I know that reaching the decision was the hardest part. I worked for the State right out of Grad School and stuck with it for 20 yrs before leaving. You are so right about how things have changed (certainly not for the better). My official reason for resigning was "Health issues". The unofficial reason was a terrorist manager who was infamous for back stabbing. I never realized how bad it had gotten until three months after I left. I patted myself on the back for making sticking it out as long as I had. Office chemistry is fragile. One day it can be rewarding, even fun & then a new person arrives or a long term one leaves and the whole atmosphere is forever changed. It sounds like Starbucks is a good place to be for now. Human beings need encouragement & appreciation verbalized once in a while, but some people do not grasp this fact. You are a winner and the State has lost another experienced & hard working employee. <br />Congrads on becoming an Aunt again. I became an Aunt for the 1st time when I was 9 yrs. old. By the time I hit 50 I was a Great Great Aunt. I spoiled all of them rotten and don't regret it a bit.
