I can't handle my job anymore

Please continue to live. I want you alive if for no other reason than to have one more person available to help out with Spectrum Civil Rights if and when we get rolling. And plus, a lively intelligence who learns the 26 Brazilian states just because it seems cool to know, please do stay with us. And I mean, on this Earth.

Maybe you could find an interesting, creative way to get down to the hospital emergency room and be prepared to laugh it off if they make the colossal mistake of not taking it seriously, when they really should.

Now, I am personally an agnostic and a discontent from organized religion, but if you're a religious or spiritual person, more power to you and maybe talk to a minister, rabbi, cleric, just to have one more decently strong pair of shoulders to lay some of this on.

And I'd like to pitch you on a couple of books, and not boring books on depression or suicide, but a couple of books that go it out at much more obliquely.

The book Selling Ben Cheever by the author, he has a famous father, at the time Ben himself wasn't yet that good at fiction writing, so he had a series of jobs kind of ill-suited for himself, except there were aspects of the car job at the end he liked.

The novelist Irwin Shaw often writes the same novel over and over again. It's about a slightly depressed businessman who still does positive things. But he writes well and includes good stories.

And what do you think of Republicans making disbelief in global warming an article of political faith?

And the whole Fermi Paradox and Stephen Jay Gould's rejoinder?

What I mean is, we need you alive as both a thinker and a doer.

I'm not going to be committing suicide this weekend. I just went on a whale watching trip yesterday and got really seasick. I don't really feel like having to deal with the complications of a failed suicide attempt now. Despite that this trip went badly, it refreshed my perspective on life, thus making my train of thought from a couple of days ago seem kind of irrelevant. I also went to a fair today, which helped to cheer me up a little.

Yea!! !

And I'm glad the whale watching trip worked, even if only in a roundabout way. And refreshing one's perspective on life can be a very good thing.

If there are no changes going to made in the job then you might as well just walk away and find something else.
