Why is it?


Why is it that in my jobs, that for some reason i start to become very annoyed and disconnected with my job at the same point. I hit the 2 to 3 year mark and i start to hate my job. Is it that i am blinded by the everything and then it dawns on me the complete stupidity of it. Or is it the winter doldrums and I am just getting the usual January/February I hate my job syndrome? I can't understand how people out there have worked their jobs for more than 3 years. Teachers, okay, they get vacations to break up the monotony of the job. It's hard, but there are allotted weeks and months away from it and that is what can keep it fresh. But other than that..... what is it?

Now i am a great employee. I actually give a shit about my job and doing well in it and succeeding. I look forward to challenges that will expand my mind and of course my resume. Give me a project and sure i will get it done to the best of my ability. I am punctual and a go getter. I am pro active and think outside of the box for new answers to questions. I have a wicked work ethic. I am not even sure where i got it from either, but it is important to me. I am proud of my work ethic.

I have thought many times that i should be my own boss. I should run my own business. But i just have no clue what i want to do. I revert back to being a kid again and it becomes a monster question. Like i could be anything in the world..... what would i want to be. Granted, i want it to be profitable and i want it to be something i am passionate about. Owning your own business means that is your life for a long time and you better enjoy what you do. I just don't know. All i know is it is time for that change again.... i can smell it in the winter air.....

Wow, I get bored after a year, so you're ahead of me.

Happens to me, too. I'll never be able to retire (as if I'd be able to retire, ever, if I stuck with a job. Stupid humanities!).
