View Full Version : Too comfortable in my temp job?

I have a temp job doing some documentation that, I must say, I find not bad for a temp job. It's boring, but the people I work for know that it's boring, so they cut me more leeway than even some jobs as a "perm" employee that I've had.

However, I can't escape the nagging feeling that a little part of me dies each day when I go in and sit in my cube for 7 or 8 hours. I also have a very real fear of getting myself fired because there are so many days when I just feel like I can't concentrate and don't want to concentrate. Furthermore, while it's a pleasant enough temp job, it's not really a career job and I don't consider medicating myself any further to be an option (even though a pushy doctor has me on meds that she herself concedes don't add much).

I suspect I'm just rambling and whining, but does this resonate with anyone? I feel like I lack the courage to make a clean break and spend my days doing something else, even though that might be wise.

I think I'm gonna take a couple of classes in the fall and cut back my hours; that should help a bit.
