[quote=Anonymous]this is really just a vent because i know there are no solutions. i used to love my job, but a combination of asinine office politics and doing the same damn thing for 10 years with no end in sight means i just am so unmotivated. i turned a project into my supervisor today, knew it wasn't great, was told to fix it (in a nice way -- my supervisor is a nice guy), and didn't even care. i'll fix it, but i didn't care about getting mediocre feedback on it. a year ago, i would've been pretty upset. i just don't care anymore.

i live for the moment when i pick up my 1 year old from daycare. i hate that i can only spend 2 hours with her in the evening (less if, like today, she didn't nap well at daycare and so is taking a late nap). i hate that i'm tired from a 60 min commute each way through beltway traffic.

i wish i could become a SAHM, but we just can't afford it. i also don't want to put that much pressure on my husband, who has a chronic illness that is exacerbated from stress. his illness also means we can't afford to not have guaranteed insurance (i work for the feds in a job i essentially can't be fired from, while he's in the private sector).

anyway, i just wanted to vent a little.[/quote]
