The QOTW Curse
It's a curious thing, this QOTW.

For one: I always expand it in my head to say "Quote" rather than "Question of the Week", but that's rather more indicative of the way my brain works than anything else.

Further to this, and perhaps as an indication of how easily influenced I am; it has given rise to a plethora of pet peeves and phobias I had never previously considered. It has lead to the need to install new shelving to accommodate the collection of books that Amazon have been busily delivering to my door this past week, and it has seen me purchase a sizeable external hard drive, to help alleviate my new found paranoia that my computer may spontaneously combust, destroying years of hard work.

And so it is, as a new subject rolls around, that I am now considering jacking in a job in a company I have been employed by for over 6 years. It isn't a job that I have ever aspired to, but the company is good, has given me a great deal of opportunity to progress, and, above all else, provides me with free alcohol.

However, just the subject itself, let alone the stories of people merrily moving on to pastures new, has put me in a position where I feel I must take stock of my situation.

As such, I have spent this bank holiday weekend pondering whether the time is now right to pursue alternate employment rather than remain in the position I've held only for 8 months. I think the better option would be to dedicate less effort to reading these various stories and save myself some time and money.

Damn you QOTW, you make me think.
