How I did it: The hardest part was finding someone in my organization with a job that would take me in a place I wanted to go.  My current office had a position in another city, and although it meant another year of shift work, I took it.  Once that happened, I found a replacement for myself in my apartment, I moved out, and I up and left town - permanently.  Ha!

Lessons & tips: Keep your eyes on the prize.  Its easy to get used to DC or to become complacent, but its so much better elsewhere.
