For some reason I love that piece of writing. Many sentences, like

>My God, no one could blame me -- no one! -- if I went off the edge and just lost it completely one day.

really resonated with my younger self. If course I didn't really think any of this things (like the author didn't), but there's something cathartic in this.

Also I respect the author for just doing what he felt at a time and going along it, even though it is obviously not the best move for one's career. We are not just or jobs. This is also something I aspire to.
