If you don't have any dependents, you should quit. I could spit out a bunch of mundane platitudes to support that suggestion, like "In life, you never regret the things you do; you regret the things you don't do" or "You have to do what you're passionate about, or you'll never be happy," but you already know those things, everybody does, that's why they're called platitudes. You already know you should quit.
Ergo, your problem is motivation. Allow me: I'm going to keep calling you a pussy over and over again until you quit your job. Of course, you won't be able to hear me because I'm in my basement and you're not[1], but trust me, I'll be saying it. Pussypussypussy.
[1]Unless you're my black lab, in which case one of us needs to get the other to the hospital.
- craftsman 16y agoI have to upvote that one because it was too damn funny. And unfortunately for me, apparently true...for now.
- mudge 16y agohaha, I'll keep calling you pussy until you quit too!
- andreyf 16y agoDid some obscure reference in your footnote just woosh me?
- Towle_ 16y agoNo obscure reference. I probably made that joke too hard to get by making it so G-rated. Whoops. Might sound silly at this point, but I thought there was a serious chance that comment would get down-voted into oblivion. Sure, it's at +64 right now, but what if the OP hadn't responded like he did? Good example of that Derek Sivers guy's "First Follower" principle. I'm not usually a Sivers fan (got nothing against him either) but First Follower is some real-ass shit.

- mortenjorck 16y agoPotential Awesomeness Reminders. "Good morning! Did you work on [side project] yesterday? You're not going to be awesome unless you do!" Simply being accountable to a mysterious voice on the other end of the telephone every morning might actually motivate a lot of people.
