The following question was presented:
A big thank you to “The Clash” for this week's vote question. These days it seems like the mountain of “you know what” that has to be dealt with on a daily basis just keeps getting bigger and my shovel just doesn't seem up to the task anymore. So we ask - should I stay or should I go?
Results:
No (Go), Maybe, I don't understand the question and Dale Earnhardt Jr tied with 25% of the votes each from the following selection:
- Yes (Stay) (0%)
- No (Go) (25%)
- Maybe (25%)
- I don't understand the question (25%)
- Dale Earnhardt Jr (25%)

Analysis:
It's often said on the NASCAR racing that any vote that has Dale Earnhardt Jr as one of the options always wins. Not an outright winner here, but a winner none the less. For anyone wondering about this being included as an option, it relates to the fact that Dale Earnhardt Jr has made the decision to leave Dale Earnhardt Inc and go race for Hendrick Motorsport next season. Dale Earnhardt Inc still continues and Martin Truex Jr becomes their number one driver - it just kind of seems odd to me, but I guess he figured he needed a change to progress his career. So, Dale Earnhardt Jr made the decision to go.
Now to the more pressing predicament of me. Seems that out of the “stay or go” choice that go is the clear winner. I will duly take this into consideration between now and the end of the year as I make my decision on whether or not to change careers. (Although I don't work for a company of the same name as myself).
There were a couple of sit on the fence people with maybe. Come on - make a decision and go with it! Then there were a couple of confused people. Me thinks the confusion may have come with the way I originally phrased the question and them voting from the email as it just gave the options of “yes or no” rather than clarifying which of these tied to stay and go. Anyway, I corrected it before anyone voted so you've not really got an excuse for not understanding the question.
Well, Im off to add this factor to the Bayesian analysis I'm doing on my future. And the sad thing is that I am actually doing this analysis! Well, between Star Trek episodes anyway.
