me to give that up just because I don't feel happy or rewarded or even engaged most of the time...

We're leaving on Thursday. Any suggestions? We went to the Mexican Caribbean each summer for many years but it got a little scary so we're branching out. I just got through greasing the seal on my underwater housing for my camera! :dance: Brad

.... I think, :blush: I've been working in my current position for 18+ years. It's with the State. My previous position was very similar and that was 8+ years. So, I've been BORED for 26 years for the most part but felt it was my obligation to have steady income for my family's sake...
