Going Away

I've never taken a long vacation from work and now my family and I are jetting off to Israel in a couple days and for some reason, it makes me nervous. Not flying or travelling, but maybe it's being away from my life for 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the vacation and have been for several months. I just worry...not that they won't be able to get along without me at work. That's just it...I'm in the throes of a long and arduous job hunt and soul search and what if I come back...and they decide they don't need me anymore? I know this is just me being silly, but seriously...my boss hasn't given me the time of day all week except tp point out 2 potential mistakes (one I made, and one I proved myself right thankyouverymuch) and that's it. I don't feel taken for granted, not really, but I see my co-worker getting projects and such and I've been there longer and none are being thrown my way.

If someone asked me openly and honestly why I want to change jobs, I would have to say "Because I'm not growing in this environment." And it's the truth because I can't move up, my co-worker would get promoted before I do anyway and I just don't want to do this anymore.
