Picture this situation:

You live near the circuit breakers in the basement of an apartment. You're very good friends with the people on the first floor, and you've promised to keep the electricity on for them all the time. But you're also good friends with the people on the second floor, and you made the same promise to them.

Now here's the catch: every time you the circuit for the first floor goes out, and you flip it back on, the second floor goes out. Every time you switch the second floor back on, the first floor goes out.

Now imagine the problem magnified a hundredfold. An apartment building full of people you care about, all of whom you desperately try to keep power going to. In the end, you fail, and fail, and fail, and fail. And all of these people you care about are angry; or they pull away from you, and look for someone else to do your job; whatever.

In the end, you have two options. You can keep going and going, and trying and trying and trying, and failing and failing and failing, until everybody hates you and you hate yourself -- or you can quit your job.

I think... I think it's time I quit my job.
