It's Not Really Working For Me

I've been in the same job for a year and three months now. This is a new personal best for time in a single job.. but guess what - yes, that's right folks, I'm getting really fed up with it (I won't go into the multitude of reasons why)! I'm hoping to search for something better in the new year as things just feel stale at the minute.

I can't really go on like this, moving around all the time, it doesn't feel very healthy. I definitely feel the urge to settle in one place, at least for a few years. It's as if I've been constantly on the run from something for the past few years - myself maybe?! I'm taking this job thing much more seriously than I used to as let's face it - what you do for work on a daily basis can profoundly affect your standard of life and general wellbeing - which is kind of a big deal! Before, I had a few periods of unemployment in between jobs which helped in a way because it gave me time to recharge my batteries and approach each new job with enthusiasm and zest. I've now been in full time employment for at least 3 years and as a direct consequence of this monotonous existence I'm now finding myself being forced to evaluate my life and what I really want to do. I suppose my dream job would be to work at the playboy mansion but it will remain exactly that - a job that can only be dreamt of!

Perhaps I'm not cut out for working full time and will ultimately end up as a tramp. Perhaps I'm in the wrong line of work, or perhaps I'm in the right line of work but the wrong industry. You know what the really frustrating thing about it is?..

I just don't know!
