Christmas Tree at work

Ironic thing is, this is a nice place to work and I am thankful to have a full-time permanent job again, but I am soooo bored most of the time. Another thing I am thankful for is that I can surf the web in the down time (the employer doesn't care) but I hate being bored.

I really was not happy at the job I left back in August 2012, but I feel like I needed a leave of absence to recharge. Since the beginning of 2013 I have had two part time jobs and worked various temporary full time day jobs all year. Until October 2013 when I got the job I have now. I thought I would like it but I really don't. I do about 2 hours of work a day (mostly typing and some phones). And I am not really sorry or regretful about the jobs I have done all year long. Some menial jobs I like better than this, because I could stay busy all day long.

I happened to drive by my old work tonight and I really miss it, but I'm not sure it's because I really miss it or wishing I had something I like again. I don't necessarily miss the industry, I left partly because my interests have nothing to do with the industry I was working in. I DO miss working in my own little work area, listening to my own radio if I want to, I could do data entry all day long (I looooove data entry and I am really good at it), and I could bring Dottie to work. There was open space behind the building where I could walk or ride my bike or take pictures of wildlife.

Having to leave her at home all the time since August 2012 has really put a strain on our household. But I also am not sorry for doing all the stuff I have done this year. I felt stuck at the job I was at. I wanted to explore other things. And even a few months after I left I felt that if I could have just taken some time off from that job (like a couple months) I could have refreshed and had a different attitude.

Now I am in the same conundrum I was in, do I stay and hope that it will change? Or do I look for something else again? I hate quitting, even if it isn't good for me. I just don't want to disappoint those who hired me, because I am not a flake. I take things very seriously, but I want to be happy too.
