When I got laid off, I had similar thoughts - I'd put 8 years into the 
company itself, and another 9 years (at that point) as a volunteer in the 
company's forums.

But that's not true.  Don't fall for the 'sunk cost fallacy' when it 
comes to employment.

Even if you don't realise it, you learned important things at your 
previous job (as I recall, it was your first after University, wasn't it?
) - no, I can't tell you what those things were.  That's something you'll 
have to look for.

What gives you that feeling?  You seem to be enjoying the work, and from 
what I recall you writing, you get along with your coworkers and 
management....
