The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
<snip>To me, it seems like taking a vacation from a bad job is like getting
drunk
to drown your sorrows; to paraphrase Churchill, next week you'll be back in
the cube and the job will still be ugly.</snip>
Which is true, but it's entirely possible that next week you'll be back in
the cube and something wonderful will happen on the job, like an interesting
new project, a chance to learn something new that interests you, or the
opportunity to *create* wonderful new things for yourself, even though for
the time being you have to keep your head down and slog through a pile of
what makes the grass grow green.
If it's truly awful, get out. If it's only temporarily ugly, hang in there.
Taking even a mini-vacation can make a big difference either way, and nobody
can take that away from you.
