Love, Hate and Employment
No matter how hard I try, no matter how long I wait, no matter how often I "talk it out", I can't stop detesting my employment, i.e. "day job".
I need to earn a living. I need to provide for my family. Can one be paid for doing what they actually love doing? To put that more precisely can one be paid enough for what they love doing?
I've heard it said that the secret to success is to find what you truly love to do and pursue that, then the money will follow. If this is true, then it is impossible for me to do it in my current situation.
There are significant obstacles if I choose to move on and I can't stop punching walls the longer I stay... I'm feeling trapped. This really sucks. I don't see a way out at the moment, something has got to give.
Hey there Bugs...
Have you considered a leave of absence?
I could go on at some length about this that and the next thing but I'll keep it as brief as possible.
Mentally you've already quit this job. I've done it. I've watched others do it. I've been fired for doing it. I've fired others for doing it. So the question is: How far away are you from being fired and if you were fired tomorrow would you be surprised? Probably not I'm betting so, it then becomes a question of; on whose terms do you want to leave ... theirs or yours?
Just make sure it's the job that's at the route of the frustration.
Clive, I *really* appreciate your advice. Thanks very much for offering it =)
BTW, we are trying our best to plan time to get up to see you again!
