Maybe the universe heard me...

Well you know how I was ready to quit on the spot Wednesday? Well Thursday and Friday (and today so far) went exeptionally well. I don't know what's the deal. My coworker J finally gave up a sliver of control over our main financial assistance program processing and I got involved a little in the process which makes me feel much more useful. I remember a few years ago I wanted a job where you get paid to do nothing. Well that got old. Now I need to do something and keep busy because it's driving me nuts. I think that my problem is I'm too smart for my job. That sounds conceited, but I swear I'm a modest person and it took me years to admit this to myself. Where do I go from here though? No idea yet... still thinking...

What's your ideal job? Or at least, what does it look like? Maybe you don't know what exactly it is, but you have an idea of what you want to do, and not do?Then try some "backwards" thinking, start at the ideal job and work your way back to what you need to do in order to get it.

yeah, what she said! lol
Figure out what you love.
Research jobs that include those things and go from there.

Ahh, the grass is always greener - when I have a job that's busy all the time (now), I want one that's mindless and boring. When I have one that's boring (SAHW), I want something more busy.
Even aside from that, it's important to have something that you feel *fufilled* doing, I think. That's the key. Miika's got a good approach - it'll be awhile before I can have my dream job, but I know what it is! (And that it's NOT THIS!)
