How do you know when you're done?

How do you know when you're done? I mean really done. The kind of done where just walking out the door with the resounding sound of "Fck it" is the best option for you?

I guess if you're asking the question, it's probably close, but how do you know for sure? There are bad days everywhere, and that's to be expected. But when is a bad day, or a bad project just that?? And when is it just time to realize it'll never get better and to get the hell out???

That's my dilema. My gut says get the hell out, but my logical side is saying that I can stick it out and have it get better. But I dunno. These last few months have been horrible and I've absolutely hated where I work. But is it an anomaly or is it the way it is? The problem is no one knows.

People tell me never to make big decisions when times are bad. But I tend to think that how people react when how you are treated when times are bad is what really shows how people's true colours. If times are bad and people rally to help, it's great. If times are bad and people take the opportunity to kick you then that shows you're not working for leaders, you're working for a jackass.

So, I dunno. Am I done -- it feels that way. But maybe the place just needs a leader who'll chose to pick people up, not kick them. And maybe it's time for me to be that person.

Or, maybe I should listen to my gut and get out. The band still played on the Titanic as she was sinking. And the conductor wasn't a leader, he was someone who just didn't realize the true gravity of the situation. I don't want to be the guy who was conducting the band on the Titanic.
