Ok, I can breathe now...I am exhausted
My department came back with an excellent counter offer.
Many people did alot to get this to happen for me. I am in shock, in a good way. This means...(Not to sound trite) but they like me, they really like me!
Therefore, I have decided to stay here at my job.
I am happy and feel that I have made the best choice.
more tomorrow!

A nice way for me to start the day -- hearing about someone else's good news.
Is there an analog for Schadenfreude?

Agreed on the sentiment here. Congrats, fuzzy.
Coincidentally, the definition of "schadenfreude" was one of the questions on the audition test. Which is why I'm replying here instead of directly to fuzzy's post.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
