Thank you OF. I always appreciate your perspective. Lots of good life experience well summarized.

The whole thing just sucks though. I work my ass off and I know I'm solid. On the one hand, I don't actually mind the job change (lots of problems adding up and the environment is really hard) but I don't like the demotion aspect and I am not a big fan of the job they are sending me too. Although I can do it, and am good at it. I just wish I wanted to do it. It's also really disappointing that they aren't giving me a chance with the new regime. The whole thing just sucks.

Anyway, I want to use this as an opportunity to change my paradigm from live to work to work to live. Guess this is really just repeating this for my benefit.
