Work

Does what you do for a living have to be what you do that matters to you? Does your day-job have to be what you really want to be doing? My job is a place to put myself for eight hours, a stepping stone to something better, making books for a living, but I feel like I'm cheapening myself by still doing it, by still putting up with the bullshit. I'm sick of feeling like I'm wasting my time by showing up and working hard. I'm sick of feeling afraid to try for something better. Why am I so worried, so afraid of failing? At the end of the month I'll be able to apply out to other jobs within the company, and I'm going to start immediately.
