Took some time off to rest, recuperate, rejuvenate.

My old employer sought me out to hire me for a different role w/ a 20% raise.

So, I took it.

Got a new director and it feels *incredibly* different being under new a management and some time away.

Was stuck in meetings w/ an old colleague who is still in my old unit.

He sounds miserable. I told him as much and told him to think about getting a new job or taking some extended leave.

It's made a world of difference for me. (The increased pay has too.)
