I'd use capricious or impulsive. Fickle and inconstant refer mostly to human relations. Whimsical is a fond term.

Hi, AlpheccaStars. Thanks for the words, but I wonder if "impatient" is an appropriate word for such situations. It makes it look like he/she quit because he/she couldn't stand it anylonger.
