The only consolation prize for those types of comments is a swift deletion. Yikes. The only consolation prize for those types of comments is a swift deletion.

Thanks guys! Shane, that feeling is really familiar to me, too. I know that O'Reilly isn't the perfect fit for everyone, but I was amazed to realize how long I've been there. Thanks for the song recommendation -- looks good! Nice hearing from the GOO here! Thanks guys!

Shane, that feeling is really familiar to me, too. I know that O’Reilly isn’t the perfect fit for everyone, but I was amazed to realize how long I’ve been there.

Thanks for the song recommendation — looks good!

No pressure if I fail? Next Ray Bradbury? Sorry, Peter. You're working with partial information. We don't have consolation prizes on this game show, but thank you for playing.

Come down off your high horse.... you have all the financial support you need, medical insurance, a place to live, no pressure if you fail.... I don't see you taking much of any risk at all. Maybe 20 years ago you could have... today you're just another middle-class person with too much security thinking you're the next Ray Bradbury.... Sorry, but that's how I see it.

I've felt like this with past jobs (and my current one is becoming the same). I never have trouble finding a job and the first 12 months or so I can pour myself into it but after that the boredom / depression sets in. It is such a difficult decision to move on into the unknown - aside from the fear of change there are always financial issues to deal with. I'm sensing a pattern and I realize that something needs to change. I would recommend listening to "Jerry stand up" by Something for Kate - a very inspirational song when you need that extra motivation to follow a new path. http://www.metrolyrics.com/jerry-stand-up-lyrics-something-for-kate.html Bravo!

It is a little scary, but I'm glad you're doing it. I hope you find what you need, including life-work that is fun, productive, and fulfilling.
