    Please read my post in your other thread before making your decision today. I applaud you for giving up show 1...I just hope that you make the right decision on show #2.
    Best of luck to you no matter what you decide tho.

    these threads remind me of someone who used to post on here a few years ago making threads complaining about EVERYTHING, and then just dismissing EVERYONE'S advice? ;)

    GREEN TEA DISEASE

    that is just one name the person had......

    but back to the OP.....

    We all get that you have a tough decision to make. Leaving a job that you're completely bored with is never easy. I did it....after 13 years at it. But a lot of us here have also made the choice to miss shows over the years because of other priorities. These shows were announced in late June/early July. As much as I wanted to go to Seattle, I did not have the funds for airfare, the tickets and hotel. Additionally, it is busy season at my company and time is tough to take in September....much easier to take in October. So I made the choice to go to Philly since I can drive there and 3 other friends are going (to share on the hotel). As soon as I purchased my tickets through 10C, I put in for the time off.

    It sounds as though you made the decision in July to go to the Seattle shows so I guess I do not see where your debate is. Go. take the time off or quit but go.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Yea, it's not like he took pics of his own penis for everyone to see.

    Why are people dismissing this guys feelings and being so insulting to him?
    He is obviously going through a personal crisis right now and he thought maybe he could come
    to a place where he felt comfortable enough to share his feelings and maybe, just maybe get
    a little constructive advice.
    Instead he gets people mocking him, being condescending and basically telling him he's an idiot if
    he follows through on his plan.
    I thought this place was a community? Yes, I know it's a public forum and everyone who belongs to it
    is free to make a comment but seriously, would it be so hard to just open up his thread, read it
    and if you have nothing constructive to offer him then just close it and move on?

    There is plenty of sound advice given to the OP, in each one of the 5 threads he started.
    Take me piece by piece.....

    the only person you have to answer to is yourself ... people have given you honest advice here - it's up to you to digest it and do what you will ... at the end of the day - you have to make a decision that you will be comfortable with ... it may be the wrong decision but sometimes there is no way of knowing that until you actually make one ... and even then - being wrong in hindsight doesn't mean much as long as you were making the decision for all ther right reasons at the time ...

    set yourself free from your own trappings

    Walked into work and had a hard time concentrating on anything but my decision. Quit and try and find a new job, and go to seattle shows. Or stay, have job, and not go to seattle. Despite thinking about it nonstop for my entire shift, I didnt put in my 2 weeks notice. So I guess Seattle 1 is a no go. I feel sick frankly. I feel I let myself down. I dont know.

    Decision day 2, is tomorrow. Basically I could put my 2 weeks in tomorrow, miss Night one, and ride up for night 2. Not sure what i will do.

    All I know is, no matter what I had done today, I dont think I would have felt satisfied with my decision. And I dont right now. I feel ambivilent, majorly. I feel in many ways I should have put in my 2 weeks today.

    We will see what happens tomorrow.
    Oh gawd, I am so tired of you being such a drama queen about your petty decisions and posting thread after thread about them as though these are life changing issues....when they couldn't be further from that.

    Are you kind of a sensitive guy? Maybe real neat and thin? Do you cry a lot? Would you rather hang out with the girls instead of the guys? Did you choose dolls over Tonka trucks when you were a kid?
