Bookie:
Most people get wake-up calls like this every day of their lives, but they don't wake up. They're lazy or opposed to change or afraid or simply so complacent they don't know it. When I was in jobs like that, I started to do stuff to get me fired. That way I didn't have to feel like a "quitter."
It was very hard to get me fired. I was a secretary and said Fuck You to the boss in front of the whole office. Everyone was freaked (and happy), but they new I'd be fired. I was, but they all argued for my job back, saying I was under stress. Ich. I didn't want it, but I took it because I was too scared to have to look for a job while getting my master's.
If you can't find a way to make it enjoyable to you, make the change now. It's the best time--New Year's. Start fresh. But decide what you really want to do. If I were you, I'd look for management at Barnes & Noble. I think being around books all day would get me high.
What are you interested in doing?
