Daylong Doldrums

I want to start this off by saying that I truly love my job. Seriously. I know that this may be hard to believe after you read the rest of this post, but I am being 100% honest when I say that I enjoy my job.
Lately, my job has not made me feel satisfied. I’m not sure that I can pinpoint exactly what the problem stems from. It could be that so much is going on in my personal life that work just seems to minor. It might also be that I really never have any closure to many of my activities. Projects go on and on with little sense of an end in sight. 

I usually get pretty jazzed to do certain activities at work. Obviously, writing is exciting for me. And, oddly enough, digging through complicated spreadsheets trying to solve a budgetary issue is also a thrill. But, I’m finding that even these two activities just really don’t give me enjoyment right now.

I know I’m not bored with my job. I can’t be, I’m still learning. I do get satisfactory positive feedback from those I work closest with, so I know that isn’t the issue. It is almost like I am in some type of a funk and just need to find my way out. I need to find that passion for my work again. And, I’d like to find it soon. The past couple of weeks, being at work has been too much of a chore. Not a healthy way to spend the day!!
