Shit or get off the pot. Shit or get off the pot. Shit or get off the pot. Shit or get off the pot. Shit or get off the pot. Shit or get off the pot.

Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit. Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit. Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit. Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit. Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit. Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit. Try your hardest at your stupid job or quit.

Dunno, message to myself. I really felt like quitting today, instead I just went home. Which is not shitting or getting off the pot. I need to really buckle down and earn the promotion they've been waving like a carrot in my face ever since I got the damned job (not that I didn't work that hard in the beginning, not that I'm doing a shitty job now, but there's so much competition you need to give it your all--which I don't). Or quit. I have no other job lined up. But I want to quit so bad. Quit, quit, quit. Someone... convince me to do one or the other. Please.

as a voice of practicality (& not wanting to have to support you ;) - i'm going to have to go with don't quit - particularly in this economy unless you have something else lined up that's halfway decent...

i thinkkeeping your job is practical. i think if your job is making you sick and it is a very dark pace, negative or unhealthy atmosphere, quitting is an option. can you handle the stress of not having a job. do you have a network to help get you out of there. if you can handle staying, it would be good to get your resume'ready and get some feelers out, get started and prepare.
i have lived through horror work environments. i have quit and felt great and proud.
i have gone away after making plns and thinking it through.
your gut will tell you the answer, if you are quiet and listen. no one knows but you.
