Professional: Reasons for leaving

Tomorrow, I submit my letter of resignation to my boss.  It'll be the standard letter that I pull from the internet (yay Google) but in order to remember where "I came from" and why I am submitting this, I shall list it out in the ethos:

Why am I leaving?
- the encounter driven systema nd organizational heirarchy are not sustainable.  Something will have to give.
- miss collaboration with other healthcare professionals (colleagues currently work part time and are as busy as me.)
- keep closer interaction with an inpatient facility
- closer to family
- lack of autonomy and innovation in the workplace
- young and want the challenge
- closer to a major airport
- Austin is same pretention wrapped in faux openness and the gay scene has been "done"
- waking up every morning frustrated
- there is no cutlture of safety or preventative health
- too much typing resulting in the predecessor to carpal tunnel
- feedback not respected or appreciated

Why leaving will suck:
- my patients
- my co-workers
- limiting acces to kids who need it
- moving and leaving the perfect house and neighborhood
- starting over with a new patient panel
- farther from hometown
- leaving a terrific tennis instructor
- leaving great neighbors
- I had established the competencies of most of my therapists
- established business in Round Rock
- working with J. Beard

But a change can be a very good thing; and I intend to be open to it.
