The Eternal Dilemma
Okay folks, you are all good people in whom I have a great deal of faith, and whose opinion I hold dear. Perhaps you could ask your agony lady this one?

Should I continue to work in an unfulfilling job which fails to inspire me on any level, in an environment which appears designed to stifle the very creativity it purports to promote? Should I continue to write sarcastic negative emails to friends whilst bemoaning the fact that publishing companies will not see my talent and give me a large advance for my first sarcastic negative novel, despite the fact that I haven't written anything longer than, well than this, yet? Should I continue to listen to the inane ramblings of a boss who earns twice as much as me simply because he is twenty years older?

Or should I just go down the docks with a pile of cash, buy myself an automatic weapon and a big bag of crack, and go on a psychotic spree of slaughter before turning the gun on my own crack-addled head and slewing my brains out across the boss's corner office?

I can't be the only one out there facing this dilemma. Come on Tania, you're the expert.
