In a work rut (vent)
I am in a major work rut right now with the 9-5. No motivation whatsoever. It's not good, I don't like it. Considering I need to stay here at least another 6 months, I need to change my attitude.
I'm just so over this place. 
I've been here 5 years, I know I won't be here much longer. Ugh, what a rotten feeling this is. Plus, 2 of my girlfriends I work with are being promoted and things are going really well for them, and even though I'm not driven to further myself here, I feel left behind.
Just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks, loves!
Re: In a work rut (vent)
vent away shazz girl. It must be frustrating to have a passion for something else, but still have to be there every day.
Any days off you have to look forward to?
I'm stressed at my new job, and I keep telling myself I'll take a mental health day after Thanksgiving.
I was totally in your spot this time last year, so I totally feel you - I'm with Melko, any days off you can look forward to? Are there any weird little projects you can give yourself to do?
Another option could be to come up with weird office games. An example: we had a staff member that would go into his boss's office a ridiculous amount of times per day. We started counting and sending the number around to each other (we coded the game "J pong", the staff member's name started with a J). That one works best with at least one other person, obviously
I decided to completely disengage when I really couldn't take it anymore - although it was more a coping mechanism with the amount of stress I was under, and that doesn't sound too much like your situation. But it might not be a terrible idea? I would focus completely and only on what my life outside my work was. Obviously I continued to do my job, but I managed to basically detach myself. Since you've been there for 5 years, I'm sure a majority of what you do is auto-pilot so this might work...?
I'll think some more on this

EDD October 10, 2013
I have Monday off from work. I actually have stuff going on every weekend, which is very exciting (weddings to shoot and to attend as a guest, and engagement shoots). I'm having headshots done tomorrow, and I'm nervous, but excited, to get in front of the camera. Haven't really had pics done since our wedding, and it'll be very different I think!
I think I might take a couple hours on Monday and go do something just for me, like a walk on the beach and then a mani/pedi. I need it!

That's very much how I feel. Going through the motions, not caring, doing what I have to do and then going home. I've lost any and all drive to grow here.
my blog
You're so right. And I'm closer than ever before to getting to that point. A year and a half ago, I said "sometime in the next 2 years" and now I'm closing in on the 2 year mark in March/April. I'm almost there!
