I won't bore everyone, but it did happen. I got a new job, a dream job. I moved my family cross country, and changed everything. And so far, it's all been amazing. Getting paid more to have a better job with amazing people, more fun, more flexibility, in a better place is just amazing.

Last time it was the helpdesk guy who put in his month's notice and then suddenly was unbearable to be around. He wound up losing a lot...
