I left after only 2.5 years.  I didn&#x27;t even have any watershed experiences.  I just eventually heeded the voice in my head that whispered &quot;get out of here&quot; on a regular basis.<p>So I left, and I didn&#x27;t exactly stop hearing that voice, but at least it said &quot;this is pathetic&quot; instead.<p>It didn&#x27;t shut up entirely until I moved again.<p>I can barely even stand to drive around Chicago on the tristate tollway now.
