No pain, but no gain either

September 23rd, 2009

I am pondering a work relationship which is neither bad nor good, just there. It’s not a problem; on the other hand, it’s not a benefit, either. We meet from time to time and have a good discussion, and I leave feeling like it’s going to lead to something, but it never does, for either of us.

I worry that if I say, “You know, neither of us is getting anything out of this relationship — perhaps we should just let it go,” it’ll end up harming me somehow. On the other hand, I’m starting to think that I could invest the time and energy in creating a more productive, lucrative connection elsewhere instead.

This may be one of those cliffs I have to jump off of. But how can I know?
