[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat. GS-15, 17 years in. My workplace is not hostile but I am bored out of my mind because I have been doing the same job for so long. There is nothing out there right now. I'm keeping myself sane by taking liberal use of paid time off and traveling with my family. I'm also working out a lot and I'm going to start doing pro bono work rather than buying my way out of it each year. My advice is to find ways to make the time that you are out of the office fulfilling.[/quote]

Very similar experience (other than the probing work, which is a great idea!). I have 20+ years of service but didn't meet the age cutoff for VERA this year. I have been in my position for too long and frankly, I'm bored. I would like to move within my agency to do something else, but can't right now because of the low staffing and hiring freezes. At this point I am hoping to stick it out a few more years and hope they offer VERA when I am eligible. My job is not bad at the moment. I actually enjoy going into the office most days, though wish there were more telework options. I just wish I were spending my time more purposefully. I really like your suggestion to find ways outside of work more fulfilling. [/quote]
