Thanks for the helpful replies.  I've been in my current position 8 years, coming straight from school, and I think part of this is an itch for something new; I didnt expect to be here this long, and with no obvious opportunity here to change/move up it's daunting to think of another 22 years.

But the perspective about the kids still being young is useful.  For the last 5 years I kept thinking, when DC gets to K....now I realize that it's just starting and the time constraints are probably going to get worse instead of better.

The private company said the right things about flexibility, but with the higher workload I'm probably looking for less work rather than more flexibility.  So be it if that makes me lazy.   The idea of losing my job is terrifying, and while the retirement beneftis doesn't bother me (I like FERS, but they have a match-program too), the threat of not being able to use accrud vacation is also worrisome.

I like being able to watch junk TiVo after they go to bed - pulling out my blackberry or laptop does not sound appealing.  I guess i should cancel the interview rather than waste more of their time.

Thanks![/quote]
