Personal Moral Dilemmas?

Some issues people have are caused by the duality of their beliefs and views. I'm talking about dilemmas that makes us indecisive or causes internal conflicts.

For example, I'd like to go around seducing and hooking up with all the women I find attractive. But my good Christian boy upbringing (I'm more of a Christmas and Easter Christian now) says it'd be sinful adultery. What are some personal moral dilemmas you face in life?

So I've found that there is a notable indicator of the music I crave while exercising correlated with my mood. I enjoy pop/hip hip and here is what I found this past few days.

Sunday - Enjoyed a workout with Lil Jon, Pitbull, and even some DJ Khaled.
Monday - Emails received throughout Sunday got my gears grinding. I put on some Jay-Z, Trick Trick, and Eminem. Think Welcome to Detroit, Renegade, and Bad Guy. Tuesday - Mood sunk lower and I kicked off the workout with Biggie and Tupac. Think the Warning and Hit Em' Up. Today - Hit the gym with Andre Nickatina, NAS, and Mobb Deep. Think Andre Nickatina - Situation Critical.

Let's hope this week has a dead cat bounce. Or else Hip Hop will be off the table and I'll be lifting to Theory of a Deadman and Static X tomorrow.

 

I fucking love pizza.

I also gained too much weight since college.

This is the greatest dilemma in my life.

"innovativeguy11" Leaving a job for a good opportunity, but not wanting to upset your former boss by surprising him/her with a two week notice.

This is easy. Give them the two weeks to notice exit.

I’ve been there. Absolutely loved working with a previous boss. He was more between an Uncle and a mentor than an actual boss. I took him to lunch and laid out where I planned on going (switching roles in the industry for x y z reasons), that I loved working with him but just want my career to go more in a different direction. He was sad to lose me but happy for the honesty. Still talk to him regularly. He’s building this new custom home and I walk the building with him and look out at the sick view. I’m going to talk to his son about transferring to a good school and the importance of that. It can work.

"MMBanker14" This is tough when you're leaving a company and boss you really like.

Ok, got me, this is tough. I thought it was a Napoleon complex boss that would go Worldstar on you.

 

As someone looking to lateral and imagine I will have the opportunity to do so pretty soon, this is something I think about all the time. My team has for the most part been very nice to me and I actually do enjoy working for them, but I expect a lot of the mid level people (associates and vps) will be pretty upset and surprised. I hate the fact that I'll be giving them a major screw over by dipping, but gotta do what must be done.

On one hand I was raised that I owe any company I work for 2 years. On the other, I have not had a morning where I do not consider quitting/ calling in sick for the past 8 months.
