Starting something you couldn't finishFinnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

When fresh out of uni and an even bigger twat than I am now (assuming that's possible)I of course temp'd while trying to find a "proper" job.
I was always the office boy/administrator in various civil service offices - you know the score - but one dept I worked in I actually quite enjoyed being in, and was there for a good six months.
One of the most depressing things I heard was when our unit and a few others were down the pub, and I was saying I was thinking of applying for a job there.
I said "It will just be a stop-gap until I get a break with my writing", and one of the 50ish-year-olds stared into his pint and said "Yes - I joined here as a stop-gap to becoming a musician."
HUGE wake-up call for me - however stereotypical/common/predictable.
