back in the good old days, i always used to have a rule. it was very simple: when getting out of bed to go to work is difficult because going to work makes me unhappy, i need to find a new job.

i’ve been systematically ignoring the rule for about six months now.

perhaps it’s time to stop.

they have a year. a year to stop making me miserable, sapping my energy and my joy away from me. in this year i will finish puremessage, i will finish mirapoint, and i will consider my outstanding duties discharged, and my responsibilities fulfilled. if, by that time, they are still making me feel like this, i will find a new job, regardless of my personal financial situation.
