The other day I was listening to the radio on the way to work. I usually listen to morning talk shows that I find entertaining, in hopes of keeping my mind off the pending doom of getting to work. In between commercial breaks I was flipping through the channels and came upon a show talking about people quitting their jobs without having a new job lined up.
Much like the Jack In The Box workers, and the Garbage men, the callers had inspirational stories and outlooks on life. Most of them quit because their current jobs didn’t bring them happiness. Strangely, this radio topic made me depresses because it made me realize I do not have the guts (the proverbial “balls”) to just right out quit. Additionally I realized that if I quit, they win. If I had the balls I’d become the biggest Bob figure possible and force them to lay me off that way I’d get a severance package, get state unemployment and I would have the joy of free riding until they laid me off. That would be a very long term plan though, it took the original Bob about 10 years to get laid off.
Because I don’t have the guts to quit or to Bob it up, I throw rocks.
