This is exactly what I am thinking will happen.  At the beginning I am just going to welcome the break from the grind.  Having to get up early for the commute, work in increasingly small and closer cubicles with constant distractions.  I'll actually be able to focus on my work and really become good at what I do.  And be healthier.  More sleep, more time to exercise, less stress.  And since my skills will be improving without all of the distractions, I will situation myself for great job opportunities once I get tired of this.  And I'll bank the money in the meantime.   Plus, it will be a good way to transition to my new life there.  I won't have to juggle doing the 9-5 while still unpacked and getting my life set up.

The biggest thing of all, however, is just the fact that this is the ultimate reward for sticking with this company for 8 years.  It was a very stressful job and I sacrificed a lot for it, including my health at certain points.  But the dedication has paid off.  The other thing is that I will get to continue to do important work.  So many jobs in DC are for the greater good and after doing that all of my adult life, I cannot imagine just working for a health insurance company or something like that.[/quote]
