How do I stop caring about whether work is fun or fulfilling and just collect my check and feel fine about that? I’ve been in the same gig for over four years now and I’m sick of it, but maybe if I could just check out entirely and punch the clock I might be able to take the money and use it to make my non work time better? Most people I’ve talked to about this are skeptical I’d be able to do it.
@maxx yeahhhh. i often have this line of thinking for the 6-12 months leading up to changing roles/projects. This time is different for myself but only because of the part time arrangement. I quiet quit in 2012 working for Geo, and that was good for getting time back. But I learned that it's hard not to be drained by the psychic damage caused by stupid shit and stupid people at work...
@jjwolverine the killer combo is the feeling of stagnation mixed with having to deal with stupid and unethical people. Once the former happens I start losing my ability to be professional and tolerate the latter.
