    Third Anniversary 100 Love Its 100 Comments Name Dropper

    I worked myself to death when I first started here. It was just me and my dog, so I had no other life. I nearly killed myself being at the office so much. When I got zero recognition, I decided it wasn't worth it and scaled back. I guess I've been slowly building up resentment since then.

    It's just all come to a head now. I want out. Trust me, I do. I pushed really hard for about a week to find another job and got discouraged. I have excellent benefits here, and I'm 2 years from being fully vested in a 401K that I never could get the incompetent payroll person to set me up for. I guess I'm just making excuses.

    I feel utterly defeated right now. Completely worthless.

    "They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, 'Search for Paradise.' " - Kiba, Wolf's Rain

    Frankly I wish that, when I ditched my feel-like-shit job, I'd vaulted the counter I stood behind every day, told everyone to go fuck themselves, flipped the whole store off, and spun tires with the loudest, awfulest, meanest music blaring so loud it rattled the glass in the store windows. The issue being that when I quit, I felt like I had absolutely failed at life and like I was, literally, the grossest, worst little piece of shit on someone's shoe, and spent about a week crying over the fact that I had lost my job IN RETAIL. I mean, how does a person with two college degrees LOSE a job in RETAIL?! That's why I say - from experience - if you are in a job where you're feeling worthless, then get out.

    And this. THAT, if nothing else, should scream "Get out."

    What have you always wanted to do?

    ETA- caught that last bit and wanted to cry.
