Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you know you'll regret not leaving, then leave.
This. And congrats, le nubian!!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Doooo eeeeeeeet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Your first responsibility is to yourself.
Absofuckinglutely. I'm all for having a sense of responsibility to your job and your co-workers and showing loyalty.
OTOH, if they undervalue you so much that they (a) are not compensating you enough to stay; or (b) have created a toxic environment then you'd be foolish to soak up the failings of your workplace.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Awful coworkers for limited time vs. eternal regrets
Unless the coworkers awful extends to poisoning our coffee, I'd say give notice and take the job. If the awfulness does extend to poisoning your coffee, I'd say just drop a note off with the receptionist and run.
ETA: And, of course, take the job.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, le nubian! I knew they'd see your awesomeness.

Art Crawl!!!
Had a pretty productive middle of the day: ran the main errand I had - a three-part adventure involving stopping at Walgreen's for packing tape and sharpies, going to the bagel place for breakfast (and most importantly - coffee), packing my box and a light spot of reading and then to the post office to mail the package. Stopped off to rest and read on the way back and came home where I have been most unproductive for the rest of today.
Did watch two (pretty much the last two) Kentucky Derby preps - both good races.
