escape velocity! i'm sorry that it was such an unceremonious end; i mean that's such a bad sign when all you want is some time off and they say "no". glad you're able to move on though; good luck in the next stage of things.
i'm in that phase now too; also passing 12 years at the same place and feeling burnt out, trying to get the energy to start looking around. solidarity!
