The thought just crossed my mind of how bad my current employer will be screwed when I leave. Do you think I could use this as any type of leverage?
Basically, I am the only person here who knows how everything works and it would take some instruction/training for anybody to get up to speed in our environment.
Just an afterthought I guess, I still haven't told them I am leaving yet and have interviews set up for Friday and Monday of next week. -

VERY bad move if you leave without a job offer. Unless your related to Uncle Sam and don't need the money, DON'T do it. Your relationship with your boss might fall apart, who know's. As mentioned above, your more likely to get hired if your currently employed, so be wise my friend and stick it out!"If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.” - Ken Robinson -

In a situation like this, you can always be available to them as a consultant assuming that they are not a direct competitor with your new employer and your new hours don't make you completely unavailable. At a much higher rate or retainer fee of course.
