I was listening to Jonathan Coulton on the drive to an unfulfilling job that I probably would have just kept doing forever because change is hard and scary. I was sitting there that day with “A Talk with George” stuck in my head on a loop.

Don’t live another day unless you make it count
There’s someone else that you’re supposed to be
'Cause something deep inside of you that still wants out
And shame on you if you don’t set it free

That was the day I walked out the door, sent in my resignation, and started a career that made a lot better use of my skills.
