I fall into that same category myself. I thought I’d serve my time then head off to greener pastures. Fifteen years later, here I am coming to terms with the fact that I’m a regional lifer. At least it’s a job with a steady paycheck. Granted, that could change overnight, but I’m not gonna sweat it until the situation changes.
