...... No, I wouldn't quit.

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:22:15 UTC

You haven't been through what I have.

meatball_senshi January 2 2008, 01:24:01 UTC

What have you been through that I haven't?

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:26:47 UTC

Being a responsible adult, for one. But that's not the point.

Uhm. No... Giving up is never the answer.

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:28:12 UTC

Even if there's no way to win, for want of a better word?

memoryhunter January 2 2008, 01:29:52 UTC

Nah, don't give up. I'm in a similar situation at the moment. Giving up.. I don't see the point.

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:32:05 UTC

What else can I do?

Depends on what you're giving up.

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:27:18 UTC

What if it's a person?

Then you have to think long and hard about it. Would it be worth cutting all ties with someone? Especially if it's someone you're close to. Or would it just be a slight parting of ways, and the two of you stay friends.

Personally, I don't think I would. When you do what I do for a living, you learn that every person you are close to is precious, and you can loose them far too easily to just cut them out of your life, no matter what they've done.

I don't know anymore. She was close, once, but now she's hurt so many people and, rocked in the poison cradle of her own ego, she's not even aware that other people can hurt. I'm tired of being rebuffed for trying to protect her. I don't know if she's worth it anymore.

The best option I can think of is to maintain a purely professional relationship, but I don't think I can trust her to honor it.

Absolutely.

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 02:40:26 UTC

Really?

gigolo_miko January 2 2008, 02:41:48 UTC

Every day.

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 02:46:23 UTC

I wish I could be that sure.

What do you wanna give up? :O

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:28:44 UTC

I want to give up on a person.

usabun_cakes January 2 2008, 01:31:12 UTC

That.. that's so sad..

myjob_sucks January 2 2008, 01:33:54 UTC

The person in question is a selfish, arrogant, childish brat who pushes away the people who are trying to keep her alive.
