I only say this because I've worked at two particularly soul-sucking jobs recently.. I'm a librarian, which sounds all nice and relaxing, but let me tell you, nothing's less rewarding than public service. Not to mention, I spend every last soul-sucking moment agonizing over what I *could* be accomplishing instead. In Stephen King's book, the Dark Tower, he makes a reference to "screaming talent". What it says, basically, is that when you have a talent, it begs to be used, *screams* to be used, to the point that it keeps you up at night, screaming "USE ME, DAMMIT, USE ME!". I definitely have one of those screaming talents. I feel like less of a person on any day in which I don't get to draw... and having a job where I don't get to use it feels almost crippling in a way.
Am I the only one who feels like my job is killing me?
