i so wanna...

quit.

And I am seriously contemplating if I should. Although I have no other options of a job at the moment. But I'm unhappy, tired and feeling like an idiot at work all the time.

The money is a relief. Of cos. But the endless days of work, with no respite in sight. Last week was a 63 hour work week for me.

This week, and it's only wee hours of Tuesday morning and I've worked 20 hrs. Where normal people would have worked only 8 hours. Cos Monday has just ended.

And I still can't finish my work. Very often, under pressure to produce a piece of work, and with so many conflicting deadlines, I produce really crap quality work. And I feel embarrassed to hand in that piece of work. But what choice do I have? I haven't time to improve it, or spend another few more hours thinking about it.

Which brings me to another point. I'm just doing copy all the time. I want to do strategy, planning, regional work...but this week I am doing copy - telemarketing script and powerpoint slides.

Is this how my MBA should be used?

Did I spend a good $100,000 to learn things, only to let my brains rot.

If I get a temp job, at least I know I am letting my brain rot for temp pay and hours and workscope.

I think it is quite clear what I shld do, just a matter of if I have the courage to do it.
