Update:

Nothing new to report here today on my existing job. One more day in limbo. On the positive front I received three calls from recruiters today. One of which sounds great and in a small world twist is working for someone I know from a prior company.

Bworl and Ali, thank you both for your support and kind words. It really does make a difference that people like you guys take the time to offer compassion and support. I was talking with an old friend of my today and after I got done filling him in on my situation all I heard was silence. Then he said "man, you have had a sh*tty year haven't you." It made me laugh and it felt good. Smiles and laughter are rare for me lately. I am lucky to have friends who always seem to say the right things to get me to smile. One in particular.

Life goes on....

Btw, Bworl, "ripping" at me is quite the right way of expressing how I feel when I think about leaving them.
