>5.5 years in one dept, 6.5 in the current dept. Because of the atomic operating nature of depts at this hospital, it was like starting a brand new job.

Is this VFP work or something else?

I think this is what lost me business... my customer fell for jargon.

>My job at the hospital is so great, especially that I live 4 blocks away. I run home for lunch with my wife and daughter if they aren't at work/daycare. During my daughters first 8 months of life, I would put my two coffee breaks together in the morning to go home and watch my daughter while my wife had a shower. Stuff like that really plugged me into my family's home life a lot more.

Good on ya! You sound like you have a really nice setup. Let me know if you do ever decide to leave... I'd consider moving back to the west coast and apply to that hospital!
