Yes. It is very personal. It is part of who I am, and who I am is a sucker. It is a large part of my identity -- wrapped around me like a Patagonia better sweater. I have to peel it away, and let myself understand that it isn't me. It is my job.

Now if I can only get over the fear of looking for a new job. Or being jobless. Or the new day. Or the new place. Or the new people. Or the interviews.

Once again, Peter Gibbons will describe me in a succinct, brilliant quote: "I'm gonna end up doing it, because, uh... because I'm a big pussy, which is why I work at Initech to begin with."
