I'm in a similar boat. Not as bad as your experience sounds, but I would definitely consider it an unchallenging job that leaves me feeling more stressed than anything. I have lots of ideas I want to pursue in my free time, but I know that if I get involved in a project it will make time go by quicker and I'll just have to be back at work sooner. Everything I do in my off time is designed to make it feel as long as possible. I haven't read a book in months. Sometimes I don't even want to watch TV because it's too entertaining.
God damn that's depressing to write down.
- bennyg 13y agoYou should read that book. Seriously. If you don't have fun at your job, and you're not having fun away from your job something needs to change. It's easier to have fun in the latter situation versus changing your job. Good luck my friend.
- charlesray 13y agoWhich book?
- bennyg 13y agoI don't know, I saw that you said you haven't read a book in months - I thought maybe you had one in mind. If not, I recommend "Timeline" by Michael Crichton. It's not a taxing or immensely intellectual read, but it's a great adventure story with very interesting and suspenseful parts. It's a lot of fun to read and definitely won't feel like work - it'll feel like play.
