When you know that you’re ready
but the time is not right…
You don’t need to hide from what you want
You’ve just got to give it all you got…
The first thing that you need
You got to have faith.
Air Supply, Faith

Unfortunately, we learn the most when times are tough. I went through a "work thing" a few years ago that I thought I'd never get over. But had that crappy thing not happened, I wouldn't have my dream job today. So hang in there. It does get easier.

Suzanne: Thanks for your comment and the advice/words of comfort. I was so used to hearing horror stories about the workplace that I never quite realized I was facing such a difficult situation of my own until the end, when I saw the after-effect. I so often second-guessed my decision to leave the company, but looking at the then and now, I realize that it was the best decision I have ever made for myself. You're absolutely right, that's actually the one thing about the entire situation I'm grateful for: I learned...And there were so many lessons.
Someone once told me that life is the toughest school there is -- it serves you the test first and teaches you the lesson afterward. So true. So, so true.
It certainly sounds like your situation turned out for the best, and I'm so glad to see it all worked out for you.
Thanks again!

Life will teach you somethings.... If you let it.
It is so hard to get a grip on things while you are going through them. Because you cant see the lesson while in the middle of it.
I have learned to embrace the struggles as a part of the "GAME" and learned to live with it
Just my $.02
Agile.. Mobile.. Hostile

Rattlerman: I love what you have to say, and the "if you let it" is definitely the key. While I wish I could have learned while things were happening, the truth was I was so far in it that I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I've since learned from the situation, and I've come a long, long way from where I was. And I think that's really all I can do.
I hope that I can take your advice and let life teach me what I'm meant to be taught, to open myself up enough to learn from each situation, and move on.
Your two cents were well worth it ;)
Thanks so much for your comment; wishing you well.
