Wherein Phnee ponders whether to quit right fucking now...

[mousme]

I have reached an all-time peak level of job hateage. Yes, that's a word: I just made it up. :P

I have been sitting on my hands not to go up to my boss and give them my two weeks' notice right fucking now. I have enough financial stability right now to go for a month without having a job, and perhaps even a bit more than a month if I'm *very* careful. Three months if I dip very far into my savings.

This job is sucking the life out of me, one phone call at a time.

So, in light of this, what do y'all think?

Being in a job that you don't like is morally wrong? Get off the soap-box buddy.

No, what I said was working JUST for survival is morally wrong. And I stand by that. As for telling all those other people in that position? Not my responsibility. They're responsible for creating their own happiness. Now if they want to solicit my opinion on the matter (as I felt was the case here) that's another story.

But some people, like you apparently, don't seem to care if they like their job or not because other areas of their life make up for it. Fine. But for those of us that DO care about obtaining at least some level of personal satisfaction out of our work, it is important to obtain that.

Death is inevitable, living is not. My feeling is that if you go through a period of time, whether it's an hour, a day month, or worse yet, your entire life, and find yourself saying "well I survived that" instead of saying "wow, I LIVED during that!" that's where the immorality comes in. You're squandering the only thing we all have and know of for sure, our time alive in the here and now. I don't see how one can justify that.

And that's why I'm so passionate about this job thing, and the idea that it's wrong to accept that it's one's lot in life to suffer in one way or another. It doesn't have to be that way.

It's not wrong to not wanting to be a corporate drone. Their are other choices.
