Work Blahs

I still seem to have a lot of ennui about work. Work used to be my passion. Don't get me wrong. I like my job. I'm just not all that into it anymore. (Work, I'm just not that INTO you.) There are a few aspects that get me going but for the most part... meh.

I'm not sure what it is. I'm on a team now that presents fewer challenges in the day to day job than I used to face. So perhaps that's boring me? At the same time though, this team provides more opportunities for growth in some of my favorite aspects of the job. So that part should excite me.

Or is it that I'm getting older, and that's just what happens? Or is it that my home life is so much more important and dynamic to me right now?

Does anyone have insight on this? It's important to me. It's hard for me sometimes to just not care. I don't feel like I'm doing the best job I can, and I remember when it was awesome.

In my experience, It's Life. it revolves. It ebbs. It flows. Perspective change out of daily and past experiences. Our passions are directly related to our heartstrings. I would think that it happens to anyone that is willing to grow and evolve from their life experiences

Hugs to you

I'd say that it is probably that your home life is more important at the moment. But like Farah said, it changes and flows.

Yep, family has become more important....right now. E is very young and needs LOTS from you right now. I'm willing to wager that once he's in school full time, you'll find a little more oomph for "your stuff" again. I keep reminding myself that when I feel like a "Mombie," there will be plenty more times in my life that I can find my passions and indulge in them again. :-)
