On this topic, if the MP calls you with new projects even though you are flailing on others, it means they don't want to fire you, but rather that they only want to kill you, correct? |

Brother, it most assuredly never goes away. The nagging voice telling you "I can't waste my life like this" will never leave your head.
All debts can be worked out over time.
BUT, you have to make the decision outside the context of talking to most lawyers (read, not most people here... but a few) or conservative people. They're wise counsel for some things, but not generally good for bounicng around issues regarding your life, and what you want to with it as a person. Too many of them have been trained to be risk hedgers, myself included. I'm still trying desperately to unhinge my mind from seeing the pitfalls of everything, and seeing the huge upsides instead.
It's hard as hell to walk away from something you're so tied to, but if you believe its the only way you can regain the person you were, well, shit, brother... how much more of a cost/benefit analysis do you need?
You can do it. The tyranny of the rat race is not terminal...

2. Do I want to be around for the child?
3. Do I want my kid to think of me as another shakedown artist?
I want the kid to know a father with some balls, and one who took some risks.
You're going to die someday, Coltrane. And Penske's right. Every minute that goes by is a lost one...
You're only prolonging the inevitable. You know you'll quit. I can sense it in the way you write. You're not wired for the Office. You'd better go, before you get bitter.

One of the following will happen first: (1) I will walk out; (2) my smart-ass mouth will get me in trouble...it's like I'm in the first stage of tourettes - I literally cannot control some of the shit that comes out of my mouth (to anyone). I was supposed to grow out of this. In 10th grade it was, "Mr. Coltrane, Sr., your son has a big problem with authority." Nothing has changed. Whatever I think comes out of my mouth. Immediately. I can't stop it.

This sounds suspiciously like the speech given to me by my father when I told him I was thinking of leaving my marriage.

Can I have your dad's number? Please call him in advance and let him know that I am thinking of leaving my job, so he should change some of the details in the speech. |

not necessarially. once someone like me knows we're going to fire another, I'll get them involved in all of the files I fucked up. that way, once they're gone, I'll be able to dodge responsibility for my malpractice by pointing to their involvement.

No, no, no. This means they love you and want you to have many chances for success. |

I actually haven't had those thoughts for a couple of months, but last night, at about 11:30, it all came back to me.

MP wants one last good look?
Did he keep assigning things to you until you finally picked up that pencil in front of his desk? |
