Nothing could be further from the truth.

There.
I said it.
Somebody had to say it.

I'm taking a break from this place.
AmofO perhaps reflect on why you have such a strong emotional response? What are you trying to prove to us? In my opinion your reaction is perhaps trying to prove something to yourself.

There is a third option TDG - you are collecting unemployment to which you paid into for some time. While I appreciate the desire to eat what you kill, what about taking a step back for a period of time and really doing some serious work on yourself as EndGameNYC suggested? Is it possible this desire to get a job is an escape? Why not take a little time and figure things out and then maybe your choices won't be a casino or sandwich shop?
