The most difficult decision I've ever made.

[crays]

I wish I didn't work for an asshole.

Self employed, huh?

Just kidding. I used to brush off my "chronic whiner" (not lumping you in there) coworkers as lazy, etc., until a few years ago. Morale where I work is the lowest I have ever seen it. I will be moving on as soon as the opportunity presents itself (17 yrs in). I can hardly drag myself to work lately, and I enjoy what I do.

I left my job of 23 years in July.
Hard decision? Not at all, it had run its course and I was burned out.
This is gonna sound silly, but after watching the way our elected officials in this state steamrolled their constituents, disrespected the sheriffs and sucked front tit of the Bloomberg, Tom Mausers and such and then to speak with Hick personally (via a radio show) and tell him that this was not an objective debate and process, that his cabinet members ignored the public and sheriffs only to hear him say basically "Too bad".....well it stuck in my craw and there was no way, shape or form I could represent that in ANY way.
Add to that the job duties that I held (data specialist-plugging the same numbers everyday into the same program) and some changes in hierarchy I was done.

It can be a hard decision to make, or it can be very easy depending on your circumstances.

Either way, you've opened the page to a new chapter into the book of: "JM ver 2.0, the Saga continues"......

Is JM banned again?





Seriously, good luck with the new endeavor.

On this, my 4,000th post, I swear I will never be banned again....

Good luck to you with your new job.

Leaving local for fed is just a way of changing pastures. The grass is still the same color.

It took me a while to realize that regardless of how much or how little impact I make while on any job, within a week or less of leaving, few if anyone remembers who you were or what you did. I've seen it many times; some employee retires after many years (good people and bad). Within days, their desk/office/work space is reassigned and life goes on. With a little turn over, you mention some project/case/assignment Joe did a great job on and half the people there look at you and say, "Joe who?"

Do your best but know that every minute you spend with family and friends is worth one hundred hours at work.

Going to Quantico or Brunswick?

Be safe.

Glynco. Which is, in a sense, Brunswick.

I know it well. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynn County Georgia, just north of Brunswick. Enjoy PAM's #1, St Simons and Sally's Cop shop.

If you know it well you might be getting a PM from me... Training is only going to be three weeks. But I'll need something to do for three weeks.

At least it won't be during the tick and chigger season. It's been about seven years since I was there last and the paper mill in Brunswick was either not active or closed because the aroma was decided less sulfury than the other eight or nine times I've been there.

FLETC is like a community college for fed LE. You either hate it and can't wait to get out or you like it and go back often until you get a job as an instructor.

If you get a long weekend, you can easily drive down to Disney World in Orlando. Brunswick is almost one hour north of Jacksonville, FL and one hour south of Savannah, GA. Best St Patrick's Day in the country is in Savannah. Plenty of fishing around the area, but not much else.

PM any questions and I will do my best.
