From what you say it sounds like leaving is not an option. Can you make the job better in some way? Can you automate anything, and not tell your employer, so you look more productive but they don't know why? ;) Learning some bash and python to script stuff, could help here (and be v useful long-term skills). Make copious notes, to help with the context switching? If you're pretty much stuck, can you reduce outgoings and save some money, in order that one day you could work for a less-paid but more satisfying job? That could be a motivator, if you had a financial goal to reach, and could see yourself getting towards that daily? Do you absolutely have to live where you do, if local job market isn't fantastic? Is there some compromise involving moving "a little way down the road"? Just some ideas.... trying to help :)
- giantg2 5y agoThanks! Nothing automatible in this team that hasn't already been automated. I have used bat and ksh scripts to automate things in the past though. I'm already at a minimum cash outflow. I basically gave up many hobbies for ones that are cheaper or free. My friends actually make jokes about how cheap I am.
