Rethinking...

There was a time that I really wanted to be a programmer. Web programming (especially PHP) really appealed to me. I loved it. I found that PHP could do just about everything.

I got a job doing a little bit of web programming and then the company moved. I didn't want to move since I planned on asking the girl that I was dating to marry me, so I looked for another job. After working there for a little while, mostly doing network admin stuff, I took up the additional position of web programming. Then came the day that my boss asked to make a special web application. It turned out to be a bit more than I could do. Not my skill set really, although I am still learning to program, just that there was too much to do day in and day out.

I started to get a bit frustrated and was in a bad mood all the time. Not the position that I wanted to be in considering that I went down that road once before and fought hard to get out of it. So now I am at that position again.

My boss is starting to get annoyed at me that the project has been "in the works" for about a month now. Granted it's not a small project but I haven't been able to work on it a couple of weeks.

Not sure what to do. Tell him that I just can't finish it? Tell him that I don't want to finish it? Just ride it out a little longer and see if I can get it done? Eigh...I'll just play it by ear and hopefully it will finally be over with.
