My current job continues, thought the stress has really lifted. I have a lot to do because I don’t have any intention of leaving them high and dry, but at this point I am not worried about minutia. I’m trying to put together some documentation for the next guy or whoever has to take over when I leave, which is an impossible task. We have a relatively small setup in the scope of things, but small systems come with their own complexities when they are used the way we use them.

They wanted me to consult for them for 60 days on the off chance they needed something (which I wasn’t really thrilled about in the first place). They offered way too little money, especially given that I am the only person who knows THAT system. It just proves to me that leaving is the right thing to do. I counter-offered and they refused and wished me luck. I may have burned a bridge there, but I asked what I thought was a fair price given that I would be expected to put up with the same crap for another 2 months. Other than the fact that I had a specific purpose in mind for the money, my feelings aren’t really hurt that they turned it down.
