Similarities

I am feeling pretty indifferent towards my job right now.  Sure, there are some good things to be said for it, but it's kind of a dead-end.  I know it's not where I want to be in five years - hell it's not even where I want to be in five months.  And, it's not as though it's leading me to other opportunities.  There's no light at the end of this tunnel that I'm trying to reach, no real reason to stick it out for a set period of time.  So it feels like I am just sitting here without any real purpose, floating along, passing time.  Yet I'm not being particularly active in seeking out alternatives.  The problem is, my current situation is pretty comfortable.  It's easy.  I have no urgent reason to quit now; in fact, it's quite the opposite.  There are probably more reasons why I should just stay until something better comes along.  It can be a giant pain-in-the-ass sometimes, but for the most part, it's really not so bad.  But I also think that the longer I stay and the more comfortable I get, the harder it will be to leave for something unfamiliar that holds more potential for a future.  

Now, replace "my job" with "'F'" and read that paragraph again.
