Dear ferion:

This is tough, the situation you are in, the predicament, the conflict. What to choose: the hateful situation you were in or the potentially hateful situation you will be in? The known misery or the potential misery?

If you choose the known misery: you will be hearing your boss’s voice every day for six months, editing those real estate ads. If you chose the potential misery, you may be unemployed for as long as a year or more, unknown period of time. During that time, you don’t know how life will be for you. You will be looking for a job and … you may even settle for another hateful job.

The price to pay with the first option is the Known misery (and some security). The price to pay for the second is the Unknown.

I wonder how you handled the unknown so far in your life, to get a clue as to how you will handle the unknown in the second option. How has your anxiety level throughout your life, at different times?
